Hi. I sent a message yesterday asking about Henry Sutton and son Gaston Sutton. I just remembered they may have had some relation to, or association with the William Peacock family. I have no actual proof this is just family legend. And a confused one at that!. I would still appreciate any help in tracing my g-grandfather Gaston Suttons family history. Thank you, Gerri Ann Stanley Lockman gal@naxs.net

Henry and Elizabeth Josephine Hatchett Sutton were in Davie Co ,Mocksville by 1870. I am trying to locate a home for them earlier than 1870. Their son Gaston Sutton b. 1857 is believed to have lived in Iredell Co in the late 1800's - early 1900's. He died 1933 in Davie Co. His daughter Bessie Sutton married Julius Arron (Cap) Stanley , 1904 in Davie. They are my Grandparents. Does anyone have any recollection of the Suttons in Iredell maybe around Statesville. I cannot find a wife for Gaston but he was supposed to have had 3 children, 2 girls and i boy. Thank you, Gerri Ann Stanley- Lockman gal@naxs.net
