Julia Ann, b. 1814, d. after 1880, Estill KY (only seen in one or two databases), married Thomas Dalton, 11 Jan 1840, Grainger, TN - I suspect she doesn't belong in the family; never found in a census in Estill, KY
Mary Bowman, b. abt 1819 Married in Claiborne TN, 25 Dec 1838 to E. Hutson

Re doubtful daughter Julia - although what little information is on the Internet, places this couple in Estill KY, I found them in Caldwell.
Not found anywhere in 1850 - no Daltons in Claiborne, many Daltons in Grainger, TN - just not this family
