(Judging by the 1880 census, three daughters have been collapsed into one here. This listing is taken from the Carroll Co. VAGenWeb site; I have not checked the microfilm and don’t know whether the error is in the transcription or the original.)

Notes for William & Sarah “Sally” (Family)
There was also a William Dalton born ca 1826 who married Sarah Jennings born 1832; care must be taken not to confuse these two William & Sarah Dalton families.
