  • Notes 
    • On 15 April 1635, "Philemon Dalton," linenweaver, aged 45, "uxor Hanna Dalton," aged 35, "Samuel Dalton," aged 5Ѕ, and "W[illia]m White," aged 14, apparently a servant, were enrolled at London for passage to New England on the Increase.

      Philemon Dalton was granted twelve acres of land by the town of Dedham on 18 August 1636 [5] and was among those who petitioned the general court in November 1636 to expand the land grant at Dedham.[2] Philemon Dalton was a signer of the Dedham town covenant, attended all eight of the Dedham town meetings held in Watertown in late 1636 and early 1637, and was also present at the first town meeting actually held in Dedham on 23 March 1637 .
      -----
      ORIGIN: Dennington, Suffolk. MIGRATION: 1635 on the Increase.
      FIRST RESIDENCE: Watertown. REMOVES: Dedham 1637, Hampton 1639.
      BIRTH: About 1590 (aged 45 in 1635 [Hotten 65]), s/o George Dalton of Dennington, Suffolk [NEHGR 154:281].
      DEATH: Hampton 4 June 1662, "brother to the said Teacher Mr. [Timothy] Dalton" [HampVR 1:114, 558]. On 7 May 1662, "Mr. Sam[uel] Dalton, deputy for Hampton, having an aged father, since his coming to this court, dangerously, if not mortally, wounded, by the fall of a tree, desiring the favor of this court, is dismissed his attendance at this session" [MBCR 4:2:44]. (It has been said that Philemon Dalton died at Ipswich [GDMNH 180; Pope 129; Savage 2:3], but his death is not recorded there. The injury which led to his death occurred a full month before his death, and, even if the injury did happen elsewhere, he probably returned home to die at Hampton.) [1, 2]
