Hello Suzie, Welcome to the DUTTON List. You have come to the right place for some of the data you need but some of the rest is still a mystery. I don't believe any of us knows the parentage of Jeremiah, though we have bunches of his descendants. I am not the best source of data for this branch of the family but will give you what I have. I believe a Family Group Report for Elias' family will straighten out most of your data below. You will find it at the end of this message. I do hava a number (but not all) of descendants for Allen.

Notes Elias Dutton was the son of James Cass Dutton, Sr. He was born Feb.2nd 1832 in Scott County, Virginia, He married Sarah Penix, the daughter of Allen and Sarah Penix Dec. 20. 1850 at Paintsville, Kentucky. Sarah was born about 1836 in Scott Countu, Virginia. Her parents had also moved from Scott County to Johnson County, Kentucky. When the 1860 Census of Johnson County was taken, Elias and Sarah lived in Warfield, Kentucky. In about 1889, Elias married for the second time to Surrilda Preston. She was born in about 1826 in Kentucky. Elias and Sarah' children were as follows: 1. John, born January 27, 1852 2. Malinda, born about 1853 3. Elizabeth, born August 14, 1855 4. James, born March 17, 1857 5. Sarah, born about 1859 6. George, born August 18, 1861 7. Mary, born about 1864 8. Allen, born about 1866 9. William, born about 1867 10. Benjamin, born in June 1869 11. Nancy J. born 1872 12. Moses, born about 1875 Elias and Sarah' children were married as follows: 1. John Dutton to Nancy Mullins, March 2, 1871 2. Malinda to William B. Meek. November 7, 1876 3.

William Dutton, 17, first to Evelina Meek, 17, June 25, 1885 and second to Julia Castle, 18, January 7, 1889 8. Benjamin J. Dutton, 22, first to Mary E. Caudill, 20, February 18, 1892 and second to Cynthia Perry, 18, December 25, 1898' Elias served in the Union Army during the Civil War. The Adjutant General's Report of the War Between the States of the Roll of Company " E " Thirty - nineth of the Union Army lists Elias Dutton as being mustered in at Peach Orchard, near Louisa, Kentucky on February 16, 1863 as a Private. This Unit was part of the Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. However on March 8th, 1863, Elias deserted.He was returned to duty on January 1, 1864 and was sentenced by General Courts - Martial to forfit 9 months pay. He served out the remainder of his three year enlistment and was discharged on Sept 15, 1865 at Louisville, Kentucky. I would like to add here that of the 29 Privates in his Unit, 18 deserted at one time or the other. As you can imagine, these were difficult times for everyone. By February, 1870, Elias and his family moved to Wise County, Virginia. The particular aera to which he moved would later become part of Dickenson County, Virginia when it was formed in 1880. They lived in the old Counts Place in theSouth of the Mountain. The Counts Place would later be renamed Counts Ranger Cabin. on February 25, 1870, Elias bought 1053 acres of land from Robert Fields. This land bordered the Forks of Mill Creek, Twin Branch and the top of Cumberland Mountain. The deed to this land however was apparently not filed or recorded until January 1887, probably by Elias' son John. Elias apparently experienced some kind of trouble in Virginia and decided to return to Johnson County, Kentucky. This was perhaps prier to 1872. This move reflected in the 1880 Census of Johnson County, Kentucky which shows John's daughter, Hulda, born in Kentucky in 1872. The 1880 Census of Johnson County, Kentucky lists Elias as head of his household as follows: The following pages chronicle the life, wives and children of ELIAS DUTTON, b. 2 Feb 1832 in Scott Co., VA (located in the southwestern tip of the state of Virginia). Elias was the eldest son of JAMES and MATILDA (Mollette) DUTTON, our g.g.g. grandparents and brother to our g.g. grandfather ANDREW JACKSON DUTTON. In 1852, when James and Matilda left their homestead in Johnson Co., Ky, it was Elias who assumed responsibility for it. He had married Sarah (Sally) (Penix) 11 Sept 1850. Sally was the daughter of Allen (b. 1833) and Sarah Penix. In the years to come, (a span of 29 years) he and Sally had a total of 15 children! They are reported in the pages to follow. Sally died 20 Dec 1882 at the age of 49, leaving Elias with nine children under the age of eighteen. Elias married again 20 Aug 1885 to a widow, Sarah (Sally) West, maiden name Niebert, b. ab. 1836 in VA. This was a second marriage for each of them. They had one child b. in 1887. Elias' second wife, Sally, died 20 May 1889, less than four years after their marriage. She was 53 and Elias, 57. On 30 Aug 1890 Elias married for the third time to Serilda (Preston. Little is known about that marriage except that she died with no children resulting from their union. On 27 June 1905, Elias married for the fourth time to Lizzie Van Hoose, b. 1877. Elias was 73 and Lizzie, 28. Elias and Lizzie (yes they did!) had four children. I've found no records on their names and birthdates, just the fact that they were born, see the records that follow. Elias Dutton died 15 Sept 1917 in Paintsville, Johnson Co., KY at the age of 85. His legacy alone left twenty children, and needless to say, our line of DUTTONS are very much a presence in modern day Johnson County, Ky. Note: Found an Elias Dutton in Soc.Sec. Archive files died in Paintsville, Ky. November 1966. Born 12 June 1896 #403-03-7003. Pr. a g.child of the above Elias. I don't have an Elias recorded as a son. Could be a son since Elias didn't quit having kids until the day he died!, or pr. a g.child.
