Phyllis Mary Randall was Phyllis Mary Dutton, John’s sister. She was addicted to drugs (not far from Beth’s problems with alcohol), ran off with Garrett Randall, was disowned by John’s father, and eventually murdered by Garrett. John then took in his nephew and raised him as his son.
Jamie Dutton is the name of the Dutton patriarch that first claimed the land and founded the Yellowstone ranch. James/Jamie Randall was the birth name given to the current Jamie Dutton. It would be quite the coincidence that Jamie would be given that name unless his mother was a Dutton and named Jamie after her most important Dutton ancestor.
John sees in Jamie the man who took his sister from the family and then murdered her. Jamie Dutton is the name of the Dutton patriarch that first claimed the land and founded the Yellowstone ranch. James/Jamie Randall was the birth name given to the current Jamie Dutton.
John also told Jamie that he begged Jamie’s birth mother not to marry Garrett Randall because John knew what kind of man Garrett was. John Dutton clearly was close to Jamie’s birth mother well before Jamie was born. We also don’t know Jamie’s mother’s maiden name.
