Hello Mike & Angie Swan, In checking my records I find a Mahala DUTTON b.26 Jan 1864 Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have no spouse or descendents for her but do have her parents and DUTTON ancestors. She is my 5th cousin 2 times removed (5C2R) and descends from MA John through Thomas, Joseph, Benjamin, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, & Rollin Henry. How can I help?
