From THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and Cope (1881);

pg. 526

DUTTON, John, of Overton, in Cheshire, England, whose wife, Mary, appears to 
have been a sister of Job Darlington, of Darnhall, purchased 500 acres of land 
in Pennsylvania by deed of May 22, 1682, and arrived in the province in the same 
year.  He located his land in Aston, extending across the township, and the 
upper line touching on the western branch of the creek.  He was buried 5,4,1693, 
and his widow soon after married John Neild, of Aston.
  The children of John and Mary Dutton were,-1. John, b. 10,29,1675, at Marbray 
(?), in Cheshire; m. 1704, Elizabeth Kingsman, daughter of John and Hannah, b. 
9,6,1685.  2. Edward, b. 1,18,1676-7, at Overton; m. in 1701, Gwin Williams, and 
settled in Bethel.  3. Thomas, b. 3,3,1679, at Overton; d. with smallpox, 10th 
mo., 1731; m. 1701 Lucy Barnard, daughter of Richard and Frances of Aston, and 
settled on a part of his father's land.  4. Elizabeth, b. 11,27,1681; d. in 
Pennsylvania, 10,23,1682.  5. Robert, b. in Pennsylvania; m. 9,13,1707, at the 
house of her father, to Ann, daughter of
William and Ann Brown, of Nottingham, where he settled.      
He afterwards engaged in trading to the West Indies, and there are reasons to 
think that as the master of a vessel he went to sea about 1725, and was never 
heard of again.
  Thomas and Lucy Dutton had children,-Thomas, Rebecca, Richard, David, Lydia, 
Jonathan, John, Mary, and Sarah.  Of these, Richard married Mary Martin, 
daughter of Thomas and Mary, of Middletown, and had children,-Thomas, Hannah, 
Joseph, Rebecca, Mary Jonathan and Richard. 
Thomas, son of Richard, married Hannah, of the late Thomas Dutton, of Aston, who 
died 9,12,1869, aged 100 years, 7 months, and 10 days.
  A genealogy of this family was published in 1871.
