I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mattie TENNEY and Sam SUTTON which was taken at the H. P. Kirk Studio in Mason City, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with the couple likely in their 20's at the time the photograph was taken. In addition to their names, someone has written "wedding picture of" and "Avon's Mother & Father" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this couple: Samuel Bert SUTTON was b. 1866 in New Jersey. Samuel's son, Avon William SUTTON was b. 10 Mar 1893 in Mason City, IA, married Bertha Bel PITTS (b. 14 Dec 1896 in IA) in 1913 and together they had three children including Avon LeRoy "Bud" SUTTON born in OR in 1919. Avon William SUTTON died 28 Jan 1963 in Hood River, OR. Census records provide the following information: 1870 census of Falls Township, IA: Chas W. TENNEY, age 36, a Farmer, born ME Mary A. TENNEY, age 34, Keeping House, born Canada Thomas TENNEY, age 12, Attending School, born IA Edward TENNEY, age 10, Attending School, born IA Charles J. TENNEY, age 5, Attending School, born IA Nina TENNEY, age 3, at Home, born IA Martha P. TENNEY, age 7 months, at Home, born IA + 2 Farm Laborers and 1 Domestic Servant 1880 census of Falls, IA: Charles W. TENNEY, age 46, born ME, a Farmer Anna E. TENNEY, age 34, born NY, Keeping House Thos. L. D. TENNEY, age 22, born IA, a Laborer Edward H. TENNEY, age 20, born IA, a Laborer Charles I. TENNEY, age 16, born IA Nina A. TENNEY, age 12, born IA, at School Martha T. TENNEY, age 10, born IA, at School Hattie I. TENNEY, age 8, born IA, at School Dewitt C. TENNEY, age 2, born IA + 1 Servant 1900 census of Mason, IA: Samuel B. SUTTON, age 34, born Jan 1866, married 4 years, born NJ, parents born NJ, a Stationary Engineer Genevieve I. SUTTON, wife, age 31, born Feb 1869, married 4 years 1 child/1 living, born MN, parents born NY Herbert R. SUTTON, son, age 2, born Jan 1898, born IA Avon W. SUTTON, son, age 7, born Mar 1893, born IA, parents born NJ/IA I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place with the family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

In neighboring households are very likely brothers to Thomas, including 23-year-old Oliver C. Pitts and 27-year-old Ed Pitts. (Other records suggest that Oliver was actually 33 in 1880.) A number of family trees have the family as Thomas Adolphus Pitts and his wife Sylvia Caroline "Sadie" Clawson. They list the daughter's name as Mattie Ethlyn Pitts.

I have not heard about any American Indian with the exact line you speak of but I can tell you from experience. I had some very dark folks on my grandma's side and I always suspected it was Indian because that is what I heard. When I went hunting it down; I figured out it was Black Dutch ancestry which look like American Indians but they are not. Just keep this in mind in your search. You have to examine the census records to see if theywrote "Indian" in that section. They would even write 1/4 or 1/2 if that applies and the tribe. That is a good indicator. I would like to get caught up on your Pitts ancestry line and was hoping you could send me your email address. mine is mgp 383 @ gmail .com (put it all together).
