After they left their Tennessee home behind James and Margaret had another son, named Spencer. Elsa also had an aunt, Claire, and a cousin, Mary Abel, Claire's daughter.
Elsa Dutton
Spirited Elsa (Isabel May) was the eldest child of James and Margaret Dutton and served as the narrator of 1883.
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.
Actress Dawn Olivieri, 40, plays the role of Claire Dutton in 1883.
Claire Dutton in 1883 and Sarah Atwood in Yellowstone
She played a tragic member of the Dutton family in the first few episodes of Yellowstone. Claire is the sister of James Dutton and technically great-great aunt to John Dutton III (Kevin Costner).
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.
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.
In Endora Moves in for a Spell, Endora says she was an only child until Arthur was born, which would imply Clara is not her sister, since she is older than Endora. Maurice's siblings are never mentioned leaving a possiblity Clara and other aunts of Samantha could be his siblings.
Elsa also had an aunt, Claire, and a cousin, Mary Abel, Claire's daughter. Both of them were about to take the journey northward with Elsa and her family (due to Henry's death) but Mary Abel was killed by rebelling men that visited their camp and Claire killed herself after the incident.
Margaret Dutton
Margaret (Faith Hill), married to James, was the original leading lady of the Dutton family. She served as a nurse in the Civil War in which James fought in. She was the mother to three children (whom we meet in 1883), Elsa, John, and Spencer.
Spencer is the son of James and Margaret Dutton, who you might remember from the prequel series, 1883, and he's the nephew of Jacob Dutton (played by Harrison Ford).
Although Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) was born after Elsa's death, the sibling's connection is shown in an item of Elsa's that has been passed down to him.
Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton
Brecken Merrill plays Tate, Kayce and Monica's son and John's only biological grandchild.
Elsa was the heart and soul of the show, and her fate encapsulates the social commentary and overarching themes of not just 1883, but the rest of Sheridan's neo-Western universe.
Elsa Dutton
Traveling west at the age of 17 with her parents and younger brother, John, Elsa fell in love twice on the road—first with cowboy Ennis, who was killed by bandits, and then with Comanche warrior Sam, to whom she promised she'd return after her family found their homestead out west.
Kevin Costner is yet to publicly reveal the reasons why he has walked away from his role as John Dutton, but when the news was confirmed, the official line of reasoning from bosses on Yellowstone was that Kevin is choosing to focus on his upcoming movie project, Horizon.
"The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale."
Aunt Clara (Marion Lorne) is the only one of Samantha's relatives who had a truly good relationship with Darrin. She is Samantha's bumbling, elderly, and absent-minded but lovable aunt.
Uncle Arthur is a warlock who is Samantha's uncle and Endora's brother. Arthur is famous for playing practical jokes and using his magic to do mischievous things which annoy Darrin, especially when he uses his witchcraft in front of mortals. Like Aunt Clara, Uncle Arthur likes Darrin.
If you've watched 1923 you know that the reason that Spencer is in Africa on a veritable sabbatical instead of with his family at the Yellowstone Ranch is because of the PTSD that plagues him from his time as a soldier in World War I.
A main character of the Yellowstone prequel series, the setup to Elsa Dutton's death began when she was shot with a poisoned arrow during an attack on the caravan.
