Hi Don!

Yes, your family is also from the Rutherford County Daltons. I have quite a bit of information, but don't have any on Lewis Harrison Dalton's children & only had Martha as his wife, so I updated that from your info. I would love to share what I have & to see what you have.

Elijah's father was William Dalton, eldest son of David Dalton, who settled with his family in Rutherford County, NC in the late 1700's. They were one of the earliest families to settle in that area & lived in Albemarle County, VA before that. William's brother Thomas is my direct line. There's a lot of history in the Rutherford County area (where I came from)!

Anyway, I don't know how much I can post on this, but I copied what I have on Elijah & his family, in particular & I'll try to paste here what it will allow. If you'd like the entire file I have, just send me your email & I'll send you a copy. I also have several old family photos of David Dalton descendants I will share. Here's the info I have on Elijah's family:
