My Genealogy program is GEDCOM compatible. Sounds as if the >folks in the group have done quite a lot of research. One of the folks was >hoping I could help back beyond Zachariah, Sr. But, as you know, I had never >been beyond James Dutton until you contacted me. My files are strictly James >Dutton descendants and the descendants of Jarrard's son Zachariah at this >point. I have fairly complete files of William Dutton Family (James's son) to >present generation. But will be happy to contribute that to anyone who needs >it. > Heard today from Alice Dutton Freeman, gg granddaughter of Jarrard Dutton's >and his son Zachariah. There are some good family oral history stories of >Civil war times from her. She is interested in having a contact with the >Brown family (Zach's sister Mary Dutton who married John Brown and moved to >Mississippi). If you have a contact name and address, I would pass it on to >her. She remembers when some of them visited Walker County years ago, but has >no addresses at this time. Since Zach died in the Civil War when her >grandfather Simeon B.was very young, and Simeon B. died before her father was >born, contacts and connections with the Dutton part of her family have largely >been lost until we began corresponding. > A Civil War Descendants Society whom I paid to do some research for me sent >me a list of all the Duttons who served with the Confederacy and the units >with which they served. Lots with the same names from AL, TX, NC, VA, SC, >etc. Can share any names anyone is interested in. This may be available on >the net somewhere, but I am new to this world and haven't located sites for >this yet. > While on vacation in Hill County, TX in January I got a Dutton name from the >phone directory, Milford Dutton. A descendant in CA answered my letter after >it was forwarded to her (or him - name is Georgie). Their last known >descendants were from Gwinnett County, GA and the generation before was said >to have been born in NC. Thought they might be more directly connected to my >Duttons as my grandfather spent 18 years in Hill Co, TX while his children >were being born. But so far can't connect. These Gwinnett County Duttons >were George W. and Andrew Jackson Dutton (brothers). > Glad there is a descendant of Elizabeth Dutton Hamilton in the group. One of >the descendants of that family sent some information to my cousin Luella >Morrison two or three years ago. Will be interesting to see how our files >match. > Hopefully I will soon get these medical concerns that are preoccupying me out >of the way. Have a 7 years old Michigan granddaughter coming to spend 10 days >beginning Thursday, so this along with more lab work and oral surgeries etc. >may be slow getting into this. That does not indicate a lack of enthusiasm. >My Dutton history seemed to have really slowed down and now it seems to be in >the jet stream! Will hear from me again! Feel free to send this on to the >group. I will get my mailing list ready soon. Eula Dutton >Coleman > JTR: Eula, I'll be happy to have you join.
