~~ REBECCA WILLIAMS DALTON ~~
_________________________________________
"Rebecca Williams" was born in 1773 VA to:
~ "William Williams" who lived & owned land @ Bedford Co., Grayson Co., Pittsylvania Co., & Montgomery Co., VA. It was stated that he & his brother, John Williams, Jr., owned land near Reuben Dalton, Sr. (who would become Rebecca's father-in-law).
It was recorded in some papers in VA that Rebecca Williams was the most beautiful of all women in VA.
_______________________________
REBECCA married "Enos Benjamin Dalton" (1772 VA--1850 TN) in 1793 @ Grayson Co., VA.

ENOS was the son of:
~ "Reuben Dalton, Sr." (1752 VA--1822 TN) &
~ "Elizabeth Shockley".

* REV. WAR SOLDIER = "Reuben Dalton, Sr." = served as an ensign under Capt. William Bobbitt & under the "Joint Return of Strength of Jonathan Isham". *
_______________________________
REBECCA & ENOS moved to TN by 1801. Enos farmed near his father's land @ Copper Ridge, Grainger Co., TN. Both he & Rebecca died there in 1850.
_______________________________
It is very complicated tracing which Dalton child belonged to which Dalton parents as the brothers named their children the same names with their birth & death dates being within a year or so of each other & living within the same area, but the following list is what "I" think is most likely for the

"Children of Enos & Rebecca Dalton":

~ "Mary Dalton" (1794 VA--1857 TN)
m: Nathaniel Branson (1787 VA--1858 TN) in 1812 TN.

~ "David Dalton" (1795 VA--1880 TN)
m: Mary Polly Dyer in 1817 TN.

~ "Aggy Dalton" (1792 VA--? TN)
m: Gilbert Vandergriff (1791--?) in 1814 TN.

~"Reuben A. Dalton" (1798 VA--1856)
m: Arlena Clark in 1832 TN.

m: Ausborne Coffey.
