JUST A LITTLE BITDALTON

My grandmother was McCartha Maybelle Dalton, daughter of Zebulon Vance Dalton and Julie Evelyn Elliott. The name DALTON always intrigued me because of the mystique ofthe ofthe Old West. In fact, the older family members used to claim kin with those infamous outlaws. Long before I realized the importance of DOCUMENTING MY SOURCES,I came into possession of a two page paper, handwritten entitled THE DALTON OUTLAWS. I wish I could credit the writing to someone but cannot. I share the paper with you.

THE DALTON OUTLAWS

Lewis Dalton was their Father and their mother was Adeline. Don't know her last name (or maiden name) Their Children Robert Renick Dalton known as Bob Gratton Dalton Bill Dalton Emmett Dalton All these Bothers got killed except Emmett. He served several years in prison and when he got out he wrote a Book about the Dalton Gang. These are the ones that were good and didn't get killed Ben Dalton Daughters Charles Dalton Ev a Henry Dalton Leona Littleton Dalton Nannie Mae

Emmet was the 9*'' Son. All the Gang served as peace Officers in the Indian territary. Bob at age 18 was sworn in as police Chief for the Osage Indians in the west which was later called Oklahoma page 2 Dalton Outlaws

Frank was murdered by Whiskey runners on Sunday morning in November 1887. He was a marshal working for Judge Isaac Parker in the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations of what would become Oklahoma. He was a real good officer. He was a Hero. Gratton Dalton ioined after Frank was murdered. Emmett Dalton was sworn in at age 16 for peace officer. Bob and Gratton were shot dead in 1892. Bill was gunned down by a marshall's posse in 1894. Emmett went to prison in 1892.

All the notorious boys were killed except Emmett he went to prison. Then Bill decided to get him a Gang of young men and make another outllaw Gang. He was gunned down by a posse in 230 ESWAU HUPPEDAY. Vol. XXIV. No.4

1894. Emmett wrote a book on the Outlaw Gang. He wrote it just like it happened and used cuss wards and vulgar words too. The name of the book is THE)DESPERADOES.

[Note: this is the end ofthe two page handwritten paper about the Dalton Gang. I often wondered if there were not some connection to my Daltons because ofthe name of one ofthe children: Littleton Dalton. The name Littleton was one used in the family and was unusual enough to be significant.]

3y using GENFORUM I learned the names ofthe children and the maiden name ofthe mother. In a posting dated 17 Aug 1998, Rhonda Dalton Parker suggested that one go to the Kansas State site and click on outlaws. It gives a history of the Daltons. She says that James Lewis Dalton was the son of Benjamin Dalton and Nancy Raboum. Nancy's father was Henry Raboum. Benjamin was one offive brothers living in who all went separate directions. James Lewis Dalton married Adeline Younger.[Was she related to the Younger Gang of outlaws?] They had 15 children: Benjamin, Littleton, Gratton, William, Franklin, Charles, Eva, Leona, Henry, Nannie, Robert, Emmett, Simon and two other unidentified daughters.

In an article written by Joe DePriest for the SHELBY DAILY STAR dated 19 Jan 1981, Joe interviewed Fannie Laughter of Spindale concerning the 'outlaws hanging on her family tree.' Mrs. Fannie Laughter was the daughter of W. C. Dalton of the Bill's Creek area of Rutherford County, NC. All her life she had heard stores of those outlaws. They were descended from the Missouri branch ofthe family. Mrs. Laughter used to live in Oklahoma and had visited the den of the outlaws. She even talked to a woman who fed the gang when they were in the area. Fannie planned to visit her brother Guy Dalton who lived in Quinton, OK.[1 wonder if she ever did?]

Joe gave a little more information about Emmett, the last of the original gang. He changed fi-om being an outlaw to being a respectfiil contractor in California. He died there in 1937. Mr. DePriest recommended that anyone interested in that era of the Old West read the book: THE AUTHENTIC WILD WEST: THE OUTLAWS by historian James Horan.

As 1 stated earlier, my great grandfather was Zebulon Vance Dalton. Zeb was the son of Alfred Anderson Dalton and Mary Catherine 'Owenby' Murphy. 1 put Owenby in apostrophes because the story is that she was not the daughter of W. A. B. Murphy, but that he was paid to many her mother Zilla Owenby when Zilla discovered she was in the family way by a married man named 'Squire' Tom Ledbetter. How much of this is true, 1 do not know. It was told and retold throughout the family. W. A. B. Muiphy was supposed to have had a son by another woman. The boy was named James Fagan. So Zilla and W. A. B. started off married life with children by someone other than their spouse. Hummm!

Zeb's sister Dora Adelia Dalton wrote a short 2 V2 page memoir ofsome ofthe Daltons. This memoir came to me from the son of my grandmother's sister Letty Frady of Bills Creek. 231 ESWAU HUPPEDAY. Vol. XXIV. No.4

Memories of Dara Dalton Owenby 92 on Sep 5 1966

"Alfred and Mary Dalton moved from Cedar Creek Rutherford Co., NC to Bald Mountain in March 1882. Their daughter Jane Dalton Nanney lived in the old Dalton Homestead a few years. Zeb Dalton being single at that time stayed on with them. Zeb married Julie Elliott that year 1882. The Nanneys moved to Bald Mountain the next year 1883. Zeb lived on at the Old Homestead where Charlie Dalton was bom. Charlie being the second child. The first bom dying at birth and buried at Stone Mountain church yard.

"Zeb Dalton moved to Bald Mountain in the fall of 1884 and settled in the Old Log house at the Old Mill and Shoal where Lewis Davis now owns. Here Carrie Dalton Hall was bom. Later Zeb moved back to Cedar Creek living one year on his Father in Law (Jonse Elliotts) place.

