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.
How is Spencer in 1923 related to John Dutton in Yellowstone?
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.
His brother John was only five years old at the time of the journey. Yellowstone Season 4 flashed back to the year 1893. By this time, James and Margaret are settled in Montana. John would be fifteen years old, and he now has a younger brother named Spencer.
One popular theory among fans is that Teonna is in some way an ancestor of "Yellowstone" character Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), the adopted son of rancher John Dutton III (Kevin Costner). While viewers of the flagship series know who Jamie's biological father is, the identity of his mother has never been revealed.
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.

Who is the father of Spencer Dutton?
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.
Spencer Dutton is the younger son of James and Margaret Dutton, born after the events of 1883. Spencer is the younger son of James and Margaret Dutton. During a harsh winter in 1893 James dies after suffering a gunshot wound.
Teonna Rainwater is a major character in 1923. She is a young girl from the Broken Rock Reservation stolen from her family like other Native American children and placed in an abusive Catholic boarding school.
Teonna's journey on 1923 comes as the U.S. government is undergoing a real-life reckoning about the country's systematic abuse of Native and Indigenous children through the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative.
What does the Indian girl in 1923 have to do with Yellowstone?
One of those girls is played by Aminah Nieves, an indigenous actress who landed the very important role of Teonna Rainwater — a veritable prisoner of the Catholics (and ancestor of Gil Birmingham's Thomas Rainwater, who we eventually meet in Yellowstone) who can dish it out as much as she can take it.
When will Spencer get to Montana in '1923' Spencer is kicked off the passenger ship after the battle and brought by guard to shore. A distraught Alex, locked in her ship's cabin, escapes to bid her husband farewell, vowing to meet him in Montana.
Alexandra comes from England but she's first introduced to us in 1923 during her trip to Kenya with her family and her then-fiancé, Arthur. However, it didn't take long for Alexandra to meet Spencer Dutton and fall in love. The two eventually become married.
Spencer and Alex are geographically closer to Montana than they have been all season long in the 1923 finale, but as the Season 1 ender revealed, they're nowhere near reaching their final destination. Season 1 Episode 8 brought the Yellowstone prequel's debut season to a close on Sunday, February 26 on Paramount+.
However, Spencer later decides to return to Montana with his wife Alexandra after his brother John Sr. is killed and his uncle Jacob is wounded. He may be the father of John Dutton II and grandfather of Yellowstone's John Dutton III.
Prior to the start of 1923, Spencer Dutton served in WWI. After the war ended, he decided to live in Africa, hunting big game that is a problem for human settlements.
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.
After incessant abuse from Sister Mary, Teonna finally kills her and also Sister Alice before fleeing the school. Spencer grows closer to his fiancée and receives Cara's letter that a range war is in progress. Father Renaud is alerted to the murders of Sisters Mary and Alice and sends three priests after Teonna.
For eight episodes, 1923 has tracked Teonna's epic journey. And not until the end of the finale, titled “Nothing Left to Lose,” was it revealed that — after everything she has endured — she is a survivor.
Teonna, played with startling depth and profound rage by newcomer Aminah Hieves, might be a fictional character and ancestor to Gil Birmingham's Thomas Rainwater, but her story is, unfortunately, very real. Sheridan is no stranger to the lasting trauma of the Indigenous peoples.
The first dinosaur eggs were discovered in 1923. That same year 100 years ago, the Hollywood Sign was inaugurated—though it originally read “Hollywoodland.”
1923 ended on a cliffhanger for Alex and Spencer. The couple were separated after a fight broke out onboard the Rms Mauretania, and Spencer accidentally killed Alex's ex-fiance. The couple swore to meet each other in Bozeman, Mt. However, the theory that Alex is already pregnant might complicate their journey.
Meanwhile, fan-favorite Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) made good on his promise to see the Pacific Ocean so his late wife could “use [his] eyes to see the world” — then promptly shot himself.
The son of John Dutton I and Emma Dutton, Jack Dutton (Darren Mann) works with his father and great-uncle to tend to the Yellowstone land during 1923. He falls in love with Elizabeth Strafford and marries her in an unofficial (though very sweet) ceremony.
