I'm wondering if he's related to the Lawrence Co Suttons because most of the Suttons in MS during that time period seemed to be in Lawrence Co. These are the Suttons who were in Lawrence Co in 1830 or earlier: John (1820), John (1818), William (1818), William (1825), Shadrack (1825), Sarah (1830), Sarah (1826), Mary (1821), Jensey (1821), and LD (1833). My Thomas Sutton married Phebe Humphries in 1820 in Jefferson Co. Children: John, Thomas, Stephen, Margaret, and an unknown daughter. When Thomas died in 1835, the family moved to Tensas Parish, LA.
