The Junior Dalton Line, the Missing Link, by R. N. D. Hamilton  p.7
Chapter I. 
  This paper discusses the tradition that the Daltons of Witney, the so-called junior Dalton line, are descended from Roger Dalton of Thurnham.  The author gives a transcription of the will of Roger, dated 1588, which makes no mention of a son called Walter.  The possibility that the Witney Daltons are descended from the Yorkshire Dalton line is then discussed and suggestions made for further lines of research, to clarify the connections between the Yorkshire Daltons, the three Walter Daltons at Witney and James Dalton of Pembrey. 
The Junior Dalton Line, the Missing Link by R. N. D. Hamilton  p.26
Chapter II. 
  The possibility that Lawrence Dalton, Norry King of Arms, was the father of the first Walter Dalton of Witney is discussed.  Transcriptions of the wills of Lawrence Dalton (1561) and his wife Dorothy (1595) are given.  There is no mention in either will of any children, so this possibility is discounted.
However, Dorothy seems to have had some connections with Cambridgeshire and this Chapter concludes with notes on the historical background of London in the time of Lawrence and Dorothy Dalton.

The Unprofitable Servant of God by Lucy Joan Slater  p.16
  This paper gives more information about the Daltons in Cambridgeshire in the 16th century and in particular, it gives the family trees of Thomas Dalton of Hildersham and his son Michael Dalton, the lawyer of West Wratting.  It gives the texts of the wills of Thomas, Michael and Michael's second wife Mary, together with a translation of the memorial to Tyrell Dalton, Michael's great grandson, in Fulbourn Church and a portrait of Michael Dalton himself.
It also discusses the strange business of the Allington marriage and, in an Appendix, lists references to these Dalton families in various Cambridgeshire parish records.
