Stephen Hartwell Dutton
     Stephen was born in Vermont, on 2 October 1798.1,2,3,4,5,6 He was the son of Stephen Dutton and Betsey Hartwell. Stephen was probably age 10 and under 16 in Stephen Dutton's household in the 1810 Census taken in Chester, Windsor County, Vermont.7 As a child he was "warned out" of Rockingham, Windham County, Vermont, on 29 November 1814 with Stephen Dutton.8,9 He married Lemira Hodgman in Springfield, Windsor County, Vermont, on 12 September 1816.10,11,12,13,14 Stephen was a head of family, as "Stephen M. Dutton", engaged in agriculture age 16-26, in the 1820 Census taken in Manchester, Bennington County, Vermont.15 Stephen was a head of family, age 30 to 40, in the 1830 Census taken in Rockingham, Windham County, Vermont.16 Stephen was a head of family, age 50 to under 60 and engaged in agriculture, in the 1840 Census taken in Rockingham. A possible composition of the household was Stephen H. age 41, his wife Lemira age 40, and their children Edward 21, Josephus 19, Jasper 17, Plynn 15, Arvilla 13, Horatio 10, Samuel 8, Perrin 6, Stephen D. 4, Edith 1, and Nancy a newborn. Stephen H. and his oldest sons are probably the six engaged in agriculture.17 He was a head of household in the 21 August 1850 census taken in Rockingham, as "S.H.

Hodgman", a farmer age 78, although that this Joseph W. Hodgman and Lemira's brother Joseph Hodgman "III" are the same person is not proved.13 He was a head of household in the 13 June 1860 census taken in Springfield, a farmer age 61; his personal property was valued at $400, the equivalent of $8,200 in the year 2000; Lemira Hodgman resided in the same household, a housewife age 61; as did Ancy Clementine Dutton, doing housework age 18; Thomas Holester Dutton, a student age 16; and Edith Anne Lemira Dutton, as "Edith A. L." age 12 (in error).18 He was a head of household in the 1870 census taken in Springfield, a farmer age 71; his real estate was valued at $800, his personal property at $225, the equivalent of $13,500 (total) in the year 2000; hiis son Josephus lived next door; Lemira Hodgman resided in the same household, as "Lemera Dutton" keeping house at age 71.11 Stephen died on 17 February 1875 in Chester, at age 76.19,20 He was buried in the Summer Hill Cemetery in Springfield.
