Hello All, You can help! >From the messages here and the information in the various sources I've seen, it is clear that many of us are tracing individual Dutton lines in America. There is some general sense I have about the movement of Duttons. For example, the MA Duttons had descendants who moved to CT and others to VT. We've seen numerous attempts to track them here. Some of the PA Duttons moved westward to OH and KS. Some moved south to NC. It might be a nice little research project to trace these movements through time. I'd like to see if we have enough subscribers to the list to do that. Here is a task: if your research includes Duttons who moved from one state to another (prior to 1940 say), list those who made the move, the locality/state they moved from, the locality/state where they ultimately settled, and the year (approximately) in which the move occurred. Don't bother with a lot of additional genealogical detail. The idea here is to follow Duttons westward, southward, whatever. I will volunteer to compile the information and see if we can generate a map of movement. Don't assume I'll get your migrant from someone else. I'll remove the duplicate pieces of info when I get them. My own Duttons boringly stayed in Chester County PA from John Dutton in 1682 down through my grandmother, Lousia Belle DUTTON who was married in Village Green and lived in Ridley Park all her adult life. My father lived in PA until retirement and his two sisters still have homes there. The next generation, however, is spread all over the US. So I have no movements in my own family research to start this from. If your message is posted here to DUTTON-L I will get it. I'll acknowledge these messages in bulk after I compile them. (Assuming, of course, anyone has an interest is this!) Doug Hall
