John Dalton

M, ID# 446, b. 25 July 1825, d. 2 September 1909

John Dalton's tombstone, Center City Cemetery, Center City, Tex., courtesy of Dana Williams.
  • Note*: He came to Texas in 1845 and raised livestock and farmed. A son, John Wesley Dalton, believed that John Dalton "left the mountains of Wayne County, Kentucky, when young and landed in Peter's Colony about the time the Naudain family did," which he thought to be 1832. He furnished supplies to the U.S. Army in the Mexican War. John and Rebecca lived in a Norwegian colony in Bosque County and then at Sugar Loaf Mountain in Bell County, where Indians killed their neighbor, Young Pierce. In 1863 they moved by ox wagon to Wallace Creek in San Saba County, Texas. Indians were so troublesome there that in the fall of 1869 the family moved "near the Mill Pond" in San Saba County. A few years later, still threatened by Indians, they moved further east, to Red Bluff, on the west bank of the Colorado River in San Saba County. Believing Indian troubles had ended, the family moved west to Shackelford County, to near Ft. Griffin in 1877 and to Deep Creek, near present Moran, in 1878. After a hard winter and a dry 1879, John and Rebecca moved to Hamilton County, where they farmed on Spring Branch the rest of their lives. His grave marker gives a death date of 21 Sep 1909.10,3,9
