Beginnings
Lewis Dalton, father of the outlaws, was from Jackson County, Missouri. He was a saloon keeper in Kansas City, Kansas, when he married Adeline Younger, an aunt of Cole and Jim Younger. By 1882, the family was living in the Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. A few years later, they had settled down in Coffeyville in southeastern Kansas. Lewis and Adeline Dalton had a total of 15 children, two of whom died in infancy.
