Dutton Surname DNA Project

From Joseph's Wiki

Overview

The Dutton Surname DNA Project at Family Tree DNA is a group DNA project devoted to studying the DNA lineages of people named Dutton. Founded in 2003, it is among the oldest family group DNA projects. It has identified at least ten different Y-DNA lineages of Dutton families.

Lineages

E Haplogroups

E-L17 – Zachariah Dutton of Maryland and North Carolina

13 Y-DNA testers, including three Big-Y 700.

3 major branches in all.

Zachariah Dutton was born around 1750 in Charles County, Maryland, where a Dutton family had been living since 1680. But Zachariah Dutton's Y-DNA does not match the main Dutton family, indicating that he was possibly an out-of-wedlock birth, a thesis supported by autosomal DNA matches between Zachariah Dutton's descendants and the descendants of Matthew Dutton of Charles County. After years of research, it now appears likely that Zachariah's father was a member of the Thomas family of Charles County.

I Haplogroups

I-M170 – Australian Dutton

Only one test at Y-DNA25 (#6687) has been conducted. No names or other information available on this lineage, other than it claims to have come from Staffordshire, England.

I-M223 > I-L623 – Ohio Duttons

Three Dutton men tested, one at Y-DNA11 and two at Y-DNA25. Two men named West also match. I have limited information on this lineage, but these lines appear to be documented:

  • Stephen Dutton, born 22 Jun 1797 in Delaware, died 12 Nov 1855 Perry, Ohio, married Melora Gray.
    • Isaac Dutton, born about 1847, Ohio.
      • 1 tester, #101411 (Y25).
  • William Dutton, born 7 Feb 1815 in Ohio, died 3 Sep 1846, Athens, Ohio, married Juliann King.
    • Enos Sprague Dutton, born 25 Dec 1845, Athens County, died 3 Sep 1846 Kingman, Kansas, married Martha Jane Bullard.
      • Charles Walton Dutton, born 27 May 1868 Decatur, Iowa, died 26 Oct 1959 Kingman, Kansas.
        • 1 tester, #6699 (Y25).
    • Unknown line
      • 1 tester, #8779 (Y12).
  • William West, born 5 Jun 1802 in Pennsylvania, died 15 Jul 1884 in Chester, Penn., married Sarah.
    • Thomas H. B. West, born 1835 Chester, Pa., died 1900 Chesterfield, Va., married Hannah Scott.
      • 1 tester, #883325 (Big-Y 700).
    • Unknown line
      • 1 tester, #146346 (Y67).

3 lines in all.

I-M253

Hanson Dutton of Loudoun, Virginia (b. 1799)
  • Hanson Dutton, b. 3 Sep 1799 Loudoun, Va., d. 13 Jun 1888 Washington, Ohio, md. Elizabeth James.
    • Smith W. Dutton, b. 7 Apr 1825 Washington, Ohio, d. 19 May 1898 Washington, Ohio, md. Marilla Ogle.
      • Ralph William Dutton, born 14 Oct 1851 Washington, Ohio, d. 15 Jun 1910, Franklin, Ohio, md. Emma Fidella Smith.
        • 1 test, #332304 (Y37).
    • Unknown line
      • 1 test, #300594 (Y37).

Two men tested, both at Y-DNA37.

A third "California Dutton" is also haplogroup I-M253 but does not match the Hanson Dutton line. I know no other information on this lineage.

R1a Haplogroups

R-M198

Two lineages of this haplogroup who don't match each other, don't have matches to other Duttons.

  • Charles Norbert Dutton (b. 1860s-70s in U.K., migrated to India)
  • Joseph Thomas Dutton (1839-1903), born in West Indies, may have been spelled Dotten or Dottin.

R-M512 – Derting-Darting-Dutton of Wythe County, Virginia

  • Johann Adam Derting, born 6 Jun 1720 Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, died 5 May 1776 Shenandoah, Virginia
    • Philip Gerard Derting, born 1735 Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, died 20 May 1776, Dunmore, Virginia
      • Adam Darting (Dutton), born 6 Mar 1770 Augusta, Virginia, died 10 Oct 1833 Wythe, Virginia; married Catherine Steffey
        • Adam Dutton Jr., born 28 Mar 1791 Wythe, Virginia, died 22 Jun 1871 Wythe, Virginia; married Elizabeth Huddle
          • David Dutton, born 21 Feb 1818 Wythe, Virginia, died 26 Sep 1854 Washington, Virginia; married Susannah Cormany
            • George Washington Dutton, born 1 Sep 1854 Tennessee, died 23 Jul 1942 Roane, Tennessee; married Susan Jennie Crow
              • Samuel William Dutton, born 22 Aug 1880 Tennessee, died 24 may 1952 Loudon, Tennessee; married Nancy Alma McNabb
                • Tester #80466, Y-37
      • Unknown line
        • Samuel Dutton, born about 1806 in Virginia, died about 1852 in Cherokee, Alabama; married Dicy J. Seymour
          • George W. Dutton, born about 1849 in Cherokee, Alabama; married 1921 Anniston, Calhoun, Alabama; married Ann Whatley
            • Tester #187081, Y-37

Two tests on this line, up to Y-DNA37. I would like to see this line expanded to Big-Y 700.

R1b Haplogroups

R-DF98 – Cheshire, Pennsylvania, Maryland Duttons

The R-DF98 "Kings' Cluster" Dutton lineage has emerged as the most prominent documented Dutton lineage, which is claimed by both the Dutton family of Pennsylvania and the Duttons of Charles County, Maryland, as well as several English Duttons with documented descent from Cheshire. Notably, several branches of men with the surname Warburton also match this lineage, offering the tantalizing possibility that this line proceeds from Odard of Dutton, the founder of the Duttons of Dutton.

R-M269

Massachusetts Duttons: Thomas Dutton, b. 1621 in England, d. 1687 Middlesex, Mass.

Seven matching tests on this line, three at Y-DNA11, one at Y-DNA37, d three at Y-DNA67. I would very much like to seeis line tested further.

Thomas Dutton is supposed to have been born in England, but does not match the Pennsylvania-Maryland Duttons.

Dutton-Dunton, various lines

Five tests whose matching status is uncertain: One line tested at Y-DNA11 matches the others but may not match further out. One at Y-DNA25 with claimed Cheshire descent matches another at Y-DNA111 (confirmed to be haplogroup R1b-P312) with no other information given. Two others at Y-DNA37 don't appear to match. I would appreciate more information on these lines.

R-P311 – John Dutton, born ca. 1774 South Carolina

Three tests, including one Big-Y 700, who descend from this John Dutton, with a possible connection to Jeremiah Dutton in South Carolina. The other two tests are at Y-DNA25 and Y-DNA37.

Curiously, there are several Warburton men who match this line at Y-DNA37.
