Hello, I have been searching for this Sutherland family. John born abt 1726, d. aft 1810 in Westford, Otsego co., NY. I don't know what his wife's name is for sure. His children are Smith and Lovinia(Wright), twins b. 1766, Amos b. 1761, Pamelia b. 1765(Van Valkenburgh), Elizabeth b. 1754(Lay), and I believe there was a son John b. abt 1755. He is not listed on Merritt's book but I find him next to Smith with a elder with him in 1810 Westford. John was in Caanan, Columbia Co in the 1790 census, name spelled Sutherlin, in 1801, beat 11 along with Smith and Amos from the Early History of New Concord, He bought property in the Chatham Center area in 1802, and I have other info from the historian showing their presence in the Town of Chatham, NY in the late 1700's and early 1800's. There may have been a brother of John's, per the historian, named William. I have not found John's grave site or Amos's site, but Smith is buried in Westford. The family is listed in Merritt's book but not connected to the other branches of Sutherland's. One point of interest is that they lived close to the William Sutherland of Chatham Branch of the family.
