Hi to all DUTTON researchers. This is the second report of what little I found in London on the one afternoon I was able to get loose and go to the Genealogist’s Society. The reason I found so little was lack of time and unfamiliarity with the routine and organization. There was a multitude of material there and I didn’t even get a chance to scratch the surface. This report pertains only to: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index First Edition, Vol 1 A-G page 526 Edited by P. William Filby with Mary K. Meyer Published 1981 by Gale Research Co., Book Tower, Detroit, MI 48226. Why I had to go to London to find research books published in the US is only explained by the fact that I live in a one horse town with no decent research facilities within driving distance. The index was first published in 1981 and then published a supplement ever year at least until 1995. They had that many there. I got a chance to glance at 5 of them. 1981, 82, 83, 84, & 95. I just ran out of time and was terribly frustrated when I had to quit and run. The index is just that - an INDEX. It is organized alphabetically by surname. Within the surname it is organized in chart format with 5 columns. Column 1 is alphabetical by the first name or initial(s) if known. Column 2 is the age of the individual at time of immigration. There were very few notations in this column. Column 3 is where that individual landed in the US if known. Sometimes it merely lists “USA” Column 4 is the year of immigration. Column 5 was a reference to the original document(s) where the data had been found. I then had to go find that book or document to get any further details. The first one I looked at was the original 1881 publication - and I thought I had hit the jackpot (foolish me). There were two seperate listings for a DUTTON (no first name indicated) landing in MA in 1630. Each had a different reference and I spent (wasted?) much of my valuable time hunting them down. The first was: page 68 of “The Wingthrop Fleet of 1630” by Charles Edward Banks, 1930. It didn’t give any more information. The second listing gave as a reference: page 72 of “The Planters of the Commonwealth” by Banks and it didn’t give any further information either. I was most disappointed. I then went on to look at the 1882 supplement. This and the later supplements that I got to look at showed a certain amount of confusion as to whom they included in each publication. They might duplicate some but not all of those listed in the previous edition(s). so you could not get a complete list by looking at any particular edition. You must start at the beginning 1981 publication and go through each and every one to make sure you don’t miss some. I know that many of us, including myself, have been under the impression that very few DUTTONs came over as original immigrants - Don’t you believe it! In checking the 1982 supplement, after weeding out duplications from the 1981 edition I find the following: Andrew USA 1752 Andrew USA 1753 Ann MD.....1719 Charles Age 27 NY 1822 David VA ? David VA 1624 Debora VA 1652 Dorothy VA 1654 F. San Francisco 1850 G.W. San Francisco 1852 George USA 1765 H. San Francisco 1850 J. San Francisco 1850 J.W. San Francisco 1852 James GA ? with wife & child Jane USA 1759 John DE 1682 with wife John Philadelphia, PA 1812 John Philadelphia, PA 1815 John Grenada 1774 Joseph MD 1734 Laurance Boston 1765 Richard Barbados 1678 Susanna VA 1663-1679 Thomas USA 1743 Thomas Phiadelphia, PA 1852 Thomas MD 1775 In checking the 1983 supplement, after weeding out duplications from the previous editions I found the following: James Allegany Co., PA 1855 Thomas Mobile, AL 1848 In checking the 1984 supplement, after weeding out duplications from the previous editions I found the following: Henry VA 1665 James VA 1665 Thomas N.E. 1630 When I looked up the reference for this one it gave the following: Born 1621, living with sons Thomas & John in Billerica in 1675. - My comment here - for all the descendents of the New England branch - this is definitely our ancestor and we can at least prove that much. Whether this listing adds anything to what we already know is questionable - but worth discussing. I then had just enough time to skip to the 1995 supplement (the latest one they had). After weeding out duplications from the previous editions I found the following: Andrew VA 1681 Anne VA 1667 Samuel VA 1670 Samuel VA 1667 Thomas VA 1666 Thomas VA 1667 Thomas VA 1673 The only reference for all of the 1995 listings was: Nugent, Nell Marion. Cavaliers and Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, Vol. 2: 1666-1695, Indexed by Claudia B. Grundman, Richmond, VA: Virginia State Library 1977, 609R. If there is anyone on this List that has access to these publications it might be worth the time and effort to check the rest of them and publish the findings. Just on what I have found here I believe I may see an answer or two to some of the questions I have seen posted to this list. Dick Dutton Researching my family tree!
