Hi Bob, Curt, Karen, and all, I have been out-of-town all week and arrived home yesterday, so, I am just catching up on my mail. It looks like the data shows that the 1759 Kingsman Dutton is not the same Kingsman as the one who married Anne Routh, 1736-7. He could be a son of the 1736-7 Kingsman, who amazingly has only two children that Cope felt comfortable enough to report. I think it is more likely that there were other children. The birthdate of Kingsman, 1759, goes along with that of David, b. abt 1756 (Cope:p.49). Even though Kingsman (1736-7) was found to be "no member of our religious society," Anne became a member in 1748; thus, Kingsman may have been reaccepted into the society. I have a Belmont County friend who has offered to look up my Kingsman Dutton's on the Hinshaw CD. I hope she finds something helpful! I will let you know when she writes back. This is quite a mystery! We just have too many wives for Kingsman Dutton!
