Hi Bob, I found the paper where I wrote down your father, grand father, etc. 1) Robert F. Dutton, California 2) John Ernest Dutton, b. 13 Oct 1885, and Pearle Howard 3) William Robert Dutton, b. 20 Sep 1858, and Ella Oglesbee 4) Nehemiah Dutton, b. 27 Dec 1830, and Phebe Huntsman 5) Robert Dutton, b. 2 Sep 1788, and Abigail Matson 6) David Dutton, b. abt 1740 and Hannah Rogers Is this correct? Your father was the son of my Great Uncle William (Will)? I have been unsuccessful in finding evidence that he really was a Senator. I am looking forward to hearing from you!!! :))) Carole Dutton Malisiak
