The only Duttons buried in the Dutton Cemetery that have tombstones with their names on them are: Emmett Melvin Dutton, 20 Oct 1886 - 3 Sept 1986, son of George Melvin & Nevada Maybell GARDNER Dutton Dutton, Emma Mae, 19 Sept 1901 - 21 June 1965, wife of Emmett Dutton, Wilma Jean, 12 June 1926 - 16 Oct 1927, d/o Emmett & Emma I have checked our Master Cemetery Index for all of Madison County Cemeteries, and I do not find a tombstone for Levi or Nancy Dutton. I'm not certain why the town of Dutton was named that. The Dutton post office was established on 20 Sept 1878 and the first postmaster was Thomas H. Reynolds.

Thank you, Joy, I appreciate it. Do you have any idea how complete the cemetery surveys are? I.e. are there likely to be other cemeteries in the area that weren't surveyed? A cousin recently told me that he had seen the name of Levi Dutton on a tombstone there, and he gave the name of Dutton Cemetery, though he said he might be mistaken about the cemetery. This was years ago and he made no notes and took no pictures. I have never asked for a cemetery lookup before because it was my understanding that, as you say, no marker could be found for Levi Dutton, but I was most surprised to hear from my cousin that he'd seen one. As far as I know, my cousin would've never heard of Levi Dutton. He is from a different branch of the family entirely, from Louisiana, and only ended up in Madison County by chance. Levi Dutton is one of the most elusive of all my family. He migrated from Walker County, Alabama to Cherokee County, Texas in about 1849, leaving no record at all in Alabama, and is only connected to our family at all by the chance recollection of a great-niece. He married Nancy Allen in 1850 and was on the census in Cherokee County in 1850, 1860, and 1870. In 1880, his widow appears in Madison County, Arkansas, and traces of his descendants have been found there. 1878 would probably be about the right date for our Duttons arriving in the area, if the name of the place is in any way connected to my family. --Joseph T.
