Who Is Jacob Dutton in '1923'? Here's How He's Related to John Dutton

With just a few more days left until the premiere of 1923, now is the perfect time to brush up on the cast and characters of the new Yellowstone prequel series. Knowing that 1923 will be an origin story, you might be wondering how exactly the characters are related to those on Yellowstone. Or more specifically, how is Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) related to John Dutton III (Kevin Costner)? We're here to get you up to speed so saddle up, and read on for everything we know about 1923's Jacob Dutton and how he's connected to the modern-day Duttons we've come to know and love on Yellowstone.

Who is Jacob Dutton in '1923'?

We can actually look to 1883 for this answer. Remember John's great-grandfather, the infamous James Dutton (Tim McGraw)? Well, throughout that show—and throughout Yellowstone, for that matter—we hear about James' brother. That just happens to be Jacob Dutton, who will be played by Ford in 1923. When James eventually passes away (which we see in a flashback in Yellowstone season 4), Jacob and his wife, Cara, (Helen Mirren) become the new heads of the family ranch.

How is Jacob Dutton related to John Dutton?

Alright, now we're really getting into the family tree here. If Jacob is the brother of James, founder of the Yellowstone ranch, then that makes him the great-great-grand-uncle of John Dutton III.
