My family is deeply rooted in the Green Mountains. I was born and raised there, and visit when I can. Currently I live in exile in Addison, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. You can see my own information here.

My Dutton ancestry is taken from years of research, mostly by others; much of that came into my hands after the death of my grandmother Ruth Dutton (1908-1975) of Springfield. That which she did not discover herself was given to her, probably sometime in the 1930s, by my first cousin thrice removed "Myra" Jacobs (1875-1958) of Saxtons River. She in her turn had research notes and documents that were gathered in the mid to late 1800s, by whom I do not know. The descendants of our "clan's" ancestor Stephen Hartwell Dutton can be seen on this chart.

My Martin family history owes a great deal to my grandaunt "Shirley" Round (1916-living) of Mount Holly, and to a marathon e-mail session among family members in the summer of 2001.
