Biography

The New England Historical & Gene. Register, Vol. 154, July 2000 has an article The Dalton Cluster: Timothy Dalton, Philemon Dalton, Richard Everard, and Deborah (Everard)Blake p.259[1] The Rev.Timothy Dalton was the son of George Dalton, Timothy Dalton was born 1577, and died in Hampton, New Hampshire, 28 Dec 1661. He married Ruth Leete on 13 Sept 1615. Timothy and Ruth had 4 children, Ruth, Samuel (died in Woolverstone), Deborah Dalton, bp. 3 July 1619; buried in Woolverstone 9 May 1624, and Timothy Dalton died in Hampton, N>H> in 1662 unmrd. Rev. Dalton had a sister, Sarah Dalton that married Richard Everard 24 Sept 1623 in Woolverstone, Suffolk. Sarah died in England and Richard went to America with his brothers, Timothy and Philemon Dalton.

The Dalton's and Everard settled in Hampton, New Hampshire. Deborah Everard is the woman that married Jasper Blake not Deborah Dalton. Most, if not all, of Richard Everard's family came to America and settled in Dedham. Deborah Everard and Jasper Blake had 11 children before Deborah died in Hampton, 20 Dec 1678. The family all used the same names - Timothy, Philemon, Israel, Samuel, John.

The is a paragraph from the article.[1]

"Unlike most immigrant families from this era, there are many records of the Daltons, in both New England and Old. We interpret the marriage records for Timothy Dalton in 1615 to the 36 year old Ruth Leete and Philemon Dalton in 1625 to 25 year old Anne Cole, as well as the 1623 marriage of Sarah Dalton to 25 year old Richard Everard as belonging to nuclear family of three siblings. Further, the 1628 Woolverstone baptism of Sarah Dalton's daughter, Deborah Everard, provides the identy of the wife of Jaspaer Blake of Hampton. The Dalton's, Blakes, and Everard's were cousins in the modern sense, rahter than nephew.

This article has great genalogical information and history. The article referrs to Deborah going to America with her father and his second wife. Prior to her marriage she lived with her uncle, the Rev. Timothy Dalton. She was given a gift of land by Rev. Timothy Dalton to Jasper Blake, as described in Jasper's will, we know that Deborah received what must have been her marriage portion through her uncle. This very gift of land has been used by earlier writers as evidence to support the theory that Deborah was a daughter of Rev. Mr. Dalton."

Jasper's father may have been Jasper, born in Wimbotsham, England, in 1592. [13]

Disputed Family

Jasper's wife, Deborah, was presumed to be the sister of Rev. Timothy Philemon Dalton. This is not the same Deborah! He died January 5, 1674. She died December 20, 1678.

Section 6

DEBORAH BLAKE IN HAMPTON.

Of Deborah Blake, the alleged sister of Timothy and Philemon Dalton, we hear nothing until 1649, when her first child, Timothy, was born in Hampton. The town books then describe her as the wife of Jasper Blake.[1] She must have been a young woman at that time, having had eleven children afterward. She died at Hampton, December 20, 1678.

As her name does not appear in the passenger-list of the Increase, by which ship Philemon Dalton and his little family came to New England in 1635, it seems probable that she accompanied the clergyman in either 1636 or 1637. This is, of course, based upon the assumption that she was a Dalton. Mr. Dow writes that she "is said to have been a sister of Rev. Timothy and Mr. Philemon Dalton. Certain it is that she was their relative."[2] Mr. Dow's daughter kindly advises us in a private letter: "My father was satisfied that Deborah Blake was a sister of the Daltons; but he was too careful to assert it without authority." For ourself, we accept unhesitatingly the ancient tradition that she was their sister. There is no good reason for doubting it, and there is some strong circumstantial testimony in its favor.

Among her twelve children were five with Dalton names, to wit: Timothy, Philemon, Samuel, Dorothy, and Deborah. No similar coincidence is to be found in any other Hampton household of that date. Again, the minister had a daughter Deborah in England, who was born in 1619, and who died in 1624. Thirdly, the minister, in 1567, divided his Hampton farm equally between Deborah Blake's husband and two of Mrs. Dalton's kinsmen. Lastly, the will of Jasper Blake,[3] made in 1673, appoints "my cosen [nephew?]. Mr. Samuel Dalton," to be the "overseer" in the settlement of the estate, precisely as the minister had given a pecuniary legacy to "my loving Cosson [nephew] Samuel Dalton"; and his widow, a trunk to the son of the same "cosen [nephew] Samuel Dalton."

No conclusion shall be drawn from the widow's neglect to make testamentary or other provisions for the Blakes. Her liberality seems to have been confined to her own family and friends. Nothing was given by her to any Dalton, except the above mentioned trunk to her grandnephew; and that meager legacy narrowly escaped being an afterthought. The omission of the name "Ruth" in the baptismal list of the Blake children is suggestive; and especially when we remember that Philemon's second wife, Dorothy, had been honored in that manner. Perchance there was a vulgar quarrel between the sisters-in-law, Ruth and Deborah, dating back to the years of Deborah's childhood, as we firmly believe, she was a member of the minister's family in his English parsonage.

• 1. Jasper Blake, of Hampton, is described as a "seaman," and again as a "fisherman". Except his unusual name, there is nothing to connect him with the Wimbotsham family of Norfolk. -- Visitation of Norfolk, ii, I.
• 2. Dow's History of Hampton, 602.
• 3. A Booke of Records for the County of Northefolk in New England, II, ii, 490.
