Biography - Mary Elizabeth Warner was born on February 10th, 1826 in Manchester, Ontario, New York. She was a daughter of Luther Warner and Permelia Stanton. Mary Elizabeth had at least 7 brothers and sisters. She married Charles Dalton on August 11, 1842, possibly in Homer, Calhoun, Michigan. Mary Elizabeth Warner had an older sister, Elnora Lucretia Warner, that was married to an older brother of her husband, whose name was Simon Cooker Dalton.

The newlyweds left Michigan sometimes in the spring of 1843 for Nauvoo. When the Dalton's arrived in Nauvoo they at first boarded in town before buying property on the outskirts of town. Charles Dalton only paid $50 for their lot. The family then had to build a log cabin on this property, which had a good view of the Temple that was in the process of being built.

On October 18, 1843 a son, John Luther Dalton, was born to Mary Elizabeth and her husband, Charles.

Mary and Charles Dalton both received their Patriarchal Blessings on October 15, 1844 from Patriarch John Smith.

In February of 1845, Mary Dalton traveled to Jackson County, Michigan with her husband, Charles, where he was to serve as conference president. While in Michigan, Mary took the time to visit with her parents, who she had not seen for a few years.

Back in Nauvoo, after the conference was over, a baby girl was born 20th July 1845, to Charles and Mary Dalton. They named her Permelia Elizabeth Dalton. Permelia died on October 21, 1845, for reasons unknown.

The Charles Dalton family had to leave Nauvoo with the other Saints in February of 1846. They were probably in the first wave of 500 families that left first.

It was on September 31, 1846 that a second daughter was born to Mary Elizabeth Dalton. Unfortunately Martha Jane Dalton died of dropsy on May 9th, 1847. Charles and Mary buried her at the Winter Quarters Cemetery.

Charles and Mary Dalton left Winter Quarters with the Willard Richard Company on July 10th, 1848 and followed the other Saints that had left for the trip across the plains to the Great Salt Lake Valley. After a long and hard trip, the Dalton family arrived in Salt Lake City on October 19th, 1848.

Mary Elizabeth Warner Dalton died at her home in Farmington, Davis, Utah on November 28th, 1856 of unknown causes. She was only 30 years of age.
