Great map site, Colin. Thanks. I would point out that the small village of Aston is immediately adjoining Dutton. While John DUTTON of PA was supposedly originally an inhabitant of Frodsham, when he emigrated to PA, the location where he settled was almost immediately given the name Aston. I suspect that he may not have been the only emigrant from the viciinity. While we do not have records of the place of origin of some of the PA settlers who were neighbors of John DUTTON, I suspect that more than John were from the same area. Otherwise one would be led to believe that John DUTON had somehow been given the right to name the new location in PA. But he wasn't even the first owner of his tract. Penn had granted it to Thomas Rowland and Rowland sold it to DUTTON. I suspect that Rowland as well as John Neild (who Mary DARLINGTON married as second husband after John's death) were also from Aston. The link between Cheshire, County Palatine, in England and Chester County, PA, is strong. Chester, PA, the first English settlement in Chester County was obviously named for Chester, the county seat of Cheshire, England. And Aston was named for Aston. What other township names in the original settlement of Chester County, PA, come from Cheshire? One obvious one that does not is Chichester. What about Ridley, Darby, etc. Doug Hall -----Original Message----- From: Dutton, Colin, DUTTONCW <colin.dutton@bt.com> To: DUTTON-L@rootsweb.com <DUTTON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, August 28, 1998 12:16 PM Subject: Dutton Hall >Hi All, > >Just a quickie, > >I have added two URL's that will take you to O.S.maps in the UK, one is of >East Grinstead (where Dutton Hall now is), the other is of Dutton (where >Dutton Hall was). > >http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=545000&Y=135000 > >East Grinstead is in the centre of the map and Ashurstwood is just below it, >this is where the School is. > >http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=357740&Y=379300 > >Dutton is in the top right-hand corner of the centre square, the Hall was >situated just below the A533 sign.
