DUTTON FAMILY: WILLIAM HAMPDEN (1805-1849), FREDERICK HANSBOROUGH (1812-1890), pastoralists, and FRANCIS STACKER (1818-1877), politician, were the first, third and fifth sons of Frederick Hugh Hampden Dutton, British vice-consul and agent for packets at Cuxhaven, Germany. A fourth son, Pelham John Richard Dutton, who arrived in Sydney in 1834 and engaged in pastoral pursuits in the Monaro district of New South Wales, and later in business in Adelaide, is not to be confused with Captain William Dutton of Portland. William chose to pursue the science of rural economy in Prussia, and after completing his formal studies travelled through Prussia, Saxony and Silesia observing the management of sheep and becoming well versed in the development of fine wool from inferior stock. His first employment after arrival in Australia in 1826 was with the Australian Agricultural Co., as superintendent of the company's flocks at Retreat Farm, thirty miles from Sydney, but later in that year he turned to Alexander Riley for whom he had selected 200 pure-bred Saxon merinos. For some time he worked with Edward Riley at Raby before returning to Europe in 1827. Next year he made an agricultural tour through Switzerland and Germany, and studied the cultivation of the vine, the olive and dried fruits in southern France. He thought of emigrating to Swan River in 1829, but his father had insufficient capital to start him as a settler, so he applied through the Duke of Cambridge for a colonial appointment. Unsuccessful he borrowed £2000 from Alexander Riley and sailed with his brother Frederick for Sydney where they arrived in March 1830. He then managed Raby for Alexander Riley until he took possession of his land grant at Goodradigbee in 1831.
