| Exclusive Interview with Audrey Dalton. About This Report. The Ancestry of Emmet Dalton James Dalton was born in Galmoy Barony, County Kilkenny in 1807 and married Onny Cody. Audrey's great grandfather was Martin Dalton born in Galmoy, County Kilkenny in 1839. He married Elizabeth Walsh born 1846 who was from Queens County (now County Laois), Ireland. The marriage took place in Providence, Rhode Ireland in 1866. Audrey's grandfather, James Francis Dalton, was born on July 8, 1868 in Oniville, Rhode Island and was baptized at St. Mary's Church, Providence, Rhode Island. His first wife was Bridget Heffernon who died; second wife was Katherine Lee Riley. They were married in Somerset, MA in 1897. James Emmet Dalton, known as Emmet, was born in Fall River, MA on March 4,1898 and died March 4, 1978 at 80 years of age in Dublin. James Francis Dalton, Audrey's grandfather, emigrated from America to Hanover, Germany in 1900. There he ran a laundry for a short time before seeking greener pastures in Ireland. When he was settled in Dublin, he sent for his wife, Katherine, baby Emmet and a son from his first marriage, Martin Joseph Dalton. Katherine and James Francis Dalton had six more children while living in Dublin. They are: Charles, born 1903 and died in 1973; Eileen, born 1906, died 1915; Brendan, born 1909, died 1997/8; Nuala (a nun), born 1913, died 1989; Deidre born 1916 and living in Westwood, Mass; Dermot, born in 1919 and died 1970's. Martin Joseph Dalton, stepbrother to Emmet, went on to be a scholar of note at Trinity College, Dublin. All of the family, except Charles and Emmet, returned to America in the 1930's. During his lifetime, Emmet's father was known as "The Sir" and his last employment was with the S. S. Pierce Company in Boston, MA. Emmet's father was the proprietor of a laundry and the family lived in a middle class section of Dublin. Men who were to become important in Ireland's history, were frequent visitors to their home. "The Sir" believed in the education of his children and although American born, he had a passion for Ireland's independence which was passed on to his children, especially to Emmet and Charles. Emmet was named after the Irish patriot, Robert Emmet, who was killed in 1803. An English Army Officer Major General in the Irish Army. General Dalton Eamon DeValera had become the First Minister and President of the Dail (Parliament), in the Provincial government set up under British rule. De Valera named Collins, then 30 years of age, and Arthur Griffiths (later to become President of Ireland) to negotiate the Treaty (Irish Free State) with such formidable men as David Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Lord Birkenhead and Austen Chamberlain. Emmet accompanied Collins to London and the negotiations began on October 11, 1921. At one point the negotiations became critical and Emmet arranged with Canadian friends to have a plane ready to spirit Collins back to Dublin in the event that the prevailing truce failed. The Treaty Agreement resulted in the partition of Ireland but was ratified by the people of Ireland in a formal vote. Those who did not accept the Agreement sought to overthrow it by force, hence a Civil War in Ireland followed. Irregulars (as opposed to Army regulars) burned the Records Office in Dublin in May 1922, and in June 1922 had seized the Four Courts. Emmet was in charge of the bombardment of the buildings which signalled the beginning of the Civil War. (This was the event that destroyed Ireland's Censuses and vital information so crucially needed in genealogical studies). Factions split over the Treaty and warring commenced against Collins whom some saw as a traitor to the Cause. On a trip home to Cork to visit his mother, Collins was escorted by a small group of military men, including Emmet. It was at Beal-na-Blath that the group was ambushed by a group of irregulars. Not heeding Emmet's advice to speed quickly ahead, Collins chose to stand and fight. He was shot, Emmet carried him to the armored tank and he died on Emmet's shoulder. In 1923, Emmet left the National Army. Emmet's Private Life The children of Emmet Dalton and Alice Shannon Dalton are as follows: After the Irish Free State was formed in 1922, Emmet was appointed the First Clerk of Seanad Eireann (the Irish Senate, the Upper House of the two houses in the Dail). He resigned after a short while partly because the conservative lifestyle was incompatible with his adventuresome spirit. He found a challenge in selling and marketed a wide variety of products including encyclopedias, weighing scales and Scotch whisky. Emmet had a lifetime interest in horse racing and for a few years owned a couple of horses himself. While serving as a salesman for Scotch whisky, he partnered with a man on the golf course who would change his life forever and offer him the challenges his spirit required. At the time, Emmet was Honorary Secretary of the Hermitage Golf Club in Dublin. The Movie Industry Emmet returned to Ireland and with partners, purchased the Ardmore mansion
in Bray, Wicklow. From 1965 to 1971, he visited and enjoyed his Californian grandchildren where his dry humor was well appreciated. He lived a full and rich life but seldom spoke about his accomplishments. Emmet's wife died while the family was living in London and she was buried at Glasnevin Cemetery, Ireland in 1957. Emmet lived to age 80 (1978) and at the request of the Irish government, Emmet was given a full ceremonial military funeral with honors. He is buried in Dublin with his friends of the Irish Cause, Collins and Griffiths. In 1977/78, a documentary of Emmet's life was made. It was aired for the first time on Radio Telifis Eirann, the National Irish television station, on the evening of Emmet's funeral in 1978.
One of the most popular books is that by Tim Pat Coogan, "The Man Who Made Ireland". In 1995, Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts starred in the movie story of Michael Collins. Written by Charles Dalton was "With the Dublin Brigade", a rare book today. Our sincere appreciation is extended to Audrey Dalton for unstintingly providing her family information and clippings from The Empire and Sunday Chronicle. Audrey highly recommends Carlton Younger's, "Ireland's Civil War", publishd by Frederick Muller, Ltd. London. A forthcoming "Daltons in History" will contain a cameo of Audrey's career. |
