Sources
- ↑ John's death certificate states that he was born 8 April 1850 in West Virginia to David Dayton and "Feeby Bausley." The informant was his son, Joe E. Dayton. The year is probably incorrect. John's marriage record implies that he was born circa 1853 and provides his county of birth. The 1860 census confirms the age in the marriage record.
