some of it is, sentences like "John Dalton was born September 6, 1766 in Eaglesfield, Cumberland and received his early education from his father and from John Fletcher, a teacher of the Quaker school at Cumberland, on whose retirement in 1778 he himself started teaching."
If he was a techer before, how come he became a teacher after retirement?

I think it means that it was Fletcher who retired, and that Dalton took his place, but your right, it is kind of a bad sentence, because it's too long. I'm not sure what it's supposed to say, though, so I won't change it myself. -

Correct date of death
Dalton's date of death is stated as 1844. A line under Other Publications lists it as 1840.
