I am looking for information concerning my gggrandfather, SHUBAL DUTTON. My
ggrandfather is his son by second wife, EMILY DEFOE. I would like to find his
parents, as well as parents of and what happened to his first wife, REBECCA
NEY, and their children, Kittie/Kate, Eugene and George. Here is what I have to
date:

The St. Clair County marriage record for Shubal Dutton and Emily Defoe has a
date of 1865 but was altered sometime later to 1861. Civil Pension application
of Oct. 1865 has the date as 1861. Can't be 1865 as he died in 1864. The
pension application filed by Emily Dutton includes the following:
"...the names and ages of her children under sixteen years of age at her
husband's decease, and the place of residence is as follows: Shubal Dutton
aged 4 years. That he had the children by a former wife. Kittie Dutton aged 14
years Eugene 12 years & George Dutton aged, 9 years. That they reside in
Columbus St. Clair Co. Mich. The P.O. address is St. Clair, Mich."
Witnesses to hr affidavit were John MASON and Joseph Brayman, both of St.
Clair.

There is also a marriage record for Emily Dutton as follows:

Spouse:Nathaniel Lenard

The younger Shubal, aka Charles Dutton, is my ggrandfather and I have other
information concerning him and his descendants but always welcome more. I know
nothing about first marriage to MARY J. WADE except it's recorded in St. Clair
County. Seeking information on her as well as family of MARIA JAMES, his
second wife.
