Hi, Well here is a couple who claim to have found John's father. I'm sending along part of the note I received without their names (I'm not sure they appreciate my giving out their names yet). Maybe some of you know them already, but I thought I'd try and verify the information before we bombard them with questions and congratulations. I just wanted to keep you all informed and I'll let you know when I see the information (don't get your hopes up). Later, Randy Lilley ------------------------------------- Randy, Was sure glad to hear from you. It looks to me as if we both can be of help to each other. Do you have a genealogy program on your computer? I can make a ged-com of my Dutton line and send you. I have so much stuff on the direct line that it would take hours to type it into the computer e-mail. I have all the children of each couple also. Yes I know who the Father of John Dutton born in England in 1599 is. I go all the way back to the Nordic Kings. I have been working on the Dutton line for a special project for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My husband & I are on a mission here in Salt Lake City at the Churches Testing Lab. One of the projects I have been working on is the Dutton line. I have been verifying all records with Parish records in England, Vital records here in the states etc. The Church has a Medevil Department where people that trained to search these records out work. I have a hugh chart that takes the family back to the Nordic Kings. Will wait to hear from you as to how I can send you my records. How are you related to the Dutton line?
