Cynthia, I agree with you....there most likely is a connecton somewhere. Sara Frances Sutton Watts' mother was Mary Ann PHILLIPS SUTTON. I've got them listed in the Gencom, PHILLIPS and SUTTON lists. My father was George Wilson SUTTON, his father was George Franklin SUTTON and his father was Zachariah SUTTON...husband of Mary Ann PHILLIPS SUTTON. My grandfather, George Franklin SUTTON was married to Mary Elizabeth FIELDS SUTTON. All of these folks were from around the Lancaster, Lee, Kershaw counties. Will do some more checking on George Washington WATTS. Think I have the generations (just one line) down from him to present day. Do you have the PHILLIPS that Bessie was from?
