Becky, here are my thoughts: >The first group of 3 pages is titled "Duttons of Dutton" and is a >hand-drawn chart beginning with Ivron? and listing 6 sons-Nigel, Geffry, >Odard or Hudard, Edord(Edward), Horswin,and Wolfaith with a notation that >these 6 brothers accompanied their uncle Hugh Lupus into England in the >--ain of William the Conqueror their great-uncle. From Odard it lists HUGH >and so on. The first section in Gilbert Cope's "Genealogy of the Dutton Family of Pennsylvania" is titled "Early History of the Dutton Family" and quotes extensively from Peter Leycester's "Leycester's Historical Antiquities" about the Dutton ancestry. The pages which contain the pedigreee are titled "The Duttons of Dutton" on the top. Other sources also cite Leycester for some of their Dutton pedigree. I wouldn't be surprised if the information on the handdrawn chart you have wasn't taken from Leycester, Cope, or similar secondary source. >It follows the chart we recently received for a while and there >are minor discrepencies and it becomes harder to trace the two together. >It ends in the mid 1700's with Hamiah?, Sibel b 1747, Thomas b 1750, >Elizabeth b 1752 md. John Pulsipher(a notation "my second >great-grandfather"), Timothy b abt 1754, Silas chr 1737, Mary chr 1737. >There is a notation on the last sheet "David H. & Ada Wood made this chart >for my mother Mary Ann M. Cook 1936. The DUTTON line is proven correct, and >accepted. Most of temple ord. have been performed." Someone also continued >these trees in pencil onto the back of the pages. This part sounds like it was - at least in part - the result of some original work by David and Ada. Who was David and Ada's ancestor who emigrated from England to America and when? If that immigrant was not John Dutton and your Dutton ancestors trace back to an immigrant in the mid1700s, then that would increase the possibility that the connections are original work of David and Ada. >The next set of 10 pages is titled "The Duttons of New England" and appears >to be a compilation of a larger tree. It begins with John Dutton came in >1630 but I (James Savage) know not where he sat down.......Thomas Dutton of >Weburn, Mass. Perhaps a son of John, was born about 1620 in England; d Jan >22, 1667 aged 47 [it continues about this date being mistaken based on >other info] ..and lists the following children: Thomas,Mary, Sussanna, >John, Elizabeth, Joseph, Sarah, James, Benjamin". This part certainly sounds like it comes pretty directly from Cope's book beginning on page 107 in a section titled "The Duttons of Connecticut". >It continues on page >8-10 with the family of Bruce Allen Dutton and I believe Margaret Herron >Dutton b April 13, 1882 d. June 17, 1945 and there are entries of births up >to 1975. The last page discusses an Orson Henry [Dutton?] divorcing Beth >and marrying Opal Smith, then divorces her and marries Vivian Aubrey Kirk. >He gets divorced and marries Josephine (unknown) in Canada and had a >daughter named Montana Josephine[Dutton]. This sounds like original work. Does it link Bruce Allen Dutton firmly to one of the descendants of Thomas Dutton of Connecticut? Or are they just distinct and separate pages? >The next set of three pages is titled "The Dutton branch of the Austin >Family as compiled by Cort E. Dutton", June 25, 1939. This is a narrative >and enters the Dutton line with Bettie Austin marrying Grove Henry Dutton >of Volney, New York. There were eight children: Ralph 12/19/1880, Bruce >4/13/1882, Bessie 11/25/1884, Orson 7/5/1886, Grove Henry Jr. 4/25/1889, >Cort Edgarton 12/5/1890, Ruth Sophia 12/7/1892 and Anna Pauline 7/26/1895. >Much of this is a discussion of these children and their relocations, often >in Montana. > >My husbands ggrandfather was Leonard DeLos or DeLos Leonard Dutton born bef >1875, grandfather Allan Phillip Dutton b 9/6/1900 in Langdon, ND d. >3/18/1994 in Gold Creek, MT; mother Kathleen Fern Dutton b 1/22/1928 in >Hughenden, Alberta, Canada d.5/8/1986 in Missoula, Missoula, MT m Herbert >Maier 2/14/1923. This all sounds like it is original work that has not been published. How lucky to find such material. It was just sitting there waiting for you to discover it! Doug Hall
