[@StormAF]

I had the same feeling about this. Duttons seem to truly want to keep the land as is and make as much peace with the native Americans as possible. The younger generations are making it harder. If it ends that way, it will remain in both…. The Dutton Family and back to the natives. ♥️

[@carolinagoldbug983]

@@aegonbreakspear9102 If you want to consider “America” as the United States, then those who are born here are “Native Americans”. So I think “Native Americans” is a misnomer if you try to just apply it to the tribes and confederations which were present here during European expansion. I’m as “Native” American as anyone else living here……including those referred to as “Indians” or “First Nations” or by tribal name or what-not.

I realized how unusual it is to say you knew someone from the 1800’s after talking to my kids about him and they were shocked cause you know I’m from the 1900’s and that’s old lol. My great grandfather would talk about a farm in Queens NY they would go to and riding a horse and buggy down the city street with his family.

James Dutton has to be at least 40. More likely 50. He was a Captain in the Confederate Army during the civil war which ended in 1865, 18 years prior to the shows timeline.

[@b.larson3151]

The storyline math for Margaret's age is 35. Actors can pretend to be any age they want, but 35 is a huge stretch of believability for 54 year old Faith & Tim. For sake of story and great acting, have to let it go, Further complicated when James and Margaret haven't aged in the 1893 fashback. I need to accept it like "The Simpsons" that never age I guess. The production design and make up is so good, I guess I want the age accuracy to be good as well. Definitely a good point about James needing to be 40 or 50.

Tate becomes the heir of the Dutton Ranch and to secure the land, protecting it from development, he strikes a deal with the Broken Rock Indians. I believe he will likely sign away 3 to 400,000 acres to broken rock only keeping a small portion 100,000 acres or so for continued usage. The tribe will likely lease that land back to the Dutton’s at a minimal cost under the agreement that they will always work together to protect the land.

I later found out through genealogy that his 4th great grandfather was a famous Cherokee chief. There’s even a painting of him in Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa. One of my aunts said she could remember my great grandmother being Cherokee also. (My mom was the youngest & didn’t really remember her grandparents).

[@WickedFireBird69]

I feel like fans are taking that whole "7 generations rise up" thing a little too far. There are two things I have yet to see addressed in the breakdown of that line: first and foremost is technically we are sitting at 8 generations of dutton if we include Tate. Frankly I feel like Sheridan is setting that up to mean Tate will inevitably inherit the land once belonging to his ancestors and thus fulfill that prophecy. Secondly, I feel as though the whole point of Elsa falling in love with Sam was to show the connection that tribe and the family share going all the way back to the beginning of the families journey to that land. Elsas spirit resides with that place as does rhe entire Dutton family, Sheridan understands the sacred traditions of the native culture, I don't think he would go as far as to just not have the characters recognize the spots importance. Tying everything back to Tate and him being the bridge between the two worlds Elsa and Sam never got to see.

I picked what I still believe will be the final outcome to Yellowstone from the first scene that Dutton (ie. the Costner character) shares onscreen with Chief Rainwater: when the Chief says that his ambition is buy back the whole Yellowstone valley and add it to the reserve lands. He talks about X billions (I cant recall the exact figure) and about 30 years. To me it has been obvious to me since then what the end game will be: beset by developers on one side, eminent domain pressure from government, with the feds actually paying ranchers to not produce cattle over a certain quota, with Beth showing no interest in taking over, Jamie effectively cast out from the family and with Casey showing more interest in pursuing his own families destiny via the tribe: John Dutton will sell about 75% of the whole of the Dutton Yellowstone ranch to the tribe, who will incorporate it into the federal reservation and thus save the land from the rapacious reach of developers and government. I suspect that part of the deal would involve Dutton keeping the ‘home range’ (at least until he passes) and the tribe leasing the pastoral lands to John’s company, so that all of the hands have a job for the foreseeable future (perhaps in return for Dutton hiring a dozen or so Indians to teach them the business so it becomes a going concern once John passes and the tribe take complete control). This would be a win for literally everybody.

We know for a fact little John was 5 in 1883 so we know he was born in 1878. Lets Say he had a kid when he was 22 that would make his son (John jr) be born in 1900. lets now say John Jr has a son in early 20's that would make that son's birth year around 1920 which is about the Age of Kevin Costners father played by Dabney Coleman James born around 1840 give or take a few years Little john (Sr) Born in 1878 Unknown john Jr Born around 1900ish Kevin's Costner's Dad born around 1920ish which would make him of age for WW2 John (Kevin Costner) 1955 Casey Tate so in my estimation that makes James a Great Great Grandfather to Costner's John and James Is the 1st generation Kevin's Costners John is 5th and Tate is 7th.

I just want to see more episodes. edit: meant to write Costner's John is 5th gen and Tate is the 7th edit 2: changed typo in little John Sr Birth year to 1878 not 1978 lol

[@randyhogan3071]

I timelined it out pretty much exactly the way you did

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Also the Homestead act allowed adjacent parcels to be staked by the children once they reached adulthood. This is how the original ranches could grow really large and with their growing size, become powerful enough able to buy out smaller privately owned plots that were landlocked in between, creating one huge plot. All this encouraged having children while young.

