Father: George Coffey 1782 - 1861
Mother: Margaret Rucker 1787 - 1871
Delphia was born in 1810 to Margaret Rucker and George Hayes Coffey in Grainger County, Tennessee.
Timothy 'Dotton' Dalton married Delphia Coffey in Grainger, Tennessee, on December 29, 1828, when he was 18 years old. They had nine children, six boys - George Washington, David, William Nelson, Colby Timothy, Hiram, Walter, and three girls -Manerva, Emaline and Harriett.
After Timothy died in 1863, on Mar 13 Delphia married Jacob Hipshire in Grainger County, Tennessee.
In gray and butternut, Delphia watched her sons take their stand, Bound by duty, in a war-torn land.
Through fields of strife, where brothers clashed, their footsteps echoed, memories lashed.
Captured, a pawn in a war's cruel game, Yet in George's veins, the Irishman's ancient flame.
Held hostage by the Union's firm embrace, A son of two worlds, in a perilous space.
In the prison's silence, where hope seemed thin, George Washington D'alton clung to visions of the hills he'd seen.
Whispers of ancestors, in the night's cruel hush, A resilient spirit, an unwavering hush.
Through the bars, he glimpsed the moon's soft glow, A silver ribbon, a lifeline to bestow.
In the darkness, he found a warrior's grace, A 1/8 Shawnee grandson, in a confined space.
As the cannons hushed and the war bells tolled, Released, but with scars, both seen and untold.
The Dalton boys returned to a land that had changed its face, The Irishman's sons, a survivor's embrace.
In the mending South, where the scars ran deep, they walked with shadows, secrets to keep.
Yet in their gaze, resilience would gleam, the sons of the Irishman, caught in history's stream.
May their journeys forward, find peace at last, Bridges between eras, their echoes cast.
In the pages of time, their stories unfurled, Irishman's sons, in a complex world.
