THE VILLAGE OF DALTON

The village of Dalton has its actual beginning in 1850 when Dr. John W. Bryan established a store and postoffice northeast of the present village, across Elevenpoint River. This postoffice was called Spring Creek.

William Dalton, who lived in the community, bought the business and moved across the river. Here he secured an office which he called Dalton. This was about 1870. He was the father of James L. Dalton whose history sketch is included in this book.

Lewis Dalton, a brother of William, had already located in this vicinity, where he had married Sarah A., daughter of Fielding Stubblefield, one of the first settlers on Elevenpoint River, coming here with his parents about 1812.

After the death of William in 1870, Lewis became postmaster. He held the office several years and was succeeded by his son, Elijah. After operating the store and office several years, Elijah sold out to A. N. Kirkpatrick, who was a merchant and postmaster here many years. After the latter’s death the office has been operated by his daughter, Mrs. Basil Barnett, and at present by Earl James.

A. N. and H. T. Kirkpatrick operated stores here and at Elm Store many years.

During the early days of the town Lewis Dalton operated a saw and grist mill, and also a cotton gin, which caused the town to become an important inland trading point from the close of the Civil War for many years.

The cotton gin was discontinued in a few years, due to the fact that the farmers in this section saw the advantage of stock-raising over cotton farming.

As has been stated in another section of this book, this is one of the oldest settled communities in the county. Members of the Wells, Looney, Garrett, McIlroy, Vandergriff and Stubblefield families settled here soon after 1800.

Others who came here soon after were the Davis, Baker, Rice, Brown, White, Nettles families.

Coleman Stubblefield, from this community, was a member of the old Lawrence County legislature in 1829.

William Stubblefield was a juror of the first term of court held in Lawrence County, in 1815.

Dr. J. W. Dalton came to this community from Missouri about 1875 and married Ascenith, the daughter of Lewis Dalton, and for many years was one of the leading physicians of this section.

There has been a number of persons in the mercantile business here during the years. Among them have been William T. McIlroy, members of the Stubblefield and Looney families, besides those named above. Others later are John Whittenberg, Rufe Woolridge, Joe T. Wilson, Earl James and others.

This is one of the substantial communities in the hill section of the county.^[2]
