Looking for the descendents of SAMUEL JAMES DUTTON who lived in Queensland
Australia.Samuel had a small shop on the north side of Brisbane in about
1880-1920.He had one son that I know of Richard James Dutton who also lived
in the area and was a council worker.Samuel was in the Queensland Light
Horse.He was married twice.It is family thinking that Samuel came from
Ramsgate and his wife came from Margate.Anyone connected out there?Shirley

A small stone sits here on top of my computer monitor. Colin sent it to me
in the mail some time ago. "I picked it up near Dutton Hall," he said. "It's
magic will bring you over to the UK someday to see the ancient homestead for
yourself!" Well, Colin....the 'magic' worked!
I could hardly wait but, at last, that 'magical' day arrived and we made
our way southward to the small village of Ashurst Wood near East Grinstead,
West Sussex. We came first to a stone wall and gate with the words - Stoke

Not a chance!!
So after all that......I still haven't found out what a Knighting Ceremony

Yes, I've seen the "sword blade on both shoulders" bit, but is that just

Did they have a big banquet after such an auspicious event and party all

Hi Phyllis,
I have not had a chance to get back to you of recent and have just been
reading your first three episodes of our great, if not tiring, adventure,
but still good fun.
I will be going to see Mr.Platt tomorrow to return his chart as promised, do
you have any questions for me to ask him while I am there? Of course you
do!!
Just an update to this episode that you may have missed during my
conversation with Mr.Platt as you were somewhat preoccupied with all of the
paperwork that he was showing you
For our visit to Dutton Hall, our group of American Duttons was joined by
several English Duttons. We welcomed Katherine Green and her children as
well as the Charles Duttons - father and son - with their families. Byron
Hadley was with us as well. Quite a nice group!
Now you're in for a special treat. From photos never before seen in the US
you're going to get a glimpse of what Dutton Hall looked like when the
wealthy Dewars family lived there. Byron and I were able to take some
close-up pictures of a s

While reviewing several old papers, I came across the following article. I have
transcribed it for the benefit of any who might be able to use the information. I
have DUTTON relatives that I have been tracing from Pennsylvania to Washington to
Canada and then to Montana. I have retained all capitalization, except for names, and
punctuation as found in the newspaper article.

I have been doing a little reading into the possible early origins of the many DUTTON families of England.
Some of these thoughts may be of interest to list members.
It is well known that the surname DUTTON is derived from a location, ie a village called DUTTON.
The name could have been taken by, or given to any inhabitant or past inhabitant of the village, probably starting in the 13th or 14th century when surnames first came into common use . Example: John (of) Dutton. It does not have to mean any con

> 1) When and why did the Cheshire Duntun become Dutton?
Paul,
I would make a distinction here. The village name may not have changed at
all. Just its spelling became regularized. Prior to the 16th century there
was no "standard spelling" of much of anything. Even less, the names of
people and places. The transcriber simply tried to write down what he
thought he heard. The actual pronumciation may have had a very short and
barely perceptible "n". Also, remember that the Normans (Odard and the next

Enjoying so much the chapters on your Dutton Trip, but so far have not
received any pictures. How does one go about receiving the pictures.
Also is the large chart for sale, too. Caring for my son right now I do
not have time to post, but manage to try to briefly read the posts.

Hi all,
A few years ago when Dick was getting started with his genealogy I gave
him a copy of my Dutton file. It contained about 9,600 names and about 5,000
of them were Duttons. I has just finished entering information from several
sources and my file contained a lot of mistakes. When I gave Dick the copy of
my file, it was with the understanding the file was full of errors and that I
had not verified or corrected any of the data yet. It was also given with
the absolute understanding that the
Phyllis,
Thanks for mentioning me in the Dutton list. Your suspicion was right - I
never got your e-mail. I am at a loss to understand why. I double-checked my
AOL settings and found out I have full access to all internet and e-mail

I wish to personally thank you for the invaluable commentary on your trip.
It was very interesting.

Christopher Hatton, handsome and tall, first caught the attention of Queen
Elizabeth I with his skillful dancing. He had spent several years in a
halfhearted study of the law but in 1564 he enrolled as one of the queen's
bodyguards. Charming and accomplished, he quickly won her affection and by
1572 had become the captain of her bodyguards. She owed her life to him and
he was a loyal protector. She liked his eyes and liked to dance with him!
In 1577 he was made vice chamberlain of her household, a privy c

QUESTION.....those beautiful stained glass windows at Dutton Hall.
I guess we don't REALLY know if they date back to Sir Piers time or not.
My best guess is that they don't ---- that Mrs. Dewars had them created for
those new/larger windows she had installed along the front of the great
hall. Of course, those of the Dutton-Hatton arms are beautiful and belong
on that ancient hall.....but what of that red ROOSTER?? The shield is very
Visiting U.S.A. websites, and reading postings to the Dutton list, The impression given is that the Dutton surname signifies direct descendance from "The Duttons of Dutton"
I thought that the surname derived from an ancestor previously living in one of the villages named Dutton? 99% of these would be craftsmen, traders etc.
I would ask one question - Has anyone actually traced their ancestry back to any of the titled Dutton families?

The towering medieval fortress of Warwick Castle holds a thousand years of
English history. Our tour started outside the wall in the shadow of the
great tower, along the grassy moat where a skilled archer showed off his
talents with an English long bow, the most destructive weapon of that early
age. Armed with one of these 6 ft. long bows - using an armor piercing arrow
shot at a speed of 80 mph, a skilled bowman could easily bring down "a man
of God!" (a knight in armor!) "Give a man a bow," said our b
Hi, cousins and others of like ilk:
The recently published index of Windsor County, Vermont Probate records has a number of Dunton/Dutton entries, which I list forthwith. In addition to what I show here, the book includes the district (two in the county) and the volume(s) in which the records can be found.
