    • SAMUEL DALTON, COMMISSIONER.
    • By Otis G. Hammond, Concord, N. H.
  • Samuel Dalton was of Hampton, N. H., the son of Philemon and Dorothy Dalton, and was born in 1629. He married Mehitable, daughter of Henry Palmer of Haverhill, Mass., and died Aug. 22. 1681.
  • These are the primary facts of life and death of the scribe of an old volume now in the possession of the state of New Hampshire, and deposited in the custody of the secretary of the state. From 1775, when the provincial records were removed from Portsmouth for greater safety from the enemy by sea, until 1899 it rested in "ye antient toune" of Exeter, where it was considered as a part of the court records of the province of Ne Hampshire, and was .... etc.
  • Pg.168
  • .... For the last nineteen years of his life, beginning at the early age of thirty-three, he seems to have done little else than hold public office. He apparently inherited this tendency from his father, with the old homestead, for we read in the Massachusetts Bay colonial records, May 14, 1645, "Philemon Dalton hath authority to see people marry at Hampton," and again, June 18, 1645, "Philemon Dalton, at ye request of ye towne of Hampton, is authorized & appointed by this Courte to marrye there such as are dewly published acording to lawe."
  • .... etc.
  • Pg.169
  • Samuell Dalton is appointed to solemnize marriage there betweene persons published according to lawe." Misfortune, as well, attended his earliest appearance in a legislative body, for, on the same day, May 7, 1662, "Mr. Sam Dalton, deputy for Hampton, having an aged father, since his coming to this Court, daingerously, if not mortally wounded, by the fall of a tree, desiring ye favor of this Court, is dismissed his attendance at this session." His father died from his injury June 4, following.
  • .... etc.
  • Pg.170
  • .... He remained in the council until his death, Aug. 22, 1681, and Sept. 6, following, Anthony Nutter, of Dover, was nominated to the king for appointment in his stead.
  • Had Squire Dalton been spared to a green old age, for he was only fifty-two, doubtless greater honors would have fallen to him, and perhaps, furthur light would have been thrown on the history and genealogy of the early settlers of old Norfolk County. _______________
