They are buried in Ash Branch Cemetery in Bryan Co. >> Hi Pauline, I am glad to find someone else interested in the James E. Sutton family. James married into my Sims family -- my gg-aunt Mahulda (Hulda) A. Sims. She was the sister of my gg-grandfather, Elbert C. Sims. Below is two generations of information I have about this family. I have not been able to learn where James originated nor who were his parents. I have some additional generations of information on some of the children that I can share. Some of the children seemed to disappear without any record -- perhaps they died early or moved away from the area. I look forward to hearing from you and others with information about this family -- including any additions or corrections to the data show below.
