Anne Dalton is the eldest child and first daughter of Joseph Dalton and Jane Whitman. She was born April 6, 1831 and baptized in Dalston, England May 6, 1831.

By 1833 the Daltons moved to the area near Warwick Bridge where Ann's father, Joseph, worked for the Peter Dixon and Sons textile mill. The Dalton family lived in the village of Burnrigg where many other mill workers resided. Four more Dalton children were born and baptized in Wetheral parish before the family immigrated to the United States.

Little is known about Anne's childhood other than the fact that she left England with her parents and four siblings sometime between November 1840 and June 1842.

According to census records, Anne was 20 years old in 1850, living with her parents and seven siblings in Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. On September 30th, 1853 Anne Dalton married William Newton in Upland, Pennsylvania. The Rev. J. B. Maddux officiated. The marriage was announced in the Delaware County Republican on October 4, 1853. The Delaware County Republican was a local paper for the Upland community.

The Newtons left Pennsylvania and moved to Missouri shortly after marriage and became dairy farmers. Later they moved to Wisconsin and it is believed they continued in the dairy farm business. They lived in an area of Wisconsin that supported miners, however, descendents do not believe they engaged in this type of work. Some of their sons went to Kansas in the 1880's and 1890's. It was around the time of homesteading and family lore states the sons farmed and worked the wheat fields.

William Newton was born January 13th, 1827 in Lancashire, England and died August 11, 1902 in Macon County, Missouri. Anne Dalton Newton died September 13th or 15th, 1903 in Macon County, Missouri.
