    3. According to the website USGS, mapping by the government there are 132 places in the US with Dutton in their name. Our (known) claim to fame is Dutton, Madison County, Arkansas and the Dutton Cemetery that is also located there.� About 1896 as the railroad was built thru this area there was a railroad depot (I have a picture of it) and there was also the Dutton Merchantile.� This establishment was owned by George Melvin Dutton and then his son, Emmett.� Some years later the railroad was rerouted and the little town of Dutton declined.� Last summer my two sisters and I visited and had great fun taking pictures of ourselves in front of the road sign and the cemetery sign!!� George Melvin descends from the elusive Jeremiah Dutton whose roots we are still trying to prove!! That url is: http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html I just typed in the Feature name of Dutton and hit Send query.� I use this website alot!! Sue
