John's father or John's grandpa? cause i know his name is John but it can't be John from the current timeline, cause John's 60 in 2021, theres no way he was born back in the old west days, he was born in 1959.

I don't think they've specified what year the flashbacks are in, but they're clearly in the old west days and the focus has been on the oldest son whos named John. I've just been a bit confused as to who he is, or maybe we're not supposed to know just yet.

There's a James Dutton and John Dutton Sr. in 1883: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt13991232/

John Dutton Sr., ("Sins of the Father"), John's father

So its John's father then? So if John's father was a young boy 1883 and John was born in 1959, that would make it where John sr. was in his 60's or 70's when he got his wife pregnant with John. I dunno the math don't add up, has to be his grandpa.

I think it’s meant to be John’s grandfather

Kevin Costner said something about his great-grandfather founding the ranch, so I assume he's referring to the 8 year old kid.
