  • Notes 
    • John Dutton of Massachusetts

      Arrival of the Winthrop Fleet and Salem and Boston.

      Massachusetts lists:
      John Dutton and his 10 year old son, Thomas. Arrived with Governor Winthrop, 1630, settled in Reading, Massachusetts.
      ------------------------------------------------------------


      In the the 17th century, two lines of the Dutton family left Cheshire to come to America. As was the case for many other emigrants, the Dutton's were fleeing the religious persecution that came with being Quakers. Although unproven at this time, it is thought the first to come was John Dutton and his wife Mary, who emigrated with their children to New England in 1630 where their line became known as the Dutton's of Massachusetts. It is known for certain that their son Thomas was living in Reading Massachusetts in 1648. [8]
