*First of all - I think I am missing a few names for the list. I will get this fixed if someone will tell me who the names of the last 2 or 3 who joined. How many should I have now? Second of all. I spent the day in North Texas, digging around for Duttons. Scrounging around in those old cemetery records made me realize what a wild, hard country this was. So many records would read like: 3 men killed in Indian Raid - unmarked graves near such & such; or unmarked grave of 8 yo girl who died when wagon train passing through etc etc. Okay. Here are Dutton Birth Records for Wise County Tx 1864-1902. Dutton , Bertha Zone 01/16/1878, female, Lawrence County AL (12357) father - James, born Al; mother - Elizabeth Norton, born Al. Dutton, Clara May 06/21/1894, female, Springtown (7345), father - J.A., born Al; Mother - Mary Abilene Blackwell, born Tx Dutton, Leoda 05/01/1894, female, Keeter (10130) father - James Washington, born Al, Mother - Elizabeth Jane Norton, born Al Dutton, Stephen Elmore 12/15/1895, male, Springtown, (7445) father - James Arthur, born Al, Mother- Mary Abilene Blackwell, born Tx. Apparently, Bertha Zone Dutton, the first birth listed was born in Al, but her birth certificate was not recorded until the family moved to Texas. All other locations listed are in Texas. Springtown was an early address for George Hughes and wife Margaret Dutton.

One Dutton listed in current phone book, small community near Bowie - but I can't find where I scribbled it down. Clerk at the convenience store said there were 2 well known (elderly) Dutton brothers in the area. All for now. Janice
