-----Original Message----- Subject: Duttons in MA & GA Thank you so very much for your response. I plan next week to visit the LDS history center here in Placerville. Also now that I have some counties in MA to check into it is a good lead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From areduton@coffey.com I have another reference regard WILLIAM H. DUTTON FAMILY, written by William H. Dutton, Jr., completed by Ralph E. Davison. Book for and microfilm copy. A Ralph Davison of Des Moines, Iowa donated the book and scribbled his address on a first page. The microfilm copy was made 10-26-77. The author states that Thomas, page about 21 (after an attempt to give a history of English ancestors), he relates that John Dutton came to this country in 1630 on the ship "Comet" with Governor Winthrop. Mrs. John Dutton followed a year later . . . Thomas Dutton, son . . . among the early residents of Reading Massachusetts, Woburn, and Billerica. His wife was Mary Neeld; they had sons Thomas, Josiah, Robert, and Samuel. Since this appears to contract some Cope history, I think it might be interesting to toss it on to Dutton-L to see what will erupt. He apparently brings in the connection to William H. Dutton on page 25, or after some documents following page 25, and I do not have the those pages. The microfilm rental will probably be less than $5 and will take two or three weeks to get. The fiche are usually very cheap, but some times take forever to get, unless they have them in stock.
