James Dalton (Born in 1834 in Limerick, Ireland) was a wealthy merchant and pastoralist that lived during the 19th and 20th centuries in Orange, New South Wales, Australia.[1] He was the patriarch of the wealthy Irish Australian Dalton Family.
James was the youngest of three children, the eldest, his brother, was Thomas Dalton and then his sister, Margaret Dalton, who both eventually moved to Australia.[2]
James Dalton was born in 1834 in Duntryleague, Limerick, Ireland as the second son of James Dalton and his first wife Eleanor Dalton (née Ryan). He lived in Duntryleague, Limerick, for the first 13 years of his life while his father had been shipped to the Colony of New South Wales for kidnapping a widower, Catherine Sheehan, and imprisoning her for a week in Northern Ireland with several other men, one being his brother-in-law, Daniel Ryan, in November 1833. James Dalton's father was tried on the 14 March 1835, and was at first sentenced to death on the 8 April of that year, which was shortly after changed to transportation.[2] He was transported to New South Wales on the convictship, the Hive on its second voyage to Australia, in 1835, while James Dalton Junior was less than a year old. When James' father got to Australia, The Hive was wrecked near Jervis Bay with one fatality as it was coming along the coast. His father arrived in Sydney on Christmas Eve of the year of 1835 after the New South Wales Government sent a ship to help salvage the prisoners, soldiers and money the ship was carrying. [3] [4]
His mother died some time while his father was in New South Wales, and he was left alone while his older brother, Thomas, and sister, Margaret, were in North America. In 1842-43, his father had been let out of Bathurst Jail in New South Wales with a ticket of freedom to do as he pleased, including to move back to Ireland, but he chose to stay in Australia, so he did, and moved to Fredericks Valley, a small mining settlement near Lucknow. In 1847 James' father petitioned for his family to be shipped to New South Wales, so James being the only one in Ireland, he was shipped aboard the Panama, alone, to the colony
