Eula, Thank you for responding and for you info. The Duttons that you mention, I'm pretty sure are Susie's. They could also be mine, but as of now I am not aware of that. I think that my Duttons belong to Susie's Jeremiah/Daniel Dutton group out of the Greenville/Abbeville/96th District SC and NC area. I can't find their father's name because by time the 1850 census rolls around, he is already dead. His children's names(that I am aware of----as there could be more) are Wiley J., Patrick, Thomas Benton, Louise E., Rebecca, and Alisare(Sarah?). They sound like normal enough names, but there is some Indian involvement as I was told by grandma Dutton that they were 1/2 Cherokee. Their offsprings names were Ephram, John, James, Wiley J, Rebecca, Oscly, Mary, Clayton, Marion, Franklin, Sarah, Elizabeth, Silas Benton, Malitha Ann, Chesley, and William. They broke away from the Indians and lived as whites. The mother's name was Mary but don't know her maiden name. She is dead after 1860 and her husband, unknown papa Dutton, was dead by 1840. All the siblings and the parents were born in SC/NC border area. They moved around alot, ended up in DeKalb/Jackson County, AL, Franklin County, TN, Sewanee area, and Dade County, GA. Some moved on to Conway County, AR, Lick Mountain Township. I think that they may have been in the Polk/Bradley County, TN area for a while, also. I know what Joe means when school starts. I also am a teacher and have only 3 weeks left, as we start here in IL the 20th of August. I am trying to get as much done as I can this summer. Thanks for all of your help. Artie
