Hi all, > Virginia Colonial Records Project > Survey Report No 07128 > Depository: Berkshire Record Office > Class: Trumbull MSS > Title: Alphabetical Correspondence, volume XXXII > Dates: 1609-1622 > Note: Letters from John More in London to William Trumbull in Brussels > no. 17 13 December 1610 > Discusses parliamentary and Court affairs. > > "Yt is advertised from Seville that one of the Kings of Barbary.... Sir Thomas Dutton has returned. > W.T. will know that Dr Langton is President of Magdalen and that Sanford > will go with Sir John Digby to Spain." This Sir Thomas Dutton must be the twentieth Dutton of Dutton on Lawson's Chart which notes that he died in 1614. Information from Fred Dutton indicates that he died on 12/28/1614, aged 46. In the Newspaper articles we received from (I don't have a note on who sent it, but it was printed in the newspaper, "The Chronicle," 1/2/65), it reports that Sir Thomas was knighted by James the First in 1603. In June, 1610, he was at the siege of Juliers. So maybe he has returned from that siege. In November, 1610, Thomas engaged in a duel with Sir Hatton Cheke on the Calais Sands and although Dutton was wounded in the throat with a rapier from the front and a dagger from behind, he survived both the duel and the discredit that followed it. Sir Hatton Cheke died from his wounds. This is also the same Thomas Dutton whose 14 year old son, John, died on his wedding day. Carole
