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.

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.

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

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.

Massachusetts Duttons: Thomas Dutton, b. 1621 in England, d. 1687 Middlesex, Mass.
Thomas Dutton is supposed to have been born in Chester or Gloucester, England, supposedly from the line of the Duttons of Dutton, but his descendants do not match other known Cheshire Duttons, either the Pennsylvania-Maryland Duttons or the South Carolina Duttons.

Francis Dutton, Pennsylvania > Ohio
Gilbert Cope supposed Francis Dutton was a son of Kingsman Dutton (b. 1711) and Anne Routh, but Y-DNA does not bear this out, at least not with a biological connection. It is possible that Cope received mistaken information, or it is possible that Francis was an adopted or foster son.

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-DF13 – Cheshire > Early South Carolina Duttons
This line descends from a Dutton family which can first be documented in the Old Ninety-Six District of South Carolina around the 1770s. In the past, this line has been associated with Jeremiah Dutton, shown on early Ninety-Six District tax lists and censuses, but I have found no conclusive evidence tying this line to Jeremiah Dutton.
This line shows strong of having origins in Cheshire, England. These testers show more distant Y-DNA matches (primarily at Y37) to men with documented Cheshire origins, including men named Marsh and Warburton. Several other match names have origins in Lancashire and Yorkshire.