"He moved back to Bald Mountain the next year living in a house a few hundred feet from the Bald Mountain Church or where it now stands. Here Lettie and Odie were bom. Here Charlie had a little black dog named "Punches" he thought the world off. A big old cur dog belonging to a neighbor killed Little "Punches". Charlie was heart broken. He built a pen out of Chestnut rails around his grave which was there over 25 years later. Zeb then bought the place over near Bobs Gap still known as the "Zeb Place". Here Winnie was bom (1900). Here Zebs wife Julie died (1901). Later Zeb sold this place to his mother Mary C. Dalton(Granny Kate) and in the fall of 1906 moved to Purkins To\vn(Chimney Rock). Charlie having married moved some time earlier that year to Chimney Rock. Zeb went to work at Black Mountain in 1907 working different jobs and here while waiting for a train to go to a job, Lost his life by being struck by a shifting engine. This happened Sep 17,1907. By coincidence his wife Julia died six years before on Sep 17 1901."

Zeb owned a violin which belonged to W. A. B. Murphy. Family tradition says that W. A. B.joined the navy at age 15 and served 10 years. While he was serving in the Navy an officer gave Brutus the violin. Zeb leamed to play it from an old German man in the area who wanted Zeb's parents to send him to Europe to study music. He could play all kinds of music. The violin descended through Zeb's oldest cliild..

Alfred Anderson Dalton was the son of David and Rutha Davis Dalton. David was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Dalton. Thomas was the son of David Dalton, Sr. and an unknown spouse. Rutha Davis was the daughter of Meshack and Lydia Bentley Davis. Elizabeth Morris was the daughter of John and Martha Powell Morris. John Morris may have been killed at the .

/. y, to the British Cause openly, and [illegible] covertly, waiting only for the approach of the British army to act out their preference, on the one hand, and on the other, the Cherokee Indians seperated [illeg.] by the Blue ridge, distant only about 18 or twenty miles from my residence. In this situation, it became necessary to attach myself to the one or the other part at once. The vicinity of the Indians and the expectation ofthe approach of the British gave Spirit to the tories as they were then called, and brought into action almost the entire physical force ofthe Country. 1 attached myself after the example of my brothers to the Whig side, and joined a coinpany of Horsemen under the command of Capt, Adam Hampton ofthe regular Militia of this state and thing, whose commission was afterw^ds taken by the British under Fergerson amongsit other plunder from the house of Capt Alexr. McFaddens, which they threatened to bum,he at the time being in it in bed sick, Capt Hamptpns Company under the superior Command of col. Andrew Hampton was stationed or garrisoned at Pott's Station, Russells Station, and Waddleton's Station all in this county. At the last of which I was at the time it was attacked by a body of Indians and Tories; we made good our defence and the enemy withdrew, but being of two Superior force we did not dare to follow them out for battle.— I served a tour of three months in the service and was discharged, without any written evidence of it however, and came home to my Mothers. Upon arriving at home [illeg];confusion and alarm existed in the county, occasioned by the arrival of Ferguson who was then encamped in two miles of my mothers with his army. The company of Capt Hampton was immediately raised and called on again to assist in the distraction of Fergersons army. We followed on his rear cutting off His scouts and foiaging parties till information was received ofthe approach of assistence from the west; we then passed Fergersons army and marched to meet our expected help which we did not do until we marched over the Yellow Mountain where we met a considerable force under Command of Col. Sevier. The army then marched on toward this county to meet Fergerson who, in the mean time had been met near the borders of Burke County by probably some troops from that county, and after a sharp skirmish had returned or retreated back towards South Carolina; Upon reaching my neighborhood, my time being expired I have over the pursuit and stopped; after a Service ofthree months, which as well as I can recollect was in the month of September 1780 on reaching home I found much confusion produced by the energy of the Tories and Indims who had become both on account of the presence and half which they relied upon from Ferguson and his army. Capt. John McClain an officer ofthis state and a valuable man and Whig, was indeavoring to raise a force under the command and order of his superior officers Col. Robert Porter to attack and dispose them. I joined him as a volunteer- and served a tour of three months at the stations above named and had much difficulty with the Indians — this service terminated sometime in January or February 1781. I cannot distinctly give the day, but remember well of being in the garrison at Waddletons when information came there ofthe defeat of Tarleton at Cowpens by Morgan. Not being able to state the tinie when my last tour expired [illeg] I am unable to state of what day My fourth [illeg] at tour comminced, but am certain that it was very close upon the end ofthe third tour. The Indians, the open and known ally of the British, aided by the Tories yet seeking the ?watteiy? ofthe coimtry it was indespensible to prevent it, to keep constantly on foot, an adequate organized force. Captain McClain therefore, under command of Col. James Miller 134 ESWAU HUPPEDAY. Vol. XXV.No 3

was endeavoring to raise a Company. I being young and ardent, and as in all my past service, disdaining to be called out by the compulsory process of a draft, and still [illeg] to loss ofthe [illeg] of my Country, against volunteers for these months, q large portion of which time I spend in garrison at Waddletons(miscalled Waddles Fort in my original declaration) and Russell's station, and was once marched out to the line of So. Carolina and back, the object of which if I then knew,I have now forgotten.— This service, four tours of three months each, makes all together twelve months, though I served a longer time, for which Task a pension — it was performed in 1781 and 1782. The Revolutionary warfare of this portion ofthe Country was peculiant in it circumstances. Immediately in the vicinity of the British Indian ally, having a large portion of the whites disaffected to the Whig cause, it was necessary to keep the Whigs in almost constant action, and gives to the history oftheir services something of a vagrant or desultory character — owing as before stated to the fact that it was at home and amongst our own people that our services were performed and required by [illeg] the superior officers ofthe State, who were then in active service. . .
