Biography

Edward Dalton was born in New Brunswick, Canada.

Edward Dalton was a ship carpenter.

He first appears in records with his marriage^[2] to Lucy West at Hantsport, Nova Scotia on May 29, 1864.

The couple had 3 children:

• Lewis Edward ^[3]Dalton - 1864-1899
• Margaret Dalton^[4]- 1867-1931
• Flora Aileen Dalton^[5]- 1869-1948

Lucy died in April of 1873 ^[6] and he remarried shortly after on September 2, 1873 to Hannah Davidson.^[7]

It was a second marriage for both, as Hannah's first husband, Thomas Taylor, had died in 1871 leaving her raise their son alone.

To this union, they added another son, Judson Frederick in 1875. ^[8] She died before 1881 as Edward remarried for the third time to Margaret Ann Conlon on September 21, 1881.^[9]

It was a second marriage for Margaret, widowed in 1876 from John Farrell with 5 sons.

Edward ran the hotel called "American House"^[10] in Hantsport. He either fell off the wharf or jumped off - nobody knew which but in any event, he drowned one day about noon.^[11]

Edward died in 1909^[12] and is buried at Riverbank Cemetery^[13] in Hanstport with his first wife, Lucy.
