Dear Susie,
As quoted from the Family History Center Salt Lake.

December 1792. "Thomas Dutton, a minor 20 years of age; James, a minor
about 18 years of age and Matilda Dutton, a minor 14 years of age
request th court to appoint Mary Dutton, sister as guardian of the three
minors."
(The two daughters of Gerrard Dutton)

Please post this to the ZDutton group, hope it helps.

Thomas Thompson,
of James, James, Gerrard, Mathew, Thomas

In my searching I found that Gerrard Dutton had two daughters (unnamed).  Do you suppose that one of them could have been this Eleanor????  It could have been that Z.Dutton married a Penn and John Penn married a Dutton.  To me this thickens the plot.  As I said this could be information that you already have but if anyone has anything to add to this I would like to have it.
