Margaret Dutton, portrayed by Faith Hill, was the powerful and independent matriarch of the Dutton family in 1883.
She was a great leader and highly protective of her family when she and James headed west on the journey. However, after the passing of their daughter Elsa, the family ultimately agreed on a property in Montana.
Isabel May portrayed Elsa, the oldest child of James and Margaret Dutton. Elsa was an excellent horseback rider and cowgirl, much to her mother's disappointment, due to her determination and enthusiasm.
She and her family traveled on a wagon train at seventeen, hoping for a new beginning. Emma Dutton is John Dutton Sr.'s partner and Jack Dutton's mother.
She is the grandmother of John Dutton III of Yellowstone. Jack continued the family tradition by working on the ranch in Montana with his father, John Dutton Sr., and great-uncle, Jacob Dutton.
Jacob Dutton, played by Harrison Ford, James's sibling and the new patriarch of the family in the early 1900s, replaced his brother as the household's leader.
Together with his nephews John Sr. and Spencer and great-nephew Jack, he worked on the Dutton farmhouse while married to Cara. Cara Dutton, portrayed by Helen Mirren, is Jacob's wife and the household matriarch in 1923.
Spencer, the second child of James and Margaret Dutton, was born shortly after the family's Montana migration.
Spencer also fought in World War I. Evelyn Dutton, portrayed by Gretchen Mol, John Dutton's wife, tragically died while her children were young due to a horse riding accident.
Jamie Dutton is the family's outcast and has conflicting feelings for his father, John. Jamie, a lawyer who has spent most of his life pursuing popularity, has alternatively supported and betrayed his family's aspirations. He and his sister, Beth, have an extremely awkward relationship.
