Hi MiMi,
Your query to the Dutton List was forwarded to the Zachariah Dutton List
group by Susie Rogers. My wife, Betty (Dutton), as she left for work, said
to write you and tell you to "get ready to find a whole passel of your
Duttons". Betty's Stephen Penn was a brother to your Alexander.
Betty said she'd send more information to you later. In the meantime, I
found what Joseph Richardson sent to you and to the group back in July
regarding your posting in GenConnect, and have attached it below.
Unfortunately, the reply was not able to reach you at that time.
Betty was excited to hear from you this morning. "That's MiMi!! That's
MiMi!!!. The one we've all been looking for!!!!!" Then she started grabbing
books to find the references. More later.

Cousins,

I was surfing last night when I ran across a query from another cousin,
and I nearly exploded from excitement. She was the first descendant I
had found from Alexander D. Dutton, who went to Texas and later Oklahoma
(as you recall, I found his grave site just last week). But luck would
have it that something would go wrong-- either she somehow messed up her
return address, or her AOL account has somehow been zapped in the week
since this message was posted. Anyhow, I wrote a long, heart-felt
introduction, only to have it kicked back-- and boy, I was mad.

I meant to post a reply to the message board on which I found the query,
but it was late and I was being bugged to go to bed. Chances are,
anyway, that she wouldn't get that either, with an incorrect return
address (or whatever). So let's hope that somehow we can get into
contact with this lady; this query introduces a new line into the
family. (Any of you on AOL, I would appreciate it if you would do a
manhunt on the Member Directory, and try to track down what happened
with this lady's address.)

Cousin Joe

Here's the original query, posted on the GenConnect GenBBS Dutton
surname message board-- the only Dutton query on the board, by the way,
as it is brand-new. The address is
