A reprinted "Pedigree of Dalton Family", compiled in 1889 based on research made between 1863 and 1866, claims that Walter Dalton (1552-1619) was the son of Roger Dalton, son of William and Jane (Townley) Dalton. This might be true, but several dates given in this pedigree do not match dates given in more reliable sources, raising questions about the reliability of this pedigree.
