My mother's maiden name was Dalton. When I was doing genealogical research some years ago, I investigated whether or not we were related to the infamous Dalton Gang. From everything I could find, we were not. In 19th century Kentucky, it was spelled both Dolton and Dalton. I've found both in my family history. Another Old West character that I checked on was Doc Holliday, the dentist that was sent west for his health. My Nichols line has Hollidays, spelled many different ways, that go back to Walter (The Minstrel) Haliday who supplied entertainers to the royal court in England in the 15th century. I could find no true connection to Doc, either.
