Tammie MOSES DUTTON settled in Fulton Co., over 30 years ago; he was born in Maine in 1811; during his boyhood his parents emigrated to Ohio, where he grew to manhood; in 1831 he was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca CURLESS, daughter of Asher CURLESS, of Ohio; of their 11 children 10 are living,-1. Elmira, who married Clark MOTE; 2. Asa, who married Jane BROWNING; 3. Daniel, who married Mary MARKLEY; 4. Jane, who married John THOMPSON (my great great grandparents); 5. Henry, who married Charlotte LEVENGERER; 6. John, who resides on the old homestead unmarried; 7. William, who married Susan LEVENGERER; 8. Mary, who married James RADCLIFFE; 9. James A., and 10. Randolph. Mr. DUTTON was finally laid at rest in the village cemetery, leaving a widow, with a home on 100 acres of valuable land. Also from same book of History of Fulton Co, IL is about my g-g-g-g uncle: DANIEL DUTTON The career of an honorable, dutiful and upright man, allant soldier, a thorough and diligent farmer and an intelligent, patriotic and useful citizen, is illustrated in the enviable record of Henry DUTTON, whose home has long been Section 35, Woodland Township, Fulton County, Ill., and whose birth occurred in Brown County, Ohio, on November 3, 1837. Mr. DUTTON is a son of Moses and Rebecca CURLESS DUTTON, natives of Ohio. Moses Dutton moved from that state to Illinois about the year 1845 and settled in Woodland township, locating near the present home of Daniel Dutton in Section 35, and there carried on farming until the time of his death in 1874. His wife survived him two years, passing away in 1876. Moses and Rebecca Curless Dutton were the parents of ten children, as follows: 1. Elmira, deceased wife of Clark MOTE, who lives in Knox County, Mo.; 2. Asa, who is engaged in farming in Woodland township; 3. Daniel; 4. Jane wife of John THOMPSON, a farmer of Woodland townsh! ip; 5. John and 6 Albert, who also carry on farming there; 7. Henry and 8 William, who died in Knox County, Mo., 9. Mary, who is the wife of James Radcliff, a Woodland township farmer, 10. Randolph, deceased. Moses Dutton, the father, was a very public spirited man, and was always ready to aid in promoting any movements calculated to advance the best interests of the community in which he lived. He was an earnest advocate of the cause of education, and took great pride in the schools of the township and county. In politics he was a Republican and exercised a strong influence in the local councils of his party. Personally he enjoyed the sincere respect and hearty good will of all who came in contact with him in the ordinary walks of life. He and his worthy wife were active members of the United Brethern Church. Daniel Dutton was a lad of about eight years of age when he accompanied his parents from Brown County, Ohio to Fulton County. He has a vivid recollection of the journey and of the party who made it. He well remembers the five wagos which were in use on that occasion, conveying three families, viz: thos of William CURLESS, Bridge KENNEDY, and Moses DUTTON. Daniel was reared on his father's farm and utilized the advantages of the district schools in early youth. He remained at home until August 1862, when he enlisted for three years, or during the Civil War, in Company H, Eighty-fifth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, sharing the fortunes of that regiment in all its arduous marches, sharp skirmishes and hard fought engagements. He took part in the battles of Perryville, Chickamauga, Stone River, Missionary Ridge, Kenesaw Mountain, and Peach Tree Creek. During his entire term of service he was always ready for roll call. He followed Sherman in the March to the Sea a! nd participated in the Grand Review at Washington, D.C., at the close of the war, being mustered out in that city and sent to Springfield, Ill., where he was honorably discharged. Returning home he again turned his attention to the cultivation of the soil, in which occupation he has coninued successfully ever since. His first location when he commenced farming was on the Illinois River bottoms, where he had a tract of 160 acres. This he sold about the year 1881 and purchased 180 acres in Sction 35, Woodland township, where from that time he has made his home. He has been one of the busiest among the agriculturists of the township for more than forty years and has grown old with Fulton county. He has not only been a close and keen observer of the great changes which have taken place in the county, but has been a leading spirit in the wondrous development of its resources. His time and means have always been freely devoted to enterprises in behalf of the public welfare, ! and churches, schools and charitable institutions have found in him a generous supporter, while many a worthy person has received opportune assistance at his hands in the hour of need. Mr. DUTTON was united in marriage with Mrs. Mary MARKEY(nee REED), a daughter of John REED, one of the earliest settlers of Fulton county. He and his family are all deceased. Mrs. Dutton died February 27, 1902. She was suddenly taken sick and, as her husband was also confined to his bed, he knew nothing of her death until a week thereagter. The deceased was a woman of exceptionally amiable traits of character, a faithful helpmate and a tender and considerate mother, manifesting the utmost solicitude for the happiness and comfort of her family. Five children blessed her union with Mr. Dutton namely: 1. Effie, wife of Stewart ROSE, a farmer in Woodland township; 2. Daniel S., who is engaged in farming on the home place; 3. Rebecca and 4. William, who carried on farming, and 5. Randolph, deceased. In politics Mr. Dutton is a prominent and unswerving Republican. Religiously he has belonged for twenty years to the United Brethern Church (of which his departed wife was also a devoted member), and officiated as one of its trustess. Fraternally he is identified with the Grand Army of the Republic. In all relations of life Mr. Dutton has been actuated by a high sense of duty, and his long extended career has been beyond reproach. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2000 19:27:02 -0400 From: Linda M Dietz To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <20000814.192703.-149993.0.ldjdd1@juno.com> Subject: 1920 Census Lima State Hospital Patients Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Taken from 1920 Allen Co., Ohio Census T625\1344 Pg73B E's EARL, Frank age 29y MWS b N.
