Sue, Thank you for all the work you have done for so many of us on the Southern Dutton lines. Just when I was beginning to think my family was "hatched" you come up with information. Thank you. Jennifer

Yes, I too would like to know where they came from. Did they come from England? If so, what part of England? Thanks and have a Happy New Year! Lynne A. Canada

Would like to find out more informatoin about the Duttons of South Carolina. Does anyone know where they were from? Happy New Year! Jennifer

Hello All - and happy holidays. I just want to explain that I have saved all the messages about Dutton migrations and have obtained an outline map of the US to plot them on. However, my work (the kind I do for pay) has suddenly ballooned and I have some Christmas shopping to do too. So I won't get my analysis done right away. But I WILL get to it. Sorry for the delay. Doug

Hi Don, Good to hear from you. Just in case you don't know, Adams County is located on the Ohio River and borders Kentucky, and is the third county east of Cincinnati. I would suggest that you post the information that you have accumulated to the LISTand see if anyone makes any connections. Good luck, Carole ____________________________________ Don Dutton wrote: > > Hi Carole. Just a quick line on family history.

Hi Reed! I see that you picked up on my disappointment, but I am tenacious (and skeptical) because Burke's story has been the only one known (to me) until recently when Ormerod's story came along to upset the applecart. Now, the Warburton's have believed, since at least the 17th century, that we are related to Wm the Conq., so I can't just dismiss family lore because it is not supported by the evidence that we have available today. However, I would like to read James Tait's writings and evaluate (for myself) his criticisms that would lead authorities, like yourself, to say that my grandfather's father(s) and brothers are ficitious--maybe they are not provable, but ficitious is a strong statement!!! Does Tait prove that they are ficitous or does he prove that there is no evidence to support their existence. I, myself, think that these strange names are strange. But I want to learn as much as I can. I like to form my own opinions and not just take someone's opinion as truth (even an expert's opinion!) I am sure that you understand my feelings; thus, I am asking you to give me the name of the article or book or whatever that Tait used to express his historical findings. I would very much appreciate it if you could send this reference to me. Thank you so much for your help and your time.

All I Want For Christmas Dear Santa: Don't bring me new dishes; I don't need a new kind of game. Genealogists have peculiar wishes; For Christmas I just want a surname. A new washing machine would be great, But it isn't the desire of my life. I've just found an ancestor's birth date, Now I need the name of his wife. My heart doesn't yearn for a ring That would put a real diamond to shame. What I want is a much cheaper thing: Please give me Martha's last name. To see my heart singing with joy, Don't bring me a red leather suitcase. Bring me a genealogist's toy: A surname, with dates and a place. Author Unknown

This was also the opinion of James Tait, one of the best Cheshire historians, who had Omrerod and other sources at his fingertips. To recap, the problem is that the story given in Ormerod's History of Cheshire and Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum, which is the source for the attribution of this Odard's siblings and parentage, is fabulous (this is clear from internal and external evidence). And there were many other Odards. So, I would point out that if you have accurately tied into the Medieval Dutton family of Cheshire, which traces back, somewhat tenuously, to this Odard, who appears in Domesday, you have done far better at tracing a direct male descent thnt over 90% of other people can (mine goes back five generations). So please don't be disappointed if records do not survive to trace Odard's origins on the Continent. He may well be from the Avranchine, but it is not likely he is the immediate child of a count. Dr. Katharine Keats-Rohan agrees that William FitzNigel, who had far more extensive properties in Cheshire, was not a member of the St. Savieur family. That connection would have been far more likely than the ones proposed for Odard.

Hello Cousins, I found this on another list and thought you might enjoy it. I started out calmly tracing my tree, to find if I could, the making of me, and all that I had was a great grandfather's name, not knowing his wife or from whence he came. I chased him across a long line of states and came up with pages and pages of dates. When all put together, it made me forlorn, I proved that poor grandpa had never been born. One day I was sure the truth I had found. Determined to turn this whole thing upside down. I looked up the record of one uncle John, but then found the old man was younger than his son. Then when my hopes were fast growing dim, I came across records that must have been him. The facts I collected made me quite sad. Dear old grandfather was never a dad. I think maybe someone is pulling my leg. I'm not at all sure I wasn't hatched from an egg. After hundreds of dollars I've spent on my tree, I can't help wonder if I'm really me. -Anonymous

Do you know any of the siblings of this John Dutton. He surely must be a descendant of the early Thomas of Sussex Co., DE.

In the late '60's, missionaries often recommended to their converts that they remain in their homes until the completion of the railroad, thus avoiding much of the hardship, sickness and death that had marked the trail of the covered wagon. By so doing they would also be able to accumulate more money to bring with them to the new community, or to assure the passage of the entire family. And in Utah, men who would otherwise be called to leave their homes to guide the incoming Saints to Zion, could stay at home to carry on their own work. With this in mind, the missionaries were frequently given the responsibility of placing families in mid-west or eastern communities where they could find homes and employment."

Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. "Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had an executive make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," said the woman. "Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven, and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in." "Actually, I think I've made up my mind...I prefer to stay in Heaven," said the woman. "Sorry, we have rules . . ." And with that, St. Peter put the executive in an elevator, and it went down-down-down to Hell. The doors opened, and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with, and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks, and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club, where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil, who was actually a really nice guy, and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St.Peter waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds, playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said. The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell." So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator, and again she went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened, she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. "I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here, and there was a golf course and a country club, and we ate lobster and danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage, and all my friends look miserable." The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you; today you're staff." ******************************************************************** Value of human capital Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true: Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money. As every engineer knows, Work ---------- = Power Time Since Knowledge = Power, and Time =Money, we have Work --------- = Knowledge Money Solving for Money, we get: Work ----------- = Money Knowledge Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done. Conclusion: The Less you Know, the more money you Make. --------------6E33638F9231CD17112221D6--
