DALTONS

Note: History shows that Thomas Dalton, born in 1829, grandfather of Harry Dalton, was visited by the Dalton gang from Coffeyville, Kansas shortly before the Coffeyvile bank robbery attempt. He threw them off his property when he heard what they were planning. Except for Emmett Dalton, they were all killed at Coffeyville attempting to rob two banks at the same time.
