1850 Illinois Census, Will County (near Cook, Chicago), Crete Township, page 163, dwg 25, 18 Sept 1850. John Dutton age 55 farmer, real estate 500, Sarah 52, Silas 10--all born New York. 1860 Illinois Census, Will County, Town of Monee, post office Monee, page 223/453, dwg 1692, fam. 1605. John Dutton age 67 farmer, real estate 1000, Sarah 61, both born New York. In addition to John Dutton of Will county, see also Abbott S. Dutton age 32, Charles Dutton age 23, and Orson B. Dutton age 26, all with families. While the ages or other data do not quite match, there are a number of Iowa families who could be related. See also in Iowa, 1860 Census Buchanan County, Abbott E. Dutton age 45 born New York; 1870 Dallas Co. Abbott Dutton age 53 Merchant born New York; 1860 Iowa, Deleware Co., O. B. Dutton age 35 Merchant born New York and Josiah age 69 born New York. 1850 Census Illinois, Will County, Crete Township, page 163, dwelling 29, 18 Sept 1850. Abbott S. Dutton age 32 farmer born New York; Jane age 29 born Vermont; Gatnella age 7, Oliver age 2, and John E. age 1/12--all children b. Illinois and in school. 1850 Census Illinois, Will County, Crete Township, page 167, dwelling 77, 18 Sept 1850. Charles Dutton age 23 farmer, Mary 22 both b. NY; Laura A. age 10/12 born Illinois. 1850 Census Illinois, Will County, Carey Township, page 172b, dwelling 25, 20 Sept 1850. Orson B. Dutton age 26 farmer, Lydia A. age 25, Martha L. age 4, all born New York. The latter three seemed to have disappeared from the 1860 Illinois Census, or their names are not easily matched. I am seeking Melvin Duttons for my collection of about 30 Melvin Duttons.
