from Millicent Craig The March 2000 issue of "Daltons in History", Vol. 3, No. 3, contains an article, "Researching in County Clare". In that issue there is extensive information on the Daltons of Bunratty, Woodpark and Deerpark. With that research in hand you will be able to make the connection with Michael Dalton, Esq. and his beneficiaries, and guage the wealth and extensive landholdings of this family. This Will was difficult to transcribe and a few sections are unreadable. Prerogative Will of Michael Dalton, Esquire, 1796 "Hoping for his very forgiveness and thanks be unto God, being in
good health, sound reason I do make public and declare this my last will
and testament hereby revoking all former wills whatsoever made by me.
First I bequeath my soul to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The following, apparently a codocil to the will, was difficult to transcribe and some words are missing. It makes it plain that lands are to remain with his descendents. October 30th 1709 with one acre of land...... I hold rent free to tenants for their lives in the lands of Balnahane in said barony and county Clongola held by lease from the late Joseph Wilson all lying in the lands of Tulla, Co. Clare Bleanlaga and Ballymacky. I hold by lease of leases renewable for ever from George Stackpool, Esq. London .... lands in Crohaine, Co. Clare together with Donogan West and all rents, notes and bonds due to me or any other security money whatsoever with all cash, plate, furniture, stock , etc. and I do leave to my said son Michael Dalton forever on the following conditions first paying all my lawful debts and the ......and his brother Charles Minchin Dalton's fortune together with a furniture (?) of 60 pounds and he is to leave his wife Alicia Dalton (nee?) Bowerman if she shall survive him by his equal payments which 60 pounds she is to be in full of all dowry or thereto or for any sum he before settled upon her by an article or writing whatsoever and wherever, the widow or any other person claiming a fortune out of the pounds left me by my father in his will are no debt of mine. To the lands of Moyglassmore, Moyglassbeg and Lorieory this claim is which I imagine she or her heirs have no right to my lands and my son Michael is not to pay as it is no debt of mine. I do appoint my son Michael Dalton my executor and no other to my last will and testament. 2 Nov. 1792 Michael Dalton X Edward Healy, Bart Heaston, Thomas Healy and Richard Bowerman. Codicil and whereas the lands of Carrinagry, Moyglassmore and Moyglassbeg
in ..... and lands in Crohaine, County Clare I will revert back to my
heirs if my son Edward Dalton has no lawfully begotten son then I bequeath
the lands to my son Michael and after to my grandson Michael should son
Michael Dalton die. Editor's note. The Dalton Genealogical Society Journal, Vol.10, part 1, 1981 carried a brief article submitted by a member in Wisconsin. It noted that an Elizabeth Doulton married a Francis Minchin at Cogges, Oxfordshire in 1691. Could this be a connection to Edward Dalton? |

In view of the increasing number of publications that the DGS is making available to members and non-members alike, it is well to remind readers of DGS policy concerning copyright. In 1970, when the DGS was founded by Michael Neale Dalton and the first Journal was published, the traditional copyright policies of the world were at issue triggered by the development of the Xerox copy machine in the 1960's. After a flurry of legal activity, the protection of an author's work was assured under the Federal copyright law of the US. Technology advancements continued to deliver new means of copying; tapes, VCRs, computers, disks, scanners, etc. And new agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation were called upon to enforce certain aspects of the law such as the copying of commercial movies that were made for home viewing. Copyright policy has remained constant over the 30 years of publishing the DGS Journal and other DGS genealogical-related material. If a member wishes to copy an article from a DGS publication, permission must be requested from the Executive Secretary, Dr. Lucy J. Slater. In virtually all cases, permission has been granted for the use of an abstract of the desired article. An abstract is limited to 10% of the text of the original and proper acknowledgement is to be given to the DGS. Talks or speeches that have been prepared by a DGS committee member are also subject to permission for use which is generally granted, including posting on a members web site. In view of the tightening restrictions and landmark court cases relating to computer violation of copyright, the policies of the DGS may be considered to be fairly liberal. It is the intention of the DGS to make genealogical information as widely available as possible while still respecting the policy of the Society, its contributors and members. |
