As many of you already know, the ISP that hosts The Dunton Homesite was offline for a couple of weeks this month. I believe that it has now stabilized and the it is available for use. If you have difficulty, please email me at miked@web-ster.com and I will look into it. Since the February issue of The Dunton Times was only available for a short period of time before the servers went down, I have edited it a bit and it is now the Feb - Mar edition. You can view it at http://www.web-ster.com/miked/duntnews.htm . I hope that all is well and that if you have new family news, you will email me. Best Regards, Mike Dunton

Hi to all! Does anyone have primary sources for Thomas Dutton of Overton, Frodsham Parish co. Chester (1606 to 1653) and for Mary Renny from Manchester whom he married? I am interested in birth dates and places, baptismal data, marriage date and place. Thanks in advance, Carole

I am searching for any information on Hanson DUTTON, b 3 Sep 1799, Loudon Co.,VA, d 13 Jun 1888 Adams Twp, Washington Co., OH. He marr Elizabeth JAMES 1818/1820 probably in VA. He was taken to OH by his Grandfather James Dutton at age 5 and was raised by him. James Dutton's wife was Lydia KIMLER who died 1800 in Loudon Co.,VA. There is no documentation of Hanson's birth and his parents are not known. Most Dutton researchers believe his father was John, son of James and Lydia Dutton. Hanson is buried at Lowell, OH along with his wife and some of their children. Their children were: Martha Ann, ca 1819; John J. 1822; Margaret,; Smith W., 1825; Jane, 1827 (my line); Susan, ,a 1829; Archibald, 1831; George Henry, 1834; Leonard S., 1836; Patterson H., 1838/1839. I have a copy of Hanson's will listing children . Any information will be appreciated. Thank you. Mary Ellen.

No wonder the English finally gave up and went to decimal currency, although they hung on until relatively recently. Now we have to start worrying about the euro ... Three hundred pounds sterling is roughly $420 today. I haven't checked the exact rate of exchange. At the time of the translation of the King James Bible, the first decade of the 1600's, one penny was roughly a day's wage for unskilled labor. The value of money at any given place and time is a problem; when cash is plentiful and tangible goods scarce, money isn't worth much (inflation). When cash is rare and tangible goods are plentiful, prices are very low (deflation). At both ends of the spectrum, when things get out of hand people resort to barter. These formulae are true regardless of what is going on in the next continent--or the next county! Try comparing the price of a house in rural Arkansas or Vermont, to the same building in Chicago's western suburbs or on Long Island (many other comparisons could be made). Yet we live in the same country, and the currency flows freely between states. Darrell Darrell A. Martin formerly of the Dutton District, Springfield, Vermont currently in exile in Addison, Illinois darrellm@sprynet.com

Can someone enlighten me regarding English money, for example, I know that £ means pounds, but what does s and d stand for? Shillings and ? How much money is £300 in US Dollars today? How much money was it in 1660? About how much US money is a £, s, and d? Carole

Hi Nick, I've been to the library today and read in the Appendix in a translation of the Doomsday Book: "At the time of Domesday Book the County of Cheshire included the coast of North Wales, which the English held or claimed, and also South Lancashire. Lancashire north of the ribble, with the southern portions of the future counties of Westmorland and Cumberland, were still included in Yorkshire, Northern Westmorland and most of Cumberland were not yet English; they were still part of the Kingdom of the Clyde, recently annexed to Scotland. The Clyde Kingdom was Welsh, its people called Cymry (anglicized Cumbri) in their own language, and the English knew it as Cumbria or Cumberland. It was permanently conquered by the English in 1092, six years after the Domesday Survey. The modern counties of Lancashire, Westmorland and Cumberland were brought into being soon after, probably in the first half of the 12th century. As a result the entries in Domesday which refer to north west England reflect the unclear political situation, and most of them were not yet arranged in the normal manner of English administration." Did you know this? When I go to Ohio State's library, I always wondered why they put Lancashire and Cheshire together! Because L and C do not follow one another, I thought they were a little NUTS!!! In a genealogy I found yesterday at the Ohio Historical Center: Geffrey, son of Adam, temp. Hen. III....resided at Budworth, and was written, Sir Geffrey de Budworth; Geffrey, his son, was also of Budworth; but, Peter, his son, removed to Warburton, temp. Ed. II. and thence wrote himself de Warburton; which name hath been ever since retained by his posterity, who removed to Arley, temp. Hen. VII...." If you would like a copy of this genealogy, I could mail a copy of it to you. Although I did not see a Thomas Warburton listed, it might provide your with some leads to check out Carole __________________________ Nicolas Blackhurst wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I have just joined this list.

