With her as family 937 is Ann Smith, a servant born Ireland and three more servants born Ireland. In the same dwelling, but as family 930, find Joel Matteson age 52, a wealthy banker 300,000 plus 250,000 born New York; wife Mary age 49 born Connecticut, and three Matteson children age 21 to 11, all born Connecticut. So it is possible that wife Mary was born a Dutton about 1811 in Connecticut. 1860 CENSUS Illinois, Sangoman County, 17th Subdivision, post office Williamsville, Sept 1860, page 729, dwg 2075. G. W.
