Biography

Zachariah Dutton served with Lower Battalion, Charles County Militia, Maryland Militia during the American Revolution.

Zachariah Dutton was born before 1755, probably in Charles County, Maryland. He served in Captain John Parnham's Company of Militia, 12th Battalion, Maryland Militia, during the American Revolution. His first wife is unknown, but he probably married her some time around 1775 in Charles County, Maryland. In around 1795, he and his family migrated to Granville County, North Carolina, where Zachariah lived the rest of his days. He married his second wife, Judith Parrish, the widow of Claborn Parrish, on 23 Nov 1799 in Granville County, North Carolina.^[1]

He died in 1829.

Research Notes

There is conclusive proof, both documentary and genetic, that Zachariah Dutton was not the son of Gerrard Dutton (abt.1732-1790) or any other Dutton. Y-DNA research indicates that Zachariah Dutton's father was not a Dutton.

His will was signed 10 Nov 1828 and probated in August 1829 in Granville County, indicating that he most likely died in the spring or summer of 1829.
