1923 Season 2 Still Has Time To Solve 4 Dutton Family Mysteries From Yellowstone
As 1923 season 2 nears its finale, it still has time to resolve four key Yellowstone mysteries left unanswered.
Taylor Sheridan concluded the flagship Yellowstone series in December 2024, yet several plotlines remain unresolved. 1923 is expected to fill in these gaps, especially regarding the Dutton family tree and its connection to Yellowstone’s characters.
Who Is John Dutton III’s Grandfather?
1923 season 2 is likely to confirm John Dutton III’s grandfather. Based on Yellowstone season 5, John Dutton II is a fourth-generation rancher, meaning his father is the third. Jack Dutton, the son of John Dutton, is the most likely candidate.
Though some speculate Spencer Dutton could be the ancestor, he belongs to an earlier generation, making it unlikely.
Both Jack’s wife, Elizabeth, and Spencer’s wife, Alexandra, are expecting children, but if John Dutton II appears in 1923, it would confirm Jack as the direct ancestor.
Who Are Chance And Ned Dutton?
Yellowstone season 1 introduced Chance and Ned Dutton through gravestones seen at Lee Dutton’s funeral, but their identities remain a mystery.
Ned Dutton’s gravestone lists March 16, 1863, a date predating James and Margaret Dutton’s settlement in Montana.
This suggests Chance and Ned were not their children. Some theories propose they were Jacob and Cara Dutton’s children, lost before 1883, with their gravestones later moved to the family cemetery. 1923 season 2 could finally clarify their role in the Dutton family’s history.
Who Is Patience Dutton?
Patience Dutton’s gravestone appears in Yellowstone season 5, though overgrown grass obscures the details.
The visible date, 1931, could indicate her birth or death year. If she was born after 1923, she might be the child of Jack or Spencer.
If 1931 was her death year, she likely died young, setting up a tragic storyline for a future Yellowstone prequel. If 1923 season 2 references the name Patience, it could confirm her connection to the Dutton family.
How Does Teonna Rainwater Connect To The Duttons?
Teonna Rainwater’s story runs parallel to the Duttons’ in 1923, but her connection to Yellowstone remains unclear. She shares a last name with Thomas Rainwater, the Broken Rock tribal chairman who becomes John Dutton’s rival.
Some theories suggest Teonna is Thomas’ grandmother, explaining his later adoption and mistaken belief that he was Mexican until adulthood.
If true, 1923 season 2 could provide crucial backstory for Yellowstone’s Native American characters and their conflicts with the Dutton family.
As 1923 season 2 concludes, it has the opportunity to answer these lingering questions and strengthen its ties to Yellowstone’s broader universe.
