Wow....CURT!! (and everyone else on the list!!) This is so exciting!! I've been wondering for a long time if this house was still standing. But I didn't have a clue how to go about finding it. I was on the Chester, PA list back in the spring.....when Doug Hall and I "connected".....but unsubscribed soon after when all the flurry of excitement was going on about the charts on THIS list. Maybe I oughta re-subscribe to see if anyone there knows if it still stands. THIS IS WHY......altho I operate a business which eats away at my fun time (i.e.family hist.research!) I do have a free weekend over Oct 2-5 and well, golly gee whizz......if I could catch a $59 flight into Philadelphia, I'd sure take a run at Chester County to see if I could find the old house. (and mill) I have double reason for going up there.....since I also have some ancestors who settled Germantown at the same time....also at the urgings of William Penn. So I could just have a marvellous time poking around the back areas of Philly......if I knew WHERE I was going. Doug mentioned that his father was buried in a cemetery which he thought was on the old John Dutton land as well.......that would be another stop on my quickie tour!! And a look at the Chester Meeting House. I think it's still there too. And what other location am I forgetting?? So I need some help and direction here from all of you good people!! Get out your maps and old deeds and help me try to zero in on these locations. I've got a good supply of film......a good camera..... and I'll shoot it all......... and share with everyone.....if you'll help me find these places!! I could spend at least 3 days......and could pack a lot of digging into that much time. Oh....and I just remembered that John Dutton is supposed to have been buried at a Friends church in downtown Philly....even tho the Quakers did not use tombstones. A stop there would be on my "must see" list. And maybe I could go see where Geo L. Dutton lived on 15th??? Come on gang......Quick....get your thinking caps on ........where else should I try to visit ???? Phyllis in Atlanta.....itching for a trip to Chester Co.!! -----Original Message----- From: Curt Rowe [SMTP:curtrowe@ix.netcom.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 1998 9:17 PM To: DUTTON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Kingsman Dutton's House It pays to rifle through your mom's old pictures. Found a post card with a picture of Kingsman Dutton's house. On the back of the card, which was never mailed, it said: Home of Kingsman Dutton. built in 1753. Grandfather of Francis, Jacob and William. Father of Fancis David and Kingsman Jr. The latter was born 2,1,1759 in this house in Aston Twp. Del Co. Pa. There was also a label: Order Thru Geo. L. Dutton. "I. L." 3453 2019 N. 15th Street Philadelphia, Pa. Another note that I have indicates that the house was still standing in 1930 so I suspect that was when this picture was taken. The picture is on my web page: http://www.netcom.com/~curtrowe John Dutton of Pennsylvania. Feel free to copy it. The image is 100% of the original size. I cropped some of the landscape off of the right hand side. ______________________________
