Barton was less than one year old and born in Alabama. This Census is correct with Jack being born in Georgia and Dealey in South Carolina. Jack was 22 and Dealey was 23. They lived next door to Delila's father, William Pennington and her mother, Isabella. James Petty also lived close by with his wife Zephroney and his one year old Nontorey.[1]
- 1860 Census Delila (Dealey) was still living in Fayette, Alabama. Her husband was now deceased and she was still living next door to her dad, William Pennington. Her children, Barton 10 and Martin 6 were living with her. This census shows that she worked as a seamstress. She was 30 years old. This family was also living very close to the Tackett's.[2]

Note: In the 1880 Census where Delilah was living with her son and daughter-in-law, it shows that she was born in North Carolina.
On Petty Papers it lists her as Delia Vail.
