So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - John Dutton of Overton in the County of Palatine of Chester, Pennsylvania bought land originally from William Penn in 1682. This land was special in the sense it was among the very first purchases of land, for what we know now as the state Pennsylvania. The original amount of land bought for the state was once owned by King Charles ll. The state of Pennsylvania obtained its name from two names placed together. The first being a name William Penn wished to give it and that being, "Sylvania, over ruled by the giver King Charles ll, the King wished to name it in honor of Admiral Penn, the father of King Charles ll, the grantee. The name together resulted in Pennsylvania. William Penn offered this land he owned for sale, at the price of frothy shillings per hundred acres. The last one thousand acres were up for sale and I quote: " The last obtained one thousand acres be deed of lease and release, dated 2nd and 3rd of March 1681-2; and by and Indentured dated 22nd of May 1682, in which he styled "of the County Palantine of Chester, yeoman, " Conveyed one half thereof to "John Dutton of Overton in the said County, yeoman, and Mary his wife"; "for divers goods causes but especially in consideration of the sum of ten pounds." The story seems to assume that Mary's uncle was Thomas Rowland, one of the four major land owners of the newly bought land from William Penn.

Historians believe the name was derived from Aston, a village in Berkshire, England. Prior to about 1687, the area was known as Northley. The first known white settler was John Dutton who in 1682 moved with his family from Chester to what was then considered the "back settlement."
John Dutton purchased property in Pensylvania, from William Penn, before he left England. He was fortunate in that his property was good land and John was able to have a farm that was profitable in the New World.
John was married in England and all of his children were born in England before they migrated to the colonies. His wife being Mary Darlington of England.
No Will or Letters of Administration on the estate of John Dutton senior have been found, and it is not very clear what property rightfully belonged to his sons. The land purchased before leaving England was conveyed to both John and Mary Dutton, and as the survivor she became sole owner. Samuel Hall of Aston, who holds a part of the original tract, as well as the old deeds, thinks he formerly had among his papers a document of the nature of a marriage settlement between John Neild and Mary Dutton, but cannot find it now. It is probable there was some arrangement for securing to her children the joint estate of their parents, but whether this was the case or not, it would appear from the Grand Jury's return of a road laid out 17th of 2 mo., 1699, that three of her sons were in possession of or occupied the 500 acres of land, under some recognized division thereof. The road was laid out for the inhabitants of Concord, Bethell, Burmingham and Thornbury, on lands of Margaret Green, Thomas Green, Edward Penick, Edward Dutton, Robert Dutton, John Dutton, John Baldwin, John Bayles, and William Browne, to Joseph Cocbourn'e mill. Tho land of Edward Dutton was of his own purchasing, while the road did not touch on the share of his brother Thomas. About the year 1702 or 1703, the township of Aston was resurveycd and a draft made showing some of the subdivisions, and from this it appears that Thomas, John and Robert Dutton then held their father's land. It was subsequently confirmed to them by deeds, as will be mentioned hereafter.

John was married in England and all of his children were born in England before they migrated to the colonies. His wife being Mary Darlington of England.
Other early settlers of the area included Thomas Mercer, Nathaniel Evans, Elwood Tyson, and John Neild (circa 1682). Indians were believed to be residing in the area as late as 1770.
In 1682, John Dutton with his wife, Mary Darlington, and their four children came to America and settled on a 500 acre tract in Aston Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania which was adjacent to Philadelphia County. This line, which became known as the Duttons of Pennsylvania, is the one that is documented here.
