The Duttons of Hatton Did Not Die Out: The Case Against the Rev'd Edward Dutton's Supposition

REA Auditado

In 1810, the leading reference work Magna Britannia implicitly accepted that the legitimate male line of the Cheshire Gentry family called the Duttons of Hatton had died out. This article demonstrates that there is a high probability that the Duttons of Hatton did not die out in the legitimate male line in the eighteenth century. They actually survived through the yeoman family called the Duttons of Waverton and their nineteenth century descendants the Duttons of Stanthorne Hall.

Was Odard, First Lord of Dutton, a Distant Relative of William the Conqueror?

REA Auditado

According to the Dutton tree researched by antiquarian P. H. Lawson, Odard, first Lord of the Manor of Dutton in Cheshire and progenitor of the noted Gentry family the Duttons of Dutton, was related to William the Conqueror on his mother’s and on his father’s side. This article reviews the evidence and argues that Odard was not related to the Conqueror on his mother’s side. Regarding his father’s side, the evidence is perhaps most parsimoniously explained by Odard indeed being a distant relative of the Conqueror’s.

Genealogy of the Morleys in South Wales: Glamorgan and the Vale of Neath from 1700 to 1800

REA Auditado

The first Morleys who can be positively identified in Glamorgan in the eighteenth century lived in the parishes of Llangyfelach and Cadoxton Juxta Neath. Their families are thought to have migrated from Carmarthenshire to Glamorgan early in the eighteenth century though there is no conclusive evidence to support this supposition. Full details of the baptisms, marriages and deaths of their descendants which have been obtained from the parish registers, particularly in the Vale of Neath, are described.

Genealogy of the Morleys in South Wales: Expansion of the Family in the Nineteenth Century

REA Auditado

By the middle of the nineteenth century the Morley family was well established in the counties of Glamorgan and Carmarthen. In the Vale of Neath, the first identified ancestor of this branch of the family, William Morley (L), born around 1726, had several children whose lives have been described previously. This account describes William’s descendants especially his grandson Thomas Morley (N1), whose life is well documented in the parish records. He married Anne Hopkin in Llantwit Juxta Neath in 1803 and they had eight children.

Reconstructed African-American Cemeteries: Colored Masonic Cemetery, Farmington, St. Francois Co., Mo.

REA Auditado

Millions of African-American slaves, former slaves, and freeborn men, women, and children lie in unmarked graves throughout the United States. The Colored Masonic Cemetery in Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri is a case in point. In this Midwestern cemetery in the Missouri Ozarks, there are only approximately eighty-five individuals that can be positively identified. The lack of tombstones creates a void for professionals in anthropology, history, professional genealogy, and African-American studies.

All My Relatives: The Hunka Adoption of Jasper Milk

REA Auditado

This research article infuses anthropological kinship theory with knowledge of traditional Lakota Sioux culture to discover the complex relationships that existed between Jasper Milk, his wife, and his Hunka (adopted) sibling. Offering a critique of the current praxis existing among genealogists conducting research in Native American lineages, the author suggests that genealogical specialization in a single tribe―in contrast to the current practice of all-encompassing ‘Native American research’―increases research success.

Anna's Story

REA Auditado

Bringing to light the lives of the long-departed unknown is an exercise in bottom-up history, wherein the story of ordinary folks takes center stage. Information on such individuals can be hard to find, as is the case for my great-grandaunt, Anna Bosworth. Researching the Bosworth side of the family produced few results; Anna's life after 1910 is a mystery. Could recreating the family tree of her former in-laws lead to the rest of Anna's story?
