The will of Rebecca Sly indicates William Dalton was a merchant of the Kingdom of France. The pedigree chart suggests he died in America. Being originally of the channel islands, business in or with France appears a real possibility. Perhaps he was a merchant in the Province of Quebec in North America, running merchandise between there and France in Europe? Quebec was part of France until 1763 I believe. You might try searching for records in Quebec.
Absolutely Amazing. Thank you.
