THOMAS ELTON
Trying to find any info on Tom Elton. We know very little. He married my gr.gr.grandmother Sally Dailey Dickerson in May of 1833 in Tippecanoe, Co., Indiana. She was widowed from Joseph Dickerson in 1832. They settled in Muscatine, Iowa in 1836. Sally died in 1839 leaving ten children by Joseph. I have been told Thomas was in the 1850 census for Muscatine but I have not seen proof. We have no idea of what became of Tom. Most of Sally's children were already adults when she died except two. We don't know if they lived with Tom. We believe Sally is buried in the Kisor cemetery in 76 township but 1839 was too early for good records in Iowa. Family records speak of going to that cemetery to visit the grandparents graves. We don't know if that means Tom is buried there or not. There is no record of a burial and no visible marker in this heavily overgrown private cemetery. Any help at all appreciated. Sally married Joseph in Ohio in 1807 and they settled in Indiana about 1830. The Daileys came from Pennsylvania. Again no data on Tom. Please help solve some puzzles for us.
