Margret Matilda "Maggie" Dalton was the daughter of James Tandy Dalton 1862 – 1933 and Mary Emeline Jackson 1859 – 1936. Her many siblings were: William A. Dalton 1877; Nelson Dalton 1879 – 1879; Tilton Dalton 1884 – 1923; Fannie B. Dalton 1879; Margret Maggie Mary Dalton 1880 – 1961; Jincie A Dalton 1882 – 1970; Tilton Dalton 1884 – 1923; Mattie Dalton 1886 – 1977; Eve Dalton 1888 – 1977; Mary Dalton 1890 – 1900; John H Dalton 1891 – 1910; Pleasant Andrew Dalton 1894 – 1957; James Nathan Dalton 1897 – 1981 and Lacy Edward Dalton 1898 – 1977.

Tennessee State Marriages, reveal that Mary Dalton married Samuel Shockley on 11 Mar 1901 in Grainger Co., Tennessee. From this union the following known children were born: Ella M Shockley 1902; Verna May Shockley 1902; John T. Shockley 1905 – 1906; George Shockley 1908 and Tom Shockley 1910.

In the 1910 Census it was learned that Sam was a farmer, farming rented land in Civil District 2, Grainger, Tennessee. There was a young man living in the household listed as a servant, although his occupation was a farmer.

Web: Tennessee, Find A Grave Index, reveals that Samuel G. Shockley died at the age of 37, on 16 Apr 1916 and is buried in Grainger County, Tennessee. No other records reveal the cause of his untimely death.

April 16 was a sad day for Sam's Maggie. A burial plot was selected for him, and Maggie gathered her family and friends around her, as she buried her beloved Sam, to bid him to "Rest in Peace."

Tennessee State Marriages, confirmed that Maggie Shockley
married Nelson Singleton on 3 Mar 1917 in Grainger Co., Tennessee. This marriage produced the following children: Arthur W Singleton 1918 – 1960; Johnny Singleton 1920 – 1996 and Victoria "Vickie" Singleton 1923.

The 1920 census found Maggie and Nelson living on a farm in Civil District 4, Grainger, Tennessee. Three of the Shockley children were still at home, and a baby almost 2 years old, Arthur Singelton.

The 1930 census found Maggie living in her home in Civil District 4, Grainger, Tennessee. She was now divorced and no longer was using the name of Singleton, but now using the name of her first husband. Vickie and Arthur were still at home, but there was no evidence of financial support.
