Sydney, that looks like the building I saw online in the Stagecoach Inn website. I am beginning to think now that the Stagecoach Inn is the one started by John Sutton Jr. in 1737 and the whole description in the text I just sent refers to that Inn alone. It says "and one of them afterwards..." so it could describe just the Sutton Hotel aka Stagecoach Inn. The date for the keepers in the two lists mesh perfectly. I do wonder if the John Sutton Jr. is only one person though. Running an Inn from 1737 to 1814 seems to a bit of a stretch. On the Sutton websites, I see there were several John Suttons Sr and Jr. in a row so maybe it stayed in the family until 1814.
