Hi Susan and everyone, I'm a descendant of Thomas DUTTON also, and at this time I have not found any proof who Thomas DUTTON parents were or the maiden name of his wife. Torrey suggest that his wife maiden name was PALMER, but I haven't seen his source documention for that suggestion yet. Has anyone seen it that can tell us why Torrey suggest her maiden name was PALMER Savage says that his is perhaps the son of John, but there is no proof. THOMAS, Woburn, perhaps son of John, b. abt. 1621, had first living at Reading, there by wife Susan, it is thot. had Thomas, b. 1648; Mary, 14 Nov. 11 1651; Susanna, 27 Feb. 1654; John, 2 Mar. 1656; but the following prob. at Woburn, Eliz. 28 Jan. 1659; Joseph, 25 Jan. 1661; Sarah, 5 Mar. 1662; James, 22 Aug. 1665; Benjamin, 19 Feb. 166~; removed to Billerica, there was in 1675 with son Thomas and John. His son Thomas was wounded and had remarkable escape in 1677, when Capt. Swett and many of his men were killed in the Indian war at the East. His wife d. 27 May 1684, aged 58, and he m. 9 Nov. following Ruth Hooper. Also found the following: The following notes are from Page 63 of the book entitled, "Genealogical History of the Town of Reading, Mass. - Including the Present Towns of Wakefield, Reading and North Reading - with Chronological and Historical Sketches, From 1639 to 1874", by Hon. Lilley Eaton, Boston, Alfred Mudge & Son, Printers, 1874. DUTTON, Thomas, b. about 1626; 1st wife's name was Susan, she d. 1684, and he m., 2d, 1684, Ruth, dau. of Wm. Hooper. Chil.: Thomas, b. 1648, Mary, b. 1651; Susanna, b. 1653, John, b. 1656; Elizabeth, b. 1659; Joseph, b. 1661, and m. 1685, Rebecca Fitch; Sarah, b. 1662; James, b. 1665; Benj., b. 1669. He removed first to Woburn, and after to Billerica, where he was in 1675. His son Thomas was in the Indian war at the East, and had a remarkable escape in 1677, when many were killed. and also this: Pope says very little . . . from 147: DUTTON, Thomas, Woburn; he deposed in 1658, ae. 39 years. Ch. Thomas, ae. 19, and Mary, ae. 17, in 1667. [Mdx Files]. Ch. Mary b. 14 (9) 165[0], Susanna b. 27 (12) 1653. and Farmer says the same thing as Pope, nothing new. If anyone has a source that proves that John and Mary (NEELD) DUTTON were the parents of Thomas please share it with us. Thomas death [22 Jan 1686/87; Billerica, Middlesex, MA] is also given in History of Jaffrey, NH, Vol II pg 258, [Dutton genealogy]. At this time I have not found an arrival date for Thomas in New England, so right now I do not believe we can said that Thomas DUTTON is the son of John and Mary (NEELD) DUTTON. So I'm asking again if someone has proof of his parents, please share it so we can look at the source. Also in my 20 years of researching my family I can said this Savage has been right 90% of the time, now we just have to prove if he's right or wrong about his remarks about Thomas DUTTON. I really haven't spent much time on the DUTTON's because I just took it that John was his father, now after what we have seen on this GREAT DUTTON List, it's time to really start looking harder into Thomas' background. I hope we all work together on this. Thanks for the time to add my 2 cents, Fred 10:34 AM 7/06/98 ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ Fred Kunchick GSCS[SW] USN Retired Pennsauken NJ kunchick@bellatlantic.net Editor of The Northern KIMBALL On-Line Newsletter Member: NEHGS Camden County (NJ) Historical Society Lo/Lathrop Family Association Kimball Family Association Towne Family Association Home Page: URL: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/7158/index.html Coos County, NH USGenWeb CC.
