    3. You are absolutely right ...it is Daniel Sutton, and he was a tailor...(I 'read' it as Sutton and didn't pay any attention to the tailor, seeing as how, on this passenger listing, many others have their occupation listed, too....as the will inclusion gave Daniel Sutton as a witness, perhaps there were 2 of them, and the first Daniel Sutton was known as D. S the taylor, to differentiate him from another Daniel Sutton. I remember reading about this being done by the Welsh, as there were often many of the same name due to patronymic naming....there was, for example, Thomas Jones, the milk and Thomas Jones the mail....one the milk man and the other, the mail man. .. S. "I saw the same ", Taylor" reference but took it to be a possible indenture to a tailor, and also say some other references in searches came up with the same comma followed by taylor. Your list of the Endeavor on your Chester site does have a Daniel Sutton and he's listed with the same sort of comma followed by taylor and from that I think it's clear that there was a Daniel Sutton on the Endeavor who was a taylor by profession": -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
