So, Jennifer, you are back to me again!!� My Duttons were the only Duttons that I know of in S.Carolina.� And I don't remember what I have sent you already.� So here it is (again, if I've already written you this): First I will send you a copy of land and court records then elaborate on Jeremiah and Daniel.� I really believe that your Henry is connected to Daniel's children who went to Elbert/Hart Co. in early 1800s.� Some of them were across the state line in Anderson Co. S.C.also. ������ SOUTH CAROLINA CENSUS INFORMATION Note:� Prior to 1773 land records, Jeremiah resided in Botetourt County, Va. where he was listed on a Tithables List in 1771 and had a land grant.��� In file. Revolutionary War records for Jeremiah Dutton lists residence in Spartanburg Co., S.C.� I have seen Jeremiah's name spelled Doulton, and Dolton on several Rev.War Indexes.� His records however read Dutton. 1779 Dist. 96th, South Carolina Census: Jeremiah Dutton listed.� No family information given but does establish his residence in S.C.� Land records for Jeremiah begin in 1773 in Spartanburg Co. See below for land record information. 1790 S.C Key code:� Five categories:� (l)� free white males over 16 incl. head of household ����� (2) free white males UNDER 16 ����� (3) free white females incl. heads of household ����� (4) all other free, mulatto, blacks and Native Americans ����� (5) slaves GREENVILLE, S. CAROLINA 1790 Census information on: �Jeremiah Dutton� 03� 00� 03� 00� 00�� page 69 of census records Conclusion:� In 1790 Jeremiah had the following children residing with him: ��� 2 males over 16 plus himself = 03� Known sons:� Samuel and John (b. abt 1775) ��� 0 males under 16 ��� 2 females plus a wife�������������� =03 Total of 4 children still living at home.� In 1790 Jeremiah would have been abt. 40-45 years old, so it is� conceivable that there were older children not living at home anymore since Jeremiah and Daniel were the only ones appearing on the S.C. census.� It is possible that older children had moved out of S.C. but that remains to be seen. In that same census appears: �Daniel Dutton� 02� 01� 02� 00� 00 Conclusion:� In 1790 Daniel had the following children residing with him: ��� 1 male over 16 plus himself = 02�� page 69 of census record ��� 1 male UNDER 16���������������� = 01 ������������������ 1 female plus a wife������������� = 02 NOTES: The male child over 16 would have been born bef. 1774.� The male child under 16 had to have been born between 1775 and 1790.� The female child could have been born whenever!� The 1790 Census records do not provide much information. The assumption is made at this point that Jeremiah and Daniel were brothers.� It should be noted here that I have a land record in 96th District of Greenville Co., for James Dutton for 100 acres on the middle Tyger River on Beaver Dam Creek near where Daniel Dutton lived.� James did not purchase the land until 1792, which could explain why James did not appear on the 1790 census.� If that were the case, it would be probable that he is the one male over 16 living with Daniel on that census.� OR, he may have just been passed over when the census was taken and been a brother to Jeremiah and Daniel. Note:� I am exploring the possibility that two Duttons, James and Thomas, who participated in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery from Elbert County, Ga. were sons of Daniel.� Elbert County adjoins Abbeville County, S.C. and was in close proximity to Greenville and Spartanburg Counties where Jeremiah and Daniel were in 1790.� LAND RECORDS IN GREENVILLE AREA, S. CAROLINA FOR DUTTONS.� Unless otherwise noted, the following records were drawn from (and copies are in file) hands-on research at County courthouses in both Spartanburg and Greenville Counties, S.

Note:������ Dempsey Dutton, b. abt 1812 in Georgia is found on the 1850 KY Census Record in �Russell County.� (Another Dempsey Dutton is found on the 1850 Meriwhether Co. GA.) � �Russell County, KY 1850 census records. �Dempsey, age 38, wife Elizabeth age 39, Ch.� Artimissa 19; Nancy 15; � Lucinda 16; James 12; William 10; Christian (m) 8;� Martain 6. � South Carolina 1800 CENSUS RECORDS Jeremiah nor Daniel appear on this record.� The only Duttons were: John Dutton in Abbevile, 96th District.� This district also includes: �Edgefield, Newberry, Laurens and Spartenburg, all formed in 1795. I have not viewed this census so do not know anything further� than what is written. It is assumed that this John Dutton is s/o Jeremiah and Sarah Dutton.� There is some discrepancy, however, because John is listed with a wife.� The birthdate I have for his wife, Susannah Stepp, is abt 1787.� Its possible that her birthdate is earlier, or its also possible but not probable that this is not our John Dutton.� He could have had a first wife other than Susannah.� More needs to be done to clear this up. After 1800 there don't appear to be any Duttons in S.Carolina with the exception of a Samuel Dutton in Horry County in 1820.� This was Samuel Sneed Dutton, s/o Zachariah Dutton of Granville Co. N.C. (before that Maryland)�� More Duttons appeared in S. Carolina in later years, but none I see that descended from our line. It appears the Duttons made a mass exodus from South Carolina about 1796 when Jeremiah sold his land and shortly after 1800 assuming the John Dutton on that census is ours. I'm sticking my neck out on this one, so...... Although there is much to be proven I believe Jeremiah and Daniel were sons of William Dutton/ s/o Edward and Gwin Williams Dutton of Chester Co. Pa.� Edward, of course, was a son of John Dutton who came to Pa. in 1682.� William was in Chester Co. as late as 1831 when Edward died.� According to Cope however William must've been away from Pa (whereabouts unknown, as his father did not know if he was alive when he wrote the will)� Between 1831 and Jeremiah's birth in 1740-45 it is unknown where they were.� I've found very little to substantiate this information, so if someone can help and/or dispute my theory, please come forward!!!� Jeremiah starts showing up on tithables lists in Botetourt Co. Va., along with a David Dutton.� I have found an Edward and a John Dutton on census records in Botetourt Co. as late as 1840 and I believe they are connected. According to DAR records Jeremiah died 19 Apr 1819 in Tennessee.� He had remarried at that time to a Susannah Stovall.� I have ordered those records from DAR and will update this list when I receive more info. Hope this helps someone, please stay in touch with me on any FINDS!!� Sue � � JensGen@aol.com wrote: > Would like to find out more informatoin about the Duttons of South Carolina. > > Does anyone know where they were from? > > Happy New Year! > Jennifer �
