Dear Susan, The sources for the information listed on the web site are pretty much the same as probably all of the others that you have found on the web. As I state on the web site, the accuracy of the information, in my line, is good back to Samuel(l) Dunton. From there back it is not well documented and should be viewed as a "theory" or a "lead to follow up on". For that matter, any published genealogy, or information that you find on the Internet, should be treated in this same manner. Unless they state references, that you can follow up on and verify, the information should be treated in this manner. The first time I saw the theory stated that John Dutton was the father of my Samuell Dunton was on http://genealogy.org/~czech/. The source that he listed for this information was an unpublished work by a John C. Dutton. The information in this work, regarding the link to my family and to the ancient of times was based on "Memorials to the Duttons of Dutton", Savage, and Cope. John C. Dutton had a similar qualifying statement. To date, I do not believe that anyone has produced information regarding this elusive John Dutton -- his passage to the colonies (other that the "Mr. Dutton" statement in Winthrop's journal), his place of burial, property records, church records, etc. If someone has . . . I would love copies. Hope this helps.
