In my search for M. O. and Melvin Duttons 1850 CENSUS ILLINOIS, LDS Film 7,674: Adams County, page 307(b), Dwg 148, Town of Ursula, 11 Oct 1850. Thomas Dutton age 37, Con. Preacher valued 800 Sarah M age 33, Anna O. age 8, Aaron V. age 7, and Thomas age 3. All born Tennessee except Thomas born in Illinois. This puts family in Illinois at least by 1847. Adams County is below Hancock at the interesection of Iowa, Missoui, and Illinois. CNL further data on 1860 census or IGI lists, etc. Apparently moved on. I have considerable data for a Melvin L. Dutton of Illinois roots, some from this webb site.
