It contains the lineage of the Dutton gentry, the PA Duttons, and the Sherbourne Duttons and shows relationships with William the Conqueror. The St. Sauveur line is just one of the proposed lines of ancestors for Odard, but we have not really been able to prove this line of descent; however, I have seen this line of descent in Collins, Arthur, Esq., The Peerage of England. Vol. IV. London, MDCCLVI (1756). The other unproven line of descent is through Heresendis (Helesendis) = William, Count of Eu. It is an interesting chart and I bought one for each of my children, plus, I have my old tattered, coffee-stained chart that I use as a guide for research back to medieval times. The more recent Duttons are from England. The PA Dutton line drops off the chart when John of PA immigrated to the US. Carole
