I may be able to help with going back a little further than William Alton, and also on the names of some of the Bayliss children. If you're watching other posts, you'll know that we are related. Do get in touch.

Re: Who was Matthew Alton?

susannealton56 — 2009-04-07 04:59:38Z

Well, I finally found out who the brothers were with some thorough investigation on the internet. In the 1852 Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa census the three brothers were listed: James Alton, Charles Alton and Matthew Alton. James Alton was a blacksmith. They all had the same immigration date of 1851 and all had parents from Ireland. --plan to visit the Keokuk area to find gravesites next! Anyone have any suggestions?

amy_alton — 2008-12-29 17:37:15Z

Do you have any other info on John Alton? My grandfather was John Alton and I have two very old pictures of women that have handwritten on the the backs " my girlfriend". He was born in 1906 and apparently was quite the ladies man. I know he traveled alot and did varies jobs until he settled down around 1940. Maybe one of these pictures is her? I will check the back again and see if there is a name? I could also scan the pics and send them to you. Maybe you will recognize the girls? They were very pretty ( alot prettier then my grandmother..lol!).

Hi I am trying to locate living relatives of my late Grandfather Owen James Alton, bn in Derbyshire. He Married Helen Anderson (from Derry in Northern Ireland) and served as RSM in the 1st Bn Royal Warwickshire Regt between 1939-1945. All I know is that he saw service in Burma.
He left the 1st Bn and went off to the home guard in Derry (where he met my Gran)and served there under Col Sir Basil McFarland.
If you think you may be related please email me at either sarahpitt868@btinternet.com or veedubbin@btinternet.com

Who was Matthew Alton?

susannealton56 — 2008-11-20 22:53:51Z

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.

Re: Rose Alton of Ohio

CarlaRameyGray — 2008-06-23 19:35:14Z

No, it is her married name. I do not know what her husbands name is either. We have a tin-type photo that has been zeroxed for my records. It shows her with her husband and it just lists her as cousin Rose. We are all going by names scibbled on these photos. It all runs into the same family name "Immel".They are all located in the Galloway - Columbus Ohio area. So any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Please give some dates and locations for these people and the names of their wives. With more info I can look on the census for you.

Mrs. Alton of Raber, Michigan in 1891

BasketLady420 — 2008-02-18 05:16:46Z

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.

Re: John Alton

stubbsy — 2007-11-22 01:09:22Z

I have now got the Alton line further back through Christopher Alton born c.1725 Muker and James Alton born c.1684 at Muker.

Re: John Alton

stubbsy — 2007-11-22 00:35:39Z

What in particular are you after? My earliest Alton ancestor is Thomas Alton, Miner of Lodge Green, Gunnerside in Swaledale, born c.1770.

Re: John Alton

stubbsy — 2007-11-21 00:42:28Z

My grandmother was an Alton and my mother was a Milner. I have quite a bit of information on both families in Swaledale.

Cheers,

Re: William Alton, 1700, Marblehead, Massachusetts

amy_alton — 2007-11-20 05:04:45Z

Do you think they could be linked to John C Alton born 1841, who was father to William Thomas Alton born 1866, who was father to John Marion Alton born 1906?? All are from Tennesse or KY.

John Marion, William thomas,and John c Alton

amy_alton — 2007-11-20 04:55:32Z

I have started a family tree of Altons, however I am stuck on John C Alton. If anyone has info that would be great!!John Marion Alton is my grandfather. My Dad is John Thomas Alton.

Re: John Marion Alton

amy_alton — 2007-11-20 04:48:05Z

I have a new family tree "Alton Family tree". I cannot find any info on John H Alton either. My Dad is John Marion Alton's son. Your Grandfather and my grandfather are brothers! I too am trying to find info on John H Alton. It is very frustrating!

Re: John Alton

annemilner178 — 2008-01-15 13:50:12Z

what do you know of the Milners in Gunnerside?

We have a direct line to Edward Milner, miner, who was christened in Gunnerside in 1816. (I know of no siblings yet). He moved to Blackrod in Lancashire and dug coal instead of lead, and married Alice Crawson in 1837 in Bolton.

thanks

Re: John Alton

annemilner178 — 2008-01-16 08:28:36Z

thanks for that..... I think we might also have been corresponding on the Spendsley/swaledale site. I seem to have come againgst a brick wall for making any further progress, as there are too many possibilities! Edward was the son of a Thomas, but I can't prove any further back.

Re: William Alton, 1700, Marblehead, Massachusetts

GaryR48 — 2007-11-20 12:03:25Z

I would say it's quite possible, given that William Alton's line probably goes back to the earliest settlers of Massachusetts, making his line that of the first Altons in America. I haven't yet confirmed that, but I have dozens of such lines in Massachusetts, many of which extend back to medieval England, and I would expect the same with the Altons, though I haven't worked on that line in a while and haven't got it back that far yet. It's been my experience that the first families of America have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of descendants today, so, it's very probable your Altons come from this same line.

I am looking Rose Alton from around the Franklin Cty., Ohio area. She was a cousin of the Immil/Immel/Emil family as well as the Siebold>Davis>Smothers>Nasfger/Naskar families. We have some very old tin type photo's of a great deal of our family members wwith these names printed on them. Unfortunately, some of them we are not sure of the spelling's. We could use some help and would appreciate any & all help we can get. There are 4/5 of us still researching our family lines and appreciate any one who can lend a hand. Thank you in advance.

Sarah Alton b.1741

I am trying to find the parents of Sarah Alton b. 1741 in NJ. She married my revolutionary war ancestory John Cowdrick (also spelled Condrick and Coudrick on some records) in Burlington, NJ

Re: Sarah Alton b.1741

orangeskittle77 — 2007-12-20 23:26:02Z

I have, but the Sarah Alton and John Cowdrick genealogy begins with Sarah. Unless I have missed and updated report, I cannot find her parents. A secondary source on Ancestry.com has her father as Erasmus, however the NJ wills have Erasmus dying before her birth.

Re: John Alton

Milner_Stubbs — 2008-01-18 17:38:05Z

That must mean your grandmother was born at Hunwick - where my wife Kathy was born!

It really is a small world.

Re: John Alton

Milner_Stubbs — 2008-01-16 00:03:05Z

We have no Edward Milners but we have several Edmund Milners in our tree until the name died out when three died in quick succession in infancy.

However we will be related. The Milners were one of the 12 big clans of Swaledale for centuries until nearly all of them left the dale about 1870.

Some went to the mill towns, some turned from lead mining to coal mining and others emigrated.

Some of them were supposedly left money in a secret bequest by Mary Milner Bowes, a farm girl who became the Dowager Countess of Strathmore.

Re: John Alton

Milner_Stubbs — 2008-01-15 23:51:41Z

I have a John Alton born 17/11/1797 in Keld, possibly at Hartlakes, and baptised at Keld Independent (Congregationalist) Church 23/02/1802. He was the son of William and Elizabeth (nee Harker) and had siblings Nancy 1801, Sarah 1807 and James 1812.

Re: John Alton

Milner_Stubbs — 2008-01-16 11:36:48Z

I've done some detective work and I've found the marriage registered at Grinton of John Alton to "Ellen" Milner 27th September 1835.

Re: John Alton

Milner_Stubbs — 2008-01-18 02:30:30Z

Then as I understand it we are 4th or 5th cousins once removed!!! Our common ancestors are James and Mary Alton born c1684 at Muker in Swaledale.

However, from experience I bet we are closer relatives than that as all the Swaledale clans were inter related.

What are the links between you and Agnes?
