Now that we have determined that the Samuel Dutton found in Lawrence
Co.AL 1820 or earlier (he died there in 1823) is not a son of Zachariah
Dutton, who WAS he???
Artie asked about Thomas Dutton who married Mary Brooks and he was one
of Samuel's sons. One of our members, Sonya Mims, descends from this
line. I know that I have corresponded with a couple of his
decendants. It must've been a bit of a shock when Judy's Samuel in Anson
Co.NC turned out to be the Samuel. (The fact that I was in contact for
several months with Judy, then met Joseph on line and was able to put
the two of them together is wonderful testimony to how much we can
accomplish by networking!!!)
Here is what little I have on Samuel Dutton of Lawrence Co. AL. And I
concur with Joseph's theory that he and Aaron Dutton who went to Blount
Co were somehow connected. And it certainly seems to follow that this
Samuel is SOMEHOW connected to Zachariah's kids who came to Lawrence Co
shortly after he did!! But, alas, connecting the dots...the
eternal quest!!

information that Aaron came from Pennsylvania.)

There are a couple of loose (possible) connections here to the Aaron
Dutton who went to Blount Co: Samuel names a son Aaron. And his
daughter, Margaret Dutton, marries a Rhodes as does one of Aaron's
daughters, Harriet.
Now back to Joseph's info on Aaron. I've been trying to figure out when
Aaron's family came to Blount Co. (and if indeed Aaron himself ever left
TN or it was just his children who did) I do know that the marriage of
Hardin Dutton and Susannah Elliot took place in Blount Co and I'm
waiting for a gal to send me the correct date. It's pretty obvious that
if Hardin was born abt 1815 he didn't get married in 1824!! And I don't
believe the birthdate of 1820 in TN on Susannah is correct. I will
update you all when that info comes in. Here is what I have on Aaron
Dutton:

Joseph, the information you had states that most of Aaron's children
were married
in TN meaning the family did not come to Blount until (if you believe)
after 1835??? I do have information on two of these children, Hardin
and Samuel I, that they married in Blount Co. AL. So I would
tentatively place the arrival of the Aaron Dutton family in Blount Co
between the years of 1819 (last child Mahala b. 1819 in TN) and 1827
(first child married in Blount Co.)
If anyone has any more information on these two families I would love to
hear about it!!
James in NC!! What a great story about Samuel hitting Zachariah with a
pan and leaving home!!! Now I think I remember hearing from Judy
(another grandchild of Samuel Sneed Dutton on our list) that Samuel met
Elizabeth in Anson County while peddling pans (?) and other goodies
across NC and SC??
Hope this information helps to sort out some of the Duttons in
Alabama. If anyone has any more information on these two families I
would love to hear about it!!
