Cash for 1 barrel of corn for the widow and children was paid on July 24, 1776 (so the widow was alive at that time).

Research Notes:
John Dalton is listed here as a son because among the dna matches of Robert Wolfe there are several descendants of John Dalton who have dna matches with descendants of other children and ancestors of Timothy Dalton. We know of no direct evidence that John Dalton was a son of Timothy, other than coincidence of time and place and that a John Dalton was named in the estate account of Timothy Dalton. We seek other documentation or dna evidence about this potential relationship.
