Dear Doug and others, I don't have any proof beyond what was in my first message. I have just started to do genealogy. My family has done little work on the Duttons. Abigail Webster who married John Dutton (b. 23 January 1730) was a direct descendant of Gov. William Bradford and this is the line that they researched and had proof for. I have been research on the net to find John's ancestors. I know that proof is needed and I am looking to find some. So in response to your questions, I don't have proof. See the sites below and follow their links to John Dutton of MA. I know that Fred and Mike are on this list. Where did you get your information from?
