8. A File from the Archives of USGenWeb (online at RootsWeb.com [link died]; submitted by Robin Taylor). This particular archive consists of articles about historic homes in Rockingham County, North Carolina, written by Anne Pearl Pratt Van Noppen and published in 1950 in The Messenger. One of the articles, entitled "Green Valley," included genealogical information about the DALTON and PRICE families. Quoting from that article (boldface added):

Six generations of the Dalton family have lived at this settlement. The first was Samuel, who married Anne Dandridge Red of Orange County, VA. Attracted by the milder climate of North Carolina, they moved to this location in the early 1700's. Their son, Samuel Dalton, married a Miss Ewell. Their son, Nicholas, married Rachel Hunter, daughter of Colonel James Hunter. Their [Nicholas & Rachel's] twelve children were: Sam, James, John, Nicholas, Robert, Ewell, Leander, Pleasant, Charlotte, who married James Scales, Nancy who married Thomas Roseboro and Elizabeth, who married Richard Cardwell...
The first Samuel Dalton to live in this community was a fabulous figure. He lived in three centuries, being born in 1699 and living until 1802. He is said to have owned 150,000 acres of land. Four of his great-grandchildren lived until the ripe age of 90 or more. Dr. Robert Dalton was 95, Ewell was 92. Lee was 93. Mrs. Charlotte Dalton Scales was 93. Two of this family were professional men, Dr. Robert Dalton and the Rev. Pleasant Dalton, a Presbyterian minister. The others were farmers and manufacturers of tobacco, successful business men, owning slaves and amassing wealth.
