  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G.

  • 88 Haughley Park Andthe Sulyards. by Rev. "Arthurdimock
    88 HAUGHLEY PARK ANDTHE SULYARDS. BY REV. "ARTHURDIMOCK, Rector of Wetherden, Suffolk. In the Calendar of the Feet of Fines for Suffolk, edited by Mr. Walter Rye, in connection with the Suffolk Institute of ArchEeology, is found the following : " 3 Edw. iv. John Sulyard v. Walter Bradley and Joanna his wife, of the manor of Wetherdene in Wetherdene." This may be taken to mean that, not later than 1462, John Sulyard became lord of the manor of Wetherden.' According to the Visitations of Suffolk, this John Sulyard came from Eye. His family were chiefly noted for marrying heiresses, which will account for the quarter- ings, outside and inside the Sulyard aisle, in Wetherden Church. His three immediate anceStors distinguished themselves in this way. John Sulyard's only son (or only recorded son) has a history, for he improved on all his forefathers by marrying two heiresses. He devoted himself to the law, and became in succession, serjeant, puisne judge and Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,--one of many East Anglian judges. His home was Wetherden Hall, but who built that manor house I do not know. Chief Justice Sulyard, just about four centuries ago, built the present south aisle in Wetherden church, which went by the family name. In the Sulyard aisle he was buried in the tomb under the side arch. He must have left behind him considerable possessions. HAUGHLEY PARK AND THE SULYARDS. 89 Passing over his son, buried at Wetherden in .1538, we come to his grandson, also John. Although he married thrice, not one of these three ladies is put down as an heiress ; yet he made up in other ways.