Hello all, I have found at the OHS, a new source, I think, for the father of Odard, in addition to Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicum, but since I have no way to check this "new" source, I really don't know!!! Anyway, I am pretty excited, since this is the first time I have seen this in print. See the new source cited at the end of this quote. Collin, Arthur, Esq., The Peerage of England, Third Edition, Vol. IV, London, XDCCLVI. pp382-386. "This family is faid to be lineally defcended from (a) Ivon, Vifcount of Conftantine in Normandy, who married Emme, daughter of Allan Earl of Britagne, by whom he had fix fons, Nigel, Baron of Halton, and Conftable of Chefter, of whom defcended the Barons of Halton; 2. Hudard de Dutton, of whom defcended the family of Dutton in Com. Ceftr.; 3. Wolfath, anceftor to the prefent Lord Hatton, of whom I am to treat; 4. Wolmer; 5. Horfwyn; 6. Edward. Wolfath, third fon, was Lord of Hatton by the gift of Hugh Lupus [d'Avranches] Earl of Chefter; and was fucceeded by Robert his fon and heir, who, by Margaret his wife, daugher of Gilbert Crifpin, had iffue Sir Adam Hatton, of Hatton, Knt. whofe fon Sir Geffery Hatton, Knt. married a daughter of...." the genealogy goes onward with sons and with daughters marrying Venables and Vernons. (a) Ex Stemmate in Seager's Baronage, MS. Interestingly, these families were all from the Cotentin area of Lower Normandy; Bretagne was West of the Cotentin. Nigel, vicomte of the Cotentin, led by Guy of Burgundy, had rebelled against Duke William, along with many others of Lower Normandy, but the rebels were defeated at the battle of Val-és Dunes in 1047 and their fortresses had been destroyed. This was a battle for the leadership of Normandy. Nigel was forced into exile with his family in Bretagne, but was restored to nearly all his possessions by 1054.

Hi Bob, I have just received a very large packet of information from you today. YEA!! I was so excited that I hopped up and down!! (Surprised me too!!!) : - ) I will try to address your questions as soon as I have some free time. I will try to find documentation of W. R. Dutton's service in the Ohio legislature tomorrow at the Ohio Historical Center. Must be written down somewhere! Thank you for the documentation that he was a Senator in the Oklahoma legislature and in the Nebraska legislature. My father told me that WRD was also appointed Governor of the Oklahoma Territory by McKinley for whom he had campaigned. Is there any truth in this? I notice that the LDS has listed Odard's father as Ivo, Viscount of Cotentin and that they have given his birth date "abt 1046," Normandy, France, and marriage date "abt 1066" Chester, England. Does the LDS list sources for their information? I am trying to document Odard's father, but the "experts" tell me he has no father! However, I do not believe them because they throw out so much information, e.g., all but 20 of the warriors who went with Will the Conq to England. I hope you can send me the LDS sources, so, I can check them out! Wow! For awhile you lived in Saudia Arabia? Do you speak Arabic? I am always amazed at how much the Duttons move around--no grass grows under their feet!!! You have moved around enough yourself for several of us. My son, Jeff, moved 12 times in one year!!! I think that we should be addressed as: Duttons, the Nomadic Tribe. A Dutton will probably be among the first settlers on the Moon or on Mars. I have the Seneca News-Dispatch newspaper article itself--not a copy. The picture is entitled: "SENECA WOMAN STILL ACTIVE AT AGE 92." The date is: Thursday, July 19, 1962, Vol 79. There is a picture of my G-Aunt Ella Dutton with her "youngest great grandchild, Dana Lee Kelly, d/o M / M Don Kelly of Tulsa, OK." Dana Lee is the spittin' image of my granddaugher, Jessica. They could pass for twins. I will try to photocopy it for you, but it IS OLD AND FADED! Talk to you later, Carole

The Kentucky 1850 and 1860 census are posted. An attempt was made to get all the Duttons from the index lists. There are 203 individuals on this file; marriages 75 (not verified); and Duttons 115. A good majority were in Pulaski County. Last week, I secured three pages of IGI from the microfich at the Family History Center. There are about 114 Duttons on that. Of the 114, there were 2 in Brachen, 1 in Lincoln, 1 in Hardin, 3 in Pike, 2 in Green, leaving about 95 in Pulaski County. Unfortunately, I did not merge or post the IGI data except to notes in a couple of cases. There were differences in data and insufficient information to match. There was one David Dutton from the census, but 2 on the IGI. One of these Davids had a spouse Mary on the census, and a spouse Mary Jane Cox on the IGI. Probably the right one. I failed to match any of them, and did not feel like posting 114 "new" Duttons to the file. If you are interested in Kentucky, I should be able to scan both the IGI and the census lists for you. From there, you would have to take it. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Hi, I have Joseph, son of Thomas, b. Jan 25, 1661 and d. Jan 24 1733/4 in E Haddam,Ct. Can anyone tell me where the death date came from? I have been in contact with Bob Jackson who went to the cem. a number of years ago. He said it was over grown with trees and all the stones had been smashed by vandals. There was really nothing left and he was ready to give up searching, but found a small peice of stone with Dutton on it. Before he was done he had found all but one small peice of Joseph's stone. He had quite a day! He sent me a picture and as he told me the date looks like January 15 1733/4. Any comments, Randy Lilley
