General Notes: Husband - Daniel Walton



The following, slightly reformatted to improve readability, is from Byberry Waltons (Norman Walton Swayne, 1958), pgs 9-11.  See map on page 10.

4 DANIEL WALTON (2), born about 1660, died 2nd mo 20, 1719 aged about 60 years, son of 1 William Walton & Alice Martin of Oxhill, County of Warwick, England, married probably in August, 1688, Mary Lamb, who probably survived him.  Abington Mtg minutes 21st of 6th mo 1688 say the marriage had taken place.  Both Isaac Comly's obituary notes and the meeting records give the above date of death, and the latter say he was buried at John Harts at Bybury on ye Creek Poequesy.

Daniel seems to have lived all his life after 1683 in Byberry, on property which in 1956 lay at the intersection of Roosevelt Boulevard (part of Lincoln Highway) and Comly Road.  The following deed of 10 May 1755 shows he had been a trustee of Byberry Mtg, a subsidiary of Abington Mtg, from whose minutes it appears Daniel was always in good standing: Daniel Walton and Joshua Walton (two of the sons of Daniel Walton late of Biberry Township deceased), Richard Walton (son & heir of Joseph Walton deceased, another son of Daniel Walton the father), Daniel Walton, Benjamin Walton, William Walton, Hannah Walton, Rebecca Walton, Sarah Walton, Esther Walton, children of Benjamin Walton deceased (another son of said Daniel Walton the father), William Homer & Mary his wife (daughter of said Daniel Walton the father) deeded to several trustees of Biberry Meeting for five shillings one acre rec'd 2nd of 1st mo (March) 1694 by Daniel Walton & Henry Carver from Henry English to the use of the people of God called Quakers for a Burying place.  It has ever since been so used and a Meeting House erected on it.  The rest of Daniel's descendants are either dead without issue intestate or out of Unity with the Religious Fellowship of Friends.

An article in The Friend, Vol. 28, page 381, says Daniel is believed to have come forth in the ministry soon after the defection of George Keith, that he was often representative to the quarterly meeting of ministers, performed other services, and that in 1711 with brother William had liberty from Friends to visit in gospel love the lower parts of this province and territories and attending the general meeting, also that when he died Daniel was about 60.

In 1693 as tax collector of Byberry he assessed his brother Nathaniel at 31 pounds, tax 2s 6d, brother Thomas at 30 pounds, tax 2s 6d, himself the same as Thomas, brother William at 50 pounds, tax 4s 2d.

Besides the 100 acres in 1688 from Thomas Fairman, he acquired at least three other tracts, all contiguous:  lst 158 acres from John Kaighin & wife Sarah in 1697/8, 2nd 33 acres from John Swift in 1712 for 33 pounds, 3rd 100 acres Oct. 14, 1709 from brother Thomas, which Thomas had rec'd 10.1.1688 from Thomas Fairman.  For this Daniel paid 140 pounds and assumed the yearly quitrent to the Lord of the Fee.  July 1, 1717 Daniel & Mary deeded to their 3rd son Joshua for only 28 pounds, love and affection, the 100 acres rec'd from brother Thomas.  The following month, 4th of 6th mo 1717, they deeded to son Daniel without price 100 acres, beginning at a corner in the line of Richard Collett, NW by N by Collett 136 perches, NE by E by my land 118 perches, SE by S by Josias Ellis 136 perches, SW by W by John Swift 118 perches to the beginning, rec'd in two lots, lst from John Kaighin & wife Sarah sole extrx of Andrew Griscom her former husband who had by patent 495 acres and I bought 158 of that, 2nd 33 acres from John Swift, part of 50 acres formerly of John Turner.  This deed was proved 1767 by witness John Cliffton and recorded 1773, at the same time as a deed to the same grantee for land adjacent.  See under him.

Daniel Walton and Nathan Walton, probably this one with his very young son, were witnesses 8.24.1705 at the marriage at Phila. Mtg House of Jedidiah Hussey of New Castle Co. & Esther Cooper of Phila.

The will of Daniel Wallton of Township of Bibery, drawn 1.19.1718, proved in Phila. Apr. 25, 1719, being in health, said:  In considering my eldest son Samuel Wallton and his disobedience and undutifullness to me and to his mother and also his extravagent Life whearby I have been forced to pay Severall Soms of money to discharge his debts which doth amount to Such a Som or to so great a part of my Estate as I do think fitt to be his portion thearfore I do give him One English Shilling and no more.  The 100 acres formerly granted to son Daniel Wallton was confirmed to him and wife Elizabeth and he was willed One Silver English Shilling.  Son Joshua Wallton who was formerly granted 100 acres was willed One Silver English Shilling.  Three younger sons, Joseph, Benjamin and Nathan were to divide equally all the real estate, each coming into his portion at the age of 21, until which time they were to continue in subjection to their mother and be dilegent in the plantation under her.  Of the personal estate one third was to go to wife Mary exr, two thirds to be equally divided among Joseph, Benjamin and Nathan except two good cows and 15 pounds to dafter Mary Walton when she became 16.

Most data for these seven children did not get into the meeting records, so have come from the History of Byberry and Moreland.  Most births are guesses.  That history says Benjamin was born about 1693, but his father's will shows that was much too early:

25 Samuel b ab 1689 d ab 1758 m 1709 Marcy Waterman alive 1758
26 Daniel b ab 1691 d 1757 m 1714 Elizabeth Clifton alive 1757
27 Joshua b ab 1693 d 1759 m 1716 Catherine Albertson d 1759
28 Joseph b ab 1698 d 1727 m 1722 Esther Carver
29 Benjamin b 1701 d 1753 m 1724 Rebecca Homer b 1704 d 1783
30 Nathan b ab 1703 d minor, not married
31 Mary b ab 1708 d 1788 m 1732 William Homer b 1707 d 1786

CHRISTENING:

England, Warwickshire, Parish Registers, 1535-1963 at familysearch.org:
Warwickshire, Oxhill, "Baptisms, marriages, burials 1658-1747", image 10/37:

1662  Nathaniell: Daniell, & Hester the sonnes & Daughter of William Walton were Baptized 19th of Sept.

BIRTH:

Speaking of Daniel's father, Swayne says that the birth place of the four sons was in the parish of Byberry in the southeast corner of Gloucestershire, and he cites The Friend, Vol. 28, page 381 as the source.  The Friend is a Quaker magazine that began publication in London in 1842.  Volume 28 presumably corresponds to about 1870 -- 200 years after the facts.  We need to know exactly what was said in The Friend, but its reliability seems dubious.

Since three siblings were christened at the same time, we know that the christening was delayed.  We don't know when the children were born nor where.
