    3. Hi Gang.... I'm back from my weekend to Aston Twp.......and what fun it was!! I've much to tell you - and pictures to show - and family stories to share. Not sure all of you are interested in "Pennsylvania John" but I guess you can hit the delete button if you're not. I have gathered some wonderful old maps and news clips about the family. The name Dutton is all over the area....Dutton Road, Dutton Mill Homes, Dutton Mill Road, Dutton Mill Shopping Center!! The story of the Dutton family in that area becomes much more understandable when you can actually see the lay of the land and where the different properties were located and where the Quaker Meeting that they attended was located. Among other stories, I think you'll enjoy seeing/hearing about the landing along the Delaware River where the Duttons disembarked after their long journey from England....and the house of a friend, Caleb Pusey (still standing) where they may have stopped briefly before heading up the Indian Path along the creek to their new land. Unfortunately....for the "rest of the story" you're gonna have to be a little more patient. I leave town again tomorrow on a business "thing" and don't have time to tell you much tonight. But I think it'll be worth the wait! ;-) phyllis ps.....it was COLD in Philadelphia.......glad to get back to warm Atlanta!! ...see ya early next week!
