His son, William Henry Dalton was born in 1811 and three years later the family moved to Kingston, in Upper Canada. Thomas Dalton began "The Patriot" an organ of the Government. Young William Henry and his brother, Robert Gladstone, often assisted their father with the publication.

By the time William Henry was 20 years of age, he had developed an interest in medicine and studied with a Dr. King of Toronto. After five years of study and internship at the General Hospital, he obtained his license to practice. He received his diploma from the examining body of the College of Physicians and Surgeons and his license on November 1, 1839. He was only the seventh person to become a licentiate of the College. Dr. Dalton spent a year in practice in Toronto and then moved to Ancaster, Dundas, Hamilton and Wellington Square (Burlington). From 1859 to 1875, Dr. Dalton practiced in Bolton Village where he was also the coroner and a medical Jurist.

| compiled by Millicent V. Craig Signers of the Guest Books on the Dalton Genealogical Society web site and on the DALTON DATA BANK have more than doubled. It is most encouraging to read that many signers are offering to help others by sharing their research. We also extend our appreciation to the DGS researchers who have helped with these queries: K. T. Mapstone, Melanie Crain and Mike Dalton. Dave Edwards is a new member of the DGS. Dave is searching for the birthplace in Ireland of sisters Anne and Mary Dalton who likely arrived in the US via the Port of New York. Anne married Michael Dillon in Albany and Mary married George Barrows in Pennsylvania. The Barrows had a bar outside of Philadelphia. Dave would like to be in contact with any descendents of Mary and George Barrows or with anyone who has knowledge of this line of Daltons. Response: A number of searches were made for information about both sisters and nothing has yielded results. If you have information, please contact Dave at: daveedwards@catskill.net Carol Henry is searching for information on Elmer Joseph Dalton who was born on 8/24/1888 in Middlegrove, Fulton, Co., IL to Samuel Avery Dalton and Viola Almina Morse. He married Nellie Margaret Longwell on 11/27/1912. She was born in Knox County 2/10/1892 to Mervin Longwell and Mary Donaldson who married on 5.19.1889. Response: K. T. Mapstone responded with several children; Chloe b. 1913. Ruby Louise b. 1915 and Carter Jack b. 1933.

Her older brother, James, b. approximately 1865 in Dukinfield, Cheshire went to live in Rhode Island, possibly Pawtucket. Response: A James T. Dalton appeared in the 1880 Census of Rhode Island. He was born in England but his birth date would have been about 1850. In the Pawtucket City Directories of 1891 and 1892 there was another James Dalton, a laborer who boarded at the rear of 83 Broad Street in Pawtucket. No additional information available on him. The next step would be to scan the 1900 Census of Rhode Island for the age and birthpalce of this James Dalton. Can anyone with access to this Census scan it for Pauline? E-mail: pauline.wainright1@virgin.net Here are two more Daltons who may be related to the Dalton Gang and who would like to hear from others who have the same ancestry.
