NEVADA |
Nevada is the seventh largest state in size but has next to the smallest population. Our Daltons rushed in as prospectors after the discovery of the Comstock lode in Virginia City (1859), an area rich in gold and silver. They came from Ireland, England, Canada, Louisana and as far away as Vermont.
Fortunes were made and lost overnight as indicated by a Dalton obituary below. Our earliest recorded Dalton date is 1864 (marriage) but it is quite likely that Daltons were present several years prior. The land grants below also indicate Dalton marriage into the Paiute Indian tribe. The data base is small and contains about 135 surname entries.We welcome any additional input from our readers.