[@lmm9772]

No. The video had it right. John is 6th generation, Lee, Beth and Kayce are 7th. In season one, after Lee dies, JD gave a speech at the Cattleman's Association, and he specifically mentioned that there were seven generations of Duttons buried on the ranch. Lee had just been buried. Lee was the seventh generation. That completely ties in with Taylor Sheridan saying that James was the great great great grandfather. And, working out an approximate 20-year space between generations, everything ties.

[@jitneyd8984]

i was using a 20ish year timelime as well except for Costner's John. Yes, It is Mathematically possible to squeeze another Generation in their family Tree but the Gen's between John Sr born in 1878 and John Dutton that would have had to have a son not daughter right at 18-20 not a year or two later. Yes, back then having kids at that age was the norm but the probability of having a Son is only 50/50 so you might of had to wait a few more years/childbirth. 4 Gen's in row having a son right on cue is going against the odds but This is fiction, we are all fans and we are just having fun thinking about it. I like both shows. TS wrote Y years before 1883 so if there are plot holes and stuff I don't really care. He's doing a great job bringing back American Western Culture to the Screens.

[@lauriebillington251]

I think you probably nailed it, I didn't add in a generation before John's father (Dabney Coleman) because it was said he died at 90 in 2006 (approximately). I saw it plausible that he could have fathered JD, (Costner) at 44. Also Beth stated her father was 60, making him born around 1960.

How is the young fella of 5 in 1883 be John's great great grandfather. John is in his 60s himself, is there enough time space out for the generations. My grandfather was born in 1895, his father was 1860, his dad 1830 and his father 1797, that's as far back as I can go with the paper trail, my great great great was born in 1797, that's 225 years between 6 generations. I'm 50 and my dads 83, my son is 20, 7th generation. Unfortunately we don't have 200,000 acres of a ranch and don't live on American soil, we had our own troubles here in Tipperary Ireland with the English. We are from the same town, still here in Tipperary. By the way my Dad's father was 44 when he was born in 39

[@septemberlondon]

The math doesn’t add up. The only way James is the great, great, great grandfather of John Dutton is if we’re talking about Kasey’s infant son named John Dutton. Otherwise, Taylor either misspoke or he’s intentionally misleading us (which I have no problem with, for the record).

[@BlueGorillaInTheMist]

Re Spencer, how did you know his name? I just watched 1923 and Spencer appears to be the guy in Africa hunting big cats, but your comment is from 9 months ago (unless u just edited it again now), so was the little kid addressed as Spencer in one of the Yellowstone "1883 flashback" scenes? After watching 1923, I figured the guy in Africa was James Dutton's youngest son who wasn't born yet on 1883 (but didn't know for sure bc I had never heard of Spencer before). Glad to see my guess was correct (at least according to your comment). That said, your list is missing a generation according to Taylor's comment. According to your list, James would only be Costner's great great GF, not great great great. EDIT: On Yellowstone s05e01, Jamie says Costner is a "5th generation rancher," indicating that Jack (the kid about to get married on 1923 who is the son of Mcgraw's eldest son John - the little boy from 1883) fathered Costner's dad in all likelihood, making Tim Mcgraw Costner's great great grandfather :) In other words, your list is correct except: gen2 = John Sr. who does indeed have a child, Jack, both of whom we see on 1923 episode 1 gen3 = Jack

And to your comment of the Indian Chief saying that in 7 Generations his people would not rise up and take the land from him, James Dutton replies " In Seven Generations you can have it back". The way current John Dutton will not lose the ranch to the big development companies and keep his word to his Father of never selling one square inch, is the fact that 8th Generation Tate Dutton is half indian. John will deed or will the entire Yellowstone to Tate Dutton and his peoples who want the land to go back to the way it was of their ancestors.....no development. It technically stays in the Dutton family, and technically goes back to the people. A wonderful perfect ending to Yellowstone.

I would like to throw a little bit of a curve ball at you… the Chief was essentially giving James Dutton Paradise Valley as reparations for the Lakotas killing his daughter, who was at the time essentially considered comanche, but with several caveats. He said in 7 generations, and in my interpretation that meant “from you and I”. So to me, Tate is the 7th generation. Not Kayce. It will end up back in the reservation, as it should, because James clearly agrees to all parameters of the deal.

So in 1932 we might expect to see: John as a grandfather (age 54) Unnamed Dutton as Father John as grandson (age 15) This would be easy to pull off because Audie Rick's character and Dabney Coleman's character could be played by different actors due to the age difference.

Saying that the President did not have an uncle since his mother was an only child. And that the Red Army liberated Auschwitz not the U.S. Army. Well the man was Charles Thomas Payne his Grandmother's younger brother. And he did serve in the 89th infantry division that liberated Ohrdruf not Auschwitz.
