Research Notes
William Gutterson, also spelled Goddason, was possibly from the Island of Jersey.[5]
Per another source, alternate spellings of his last name (Guttason, Goddason, Godderson) suggest he may have been a Walloon (i.e., from Belgium or northern France).[1]
An earlier genealogy conflated some probate records and suggested there was an older man of the same name. Subsequent research shows there was not other man by this name and the probate record in question only mentions this William tangentially' this was the probate record of someone else. There is no evidence that the William Gutterson of this profile was the son of William Gutterson.
