Spencer Dutton is the youngest son of James and Margaret Dutton. He is the brother of John Sr. and Elsa, though Elsa died before Spencer was born. Spencer is the uncle of Jack and the nephew of Jacob and Cara.
Spencer Dutton is the younger son of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill) from the 1883 series. He is also the younger brother of John Dutton Sr (James Badge Dale). As James Dutton from 1883 was John Dutton's great-grandfather, this makes Spencer one of John's grandfathers.
John Dutton Jr. Spencer Dutton is the youngest son of James and Margaret Dutton, born after the events of 1883. Spencer was born to James and Margaret Dutton.
Carrying on his family's heritage, Jack worked with his father, John Dutton Sr. and great-uncle, Jacob Dutton on the family's Montana ranch. (Note: As Jack is sometimes a nickname for John, it's possible that Jack is John Dutton Jr. but that has not been confirmed onscreen.)
As fans gained more knowledge about John Dutton's (played by Kevin Costner) lineage, they appear to have exposed a major inaccuracy with his great-great uncle, Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar).

The younger brother of John Dutton Sr. (and the youngest child of 1883's James and Margaret Dutton, born after that show's conclusion) Spencer served in WWI and remains haunted by his experiences.

Spencer Dutton
Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) is John and Elsa's brother in 1923, and the character who is currently hunting lions abroad. Spencer was apparently born sometime after James and Margaret settled in Montana and was not featured as a baby back in 1883.
Spencer had a deceased older sister named Elsa who died in either 1883 or 1884, and an older brother named John. His aunt Claire (the sister of his father), her husband Henry and their daughter Mary Abel all died before he was born. His brother John later worked for their uncle Jacob Dutton and aunt Cara.
Jacob's nephews are Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) and John Dutton Sr (James Badge Dale). Spencer is currently in Africa, working as a wild cat hunter, but it seems he could be on his way back to Montana soon.
Elsa, John, and Spencer are the children of James and Margaret Dutton (Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's characters in 1883). In her 1923 narration, Elsa said that of her parents' three children, “only one would live to see their own children grown.
Yellowstone fans know that Duttons have been buried in the same spot in Montana for over a century. The Dutton family cemetery makes more sense after 1883 revealed that Elsa was the first person to be buried on the land.
This patrilineal bloodline ends with Tate Dutton. (Jamie Dutton's child is, at least by name, also the youngest progeny of this family.) Tate also represents the seventh generation of Dutton, which is important.
One of his sons is John Dutton senior, who went on to become John Dutton's grandfather. There is another John Dutton Junior, played by Dabney Coleman, thrown into the mix. With this in mind, James Dutton is John Dutton's great-grandfather.
After Jamie learned about his adoption, he asked Kayce for a favor, saying, “I need some advice, brother… If I can still call you that.” Kayce replies to him, “Until the day you die, you better never call me anything else.” This implies that Kayce had an inkling about the adoption.

Beth finally learns another deep family secret: John Dutton has been chucking corpses on the Montana border for years; in fact, the episode began with a young Rip (Kyle Red Silverstein), who at the urging of a young John Dutton (Josh Lucas), discards the body of a cowboy who got a little too lippy about his beloved ...
John's biological children include Lee Dutton (Dave Annable), Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), and Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes).
