His parents were: Thomas Absalom Dutton b:June 28, 1846, Bullock Co.,GA. mar: Eugenia N. Foy Thomas d: August 30, 1875 Thomas served in the CSA, 54th GA.Infantry, Co.I The above are all buried in Elam Baptist Cemetery, Egypt, Effingham Co.,GA. Thomas and Eugenia were married in Bullock Co., GA. His parents were: Samuel Dutton & Sarah Hagin. Their names appear on the Bullock Co., Census of 1850. It shows Samuel as age 29 & Sarah as age 31. Thomas, age 3 Sarah, age 2. There is also on the 1850 census Henry Dutton age 61 married to Ann (Cock)? age 49. It states Henry was from Mass. and a carpenter by trade. That age he would have been born in 1789. It also lists the following children: Joseph, 24 Andrew, 21 William, 19 Mary, 15 John Welsey, 13 Overton, 10 Martha, 7 Since Samuel was 29, I am wondering if he was his older son. Interested in knowing Henry Duttons birthplace and any information about him in Mass. and when he came to Bullock Co. Hoping someone can help me with these names and places. Thanks, Jackie in California
