Who was Matthew Alton?

susannealton56 — 20 Nov 2008 10:53:51 GMT

My husband's great grandfather was Matthew Alton (b. 1829 d. 1914)married to Eliza Mary Downing in Lee County, Iowa; moved to Parsons(St. Paul), Kansas. He emigrated through New Orleans with his mother and a few brothers. Who were these brothers from Ireland? The story is that his mother and several brothers settled near Keokuk, Iowas and he living with his mother until her death. We don't know the mother's name or the brothers' names. Then the story continues that Matthew, Eliza, Lucy 1yr old, went down by steamboat to Osage Mission, Kansas.

Mrs. Alton of Raber, Michigan in 1891

July 4, 1891 Page 1
Married Man and Married Woman Skip

Edward Johnson , a clerk in the Feltus store, eloped the other day with Mrs. Odeta Alton, the wife of an honest, hardworking man, Johnson left a wife and three or four children almost destitute. Mrs. Alton had no children. The affair has been the talk of the country round about Raber. Johnson was well known in the Soo and his bad behaviour surprises some.

I am not related to this family, just passing on this information which comes from a webpage called "Marriage Notices, Jan. 1891 - Dec. 1893." The link for the site is listed below.

Altons from the Glasgow area

hdeans_1 — 21 Oct 2005 6:39:25 GMT

My grandfather was John Alton, born in Glasgow in 1902 to John Alton and Jean McMichael or Carmichael. He had 6 brothers and sisters, but unfortunately the family was split up(not sure why). I know that Jean remarried William Birkett and had a daughter named Martha. Does anyone have information on this side of the Alton family? I know the information is sketchy and I don't even know all the siblings names except for Agnes, Janet and Peter. Peter went to Canada. I thnk there may have been a James somewhere. I believe that my great grandfather was from the Carnwath area in Lanarkshire.

I found a marriage record for Harry H. and Verda Wade, Bannock County, Idaho - they married 10 Sep 1927. On the "Donavan Eastman" Rootsweb family Submission Record I note that he has Harry Hamilton Alton married to Allie Uvah Morgan in 1940 in Twin Falls, Idaho. Donavan's material indicates that there is a living child for Harry and Uvah. June Boyer could have been married to a Mr. Haken. She had one daughter Virginia (surname unknown) who also died in Sacramento, California. Her married name was Virginia Paulitz.

Ruttle Connection

HarryDulmage97 — 29 Aug 2001 12:48:51 GMT

Agnes Alton 's husband, Daniel Alton died in Ireland in 1847. She emmigrated to Canada (Lucknow, Ontario area) in 1847 with 7 or 9 children.
Does anyone know where she fits into the Ruttle (Ruckle ) family tree ?It is probable that she came from Ballingraine, Limerick County, Ireland.She would probably have been a descendant of Caspar Roeckle, who was one of the Palintine refugees who settled on Lord Southwells estate in 1709.However there seems to be no mention of her parents anywhere.
My interest is double. I married Roy Alton's (one of Agnes' descendants)widow and Caspar Roeckle (Ruttle) was one of MY Palantine ancestors.
