Does anyone have information on the Suton Family from Wexford? I am researching my gr-great grandfather Andrew Sutton , bn.1797 immigrated to USA in 1815 and settled in Pa. He married Francina Davis in 1820 and from that point on I am ok. It is going backward that I have hit a brickwall. All stories I have heard point to the fact that the family was from Wexford. Anyone with any info please feel free to contact me direct. Thom Sutton email [email protected]

From the TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF IRELAND by Samuel Lewis 1837 ED concerning the name SUTTON: KILMOKEA, a civil parish, in the barony of SHELBURNE, county of WEXFORD, and province of LEINSTER, 6 miles S from New Ross ..... In the R.C.divisions is the had of a district, called Sutton's parish. There is a handsome chapel at Horewood (Horeswood) called St James, with a commodious house for the priest; the old chapel has been converted into a school..... Here are the remains of Ballykearogue castle and of its chapel; they are stated to have been built by Roger de Sutton, who in 1170 accompanied Robert Fitzstephen and Hervey de Montemarisco into Ireland, and obtained from the latter large grants of land in the barony of Shelburne: this district is often called after him Sutton's parish.
