Penn. >> Joseph I think that you have hit on another clue for me. Everywhere I go, everyone is always trying to make my Edward into Edmund and i have even found some records that list him as Edmund. As it turns out, from your list, Samuel had a brother named Edmund, and Edmund had a son named Edmond (I have seen it spelled that way too.).Now I at least know why there is so much mix up. Just like all these years family telling me that Samuel came from PENN. (always assuming it was the state) and it seems that he really came from a PENN (person). And I bet that Mary Frances Dutton was named after her favorite aunt, my great, great grandma And as for the prolific family...my Dutton (Broach) grandmother had 12 children...grin My mother was the oldest daughter. Great job lining up all the folks and who they came from. I think that this makes most of us fourth cousins and some fifth cousins, once removed. I have a friend who teaches genetics and found out that this is close enough to count....grin. And I got the nicest note from James Dutton. Thanks James. As soon as I get a little spare time from work, we have to talk. Note to Nona...you guessed it. I used an alphabetical O. Will try again and see if this goes. BTW, I love the name Nona. Did everyone on the list receive my profile. Do I have everyone listed correctly? Once we all get nested in, I will transfer a picture of my Dutton Clan to y'all. It was taken during the funeral of EDWARD DUTTON in 1819. Susie, I do not see Artie's name on the list. We must tell her not to be shy. She is our indian cousin who is an avid and careful researcher who has the most marvelous stories to tell. Also, tell me when anyone joins. I am not real bright during these days of learning this new computer 2000 series at work...and will not pick up on the new name to add to the list....smile. Take care dear family and thanks again to Joseph for pulling us all together.

At first I wondered what kind of Pandora's box I had opened in getting all of us talking, but the more I think about it, the better the idea seems. If we all work together and keep the information flowing, we are sure to get more done. I am glad to have contacted each of you--some of you might have never met apart from this group. You never know when that one person you don't know might have the missing link. Of the children of Zachariah Dutton, here is the breakdown of how we all connect: 2 from William: Julie Dutton and myself. 2 from John: Rose Spencer and the Woodworths 2 from Jarrett: Nona Gold and Margaret Kinsley 2 from Stephen: Kaye Shirah and Myra Borden 4 from Edmund: Brenda Nitsch, Janice Roper, Charles Van Bebber, and the Woodworths (Betty descends from both John and Edmund) 2 from Samuel Sneed: James Dutton and Judy Knight 2 missing links: Sonya Mims, who most likely descends from the OTHER Samuel Dutton that was in Lawrence Co., Ala. in 1820--probably related to us sooner or later; and Sue Rodgers, whose Duttons are from Virginia and Maryland--also probably related further on up the tree. That leaves 3 children of Zachariah: Matilda, who never married. Elizabeth married William Bailey; nothing else has been proven. She is Zachariah's "lost daughter". Zachariah Jr., who apparently moved to Brunswick County, North Carolina. He is Zachariah's "lost son". James Dutton may have some leads on following him up... The first thing I noticed was the large number of descendants of Edmund Dutton. This may have something to do with the fact that he had 15 kids. :) [No, can't be that: Samuel had 16.] Whatever the case, Edmund seems to me to be a pretty good place to start our discussion. Let me post a little bit of the information that I have. Then each of you chip in--add, expand, question, comment, discuss--even change the subject. Let's just get the ball rolling. EDMUND DUTTON Born either September 7 or December 7, 1793 [Sep. from tombstone, Dec. from Family Bible of g.dau Willie Edna Hughes Roper (ancestor of Janice and Charles) in Charles County, Maryland, the son of Zachariah Dutton and possibly ? Penn. Died 28 Dec 1882 in Basham's Gap, Morgan County, Alabama [from tombstone and pension records] Married on 7 Mar 1821 in Limestone County, Alabama to Margaret Barnett Ross [from pension record] Fought in War of 1812. Enlisted on 1 Jun 1814 in Norfolk, Va. (or Lunenburg Co., Va.?) Served in Col. William Green's Company and Col. William Palmer's Company out of Norfolk. Discharged 6 Dec 1814. [from military record and pension record] "Went through the war without a wound" according to Mrs. Estelle Smith. Came to Alabama in ca. 1818, possibly arriving with Stephen Penn, who may have been his uncle. Settled in Lawrence County, Ala., where he lived for most of his life. Buried at Friendship Baptist Church in Danville, Morgan/Lawrence Counties, Alabama. [The church is on the county line: the church itself is in Lawrence County, along with part of the cemetery--the older part of the cemetery, including probably Edmund's grave, is in Morgan. I am not completely sure which grave is Edmund's--there are two markers there for him, a new one and an old one. I would suspect that the new one was correct because of its placement; the new marker was probably placed by Mrs. Odie Dutton Hunter, Edmund's granddau., and mother of Mrs. Estelle Hunter Smith. Julie Dutton speculates that the old marker was lost and thrown away, then recovered; someone, not knowing where it went, just stuck it in the ground somewhere. I'm trying to clear this up.] MARGARET BARNETT ROSS Born 1 Mar 1805 in Kentucky [from tombstone and census records] Died 20 Nov 1874 in Lawrence County, Alabama [from tombstone] [the "Barnett" comes from family tradition, given by Mrs. Estelle Hunter Smith to Louie Dutton, father-in-law of Julie Dutton, who gave it to me] Buried at Friendship Baptist Church. 15 children, all born in Lawrence County, Alabama: 1.
