Hello ... I knew part of the information below was in error because of a book I read many years ago. Anne SETTON (Ann SETON, Elizabeth Ann SETON, Elizabeth Ann SEATON) is not the only American (make that United States) Saint. St. Katharine Drexel is another U. S.-born. Others, while born elsewhere, were in service and interred here. Of course I won't include Saints born in the Americas.

Queens County Marriages from Primary Sources Nova Scotia 10 Aug 1883 SUTTON, Thomas Chicago, IL WEST, Maria Eaton Liverpool Methodist

Here is what some people have written concerning the origins of the name Sitton: As far as I know, John Sitton (Sutton) arrived in Enfield, Ct. from Aldeborough, England in 1628 on the Dilligent (Dilligence?). He had two sons, Philip who started the NC ironworks, and I don't recall the other. As I understand it, this is where the name started and branched from there in America. I have read the grant for the land and the forge in NC and BOTH names are in the document. Comments? Corrections? Thanks! The Sitton surname traces its origins with biblical times. The name Zettune comes from the phoenician term for olive..a biblical tree,also the name SIDON,an important port in the middle east,now Lebanon before Damascus. The surname originated from merchants of seta(silk) & zetn (olives)during the crusades. The only American Catholic SAINT,( ref.catholic Encyclopedia)ANNE SETTON,married a Setton and after her husband¨s death,left for convent in florence,Italy. My family's branch came from palestine..to argentina and settled in panama. In mexico,colombia there are also unrelated Sittons.I was told that the surname Sitton is one of the first surnames since its origins date from the biblical times. As far as my family knows - the Sitton family came to England from Toledo-Spain. Some of the family went to Greece and Israel.The name Sitton is known as a very old family name. I FOUND A WEBSITE FOR THE SITTON CAFE IN PANAMA, THEY CAME TO ARGENTINA FROM ISERAL ON THE WEBSITE THEY HAVE A COMPLETE FAMILY HISTORY-VERY INFORMATIVE. Please go to my web page at; http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/i/t/ Bert-J-Sitton/ Near bottom of page, click on Descendants of Philip Sitton.

Published in the Long Island, NY - Newsday July 11, 2001 Margaret SUTTON, 98, Author, by Daren BRISCOE, Staff Writer: A memorial will be held Saturday in Freeport (NY) for author Margaret SUTTON, who was a founding member of Freeport’s South Nassau Unitarian Universalist Congregation. SUTTON, who wrote the Judy Bolton mystery series, which sold more than 5 million copies, died of natural causes on June 21 in Lock Haven, PA. She was 98. SUTTON’s 38-volume series about a teenage female sleuth was printed between 1932 and 1967. The Bolton series survived the Depression, the rearing of SUTTON’s six children and competition from the Microsoft of mystery heroines, Nancy Drew. Born Rachel Irene BEEBE on January 22, 1903, in Odin, PA, SUTTON was the youngest of three children. Her parents, Victor BEEBE and Estella ANDREWS BEEBE, encouraged creativity in their children by supplying them with and encouraging them to use writing and drawing tablets, relatives said. “She was writing and drawing from a very young age,” said SUTTON’s daughter, Linda SUTTON STROH of Cantonsville, MD. After attending public schools in Coudersport, PA, SUTTON moved to NY, graduating from the Rochester Business Institute in 1920. She met William SUTTON at a church dance in Manhattan and began a relationship that would progress from games of chess and exchanges of poems to marriage in 1924. SUTTON began composing children’s stories to win over her stepdaughter, Dorothy. In 1932, she published the first book of the Bolton series, “The Vanishing Shadow.” The events in the book are loosely based on the Austin Flood in PA, a 1911 tragedy that claimed 78 lives. SUTTON’s penchant for realism extended to her characters, who aged from book to book, made mistakes, and weren’t always the most popular or best looking. This distinguished her books from those churned out by the Statemeyer Syndicate, the publishing powerhouse that created the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries. “You mention Nancy Drew and smoke would start comng out of her ears,” said SUTTON’s daughter, Eleanor KRATZAT of Stanley, WI. In 1952, the SUTTONs moved to Freeport, and Hempstead high schools. Her classes were so popular that some students repeated them year after year, KRATZAT said. SUTTON’s husband died in 1965. She moved to Berkeley, CA, in 1975 after marrying longtime family friend Everett HUNTING. HUNTING died shortly after the couple moved to PA in 1993. Besides STROH and KRATZAT, SUTTON, is survived by three other children, Dorothy WOLFE of Napa, CA, Marjorie ECKSTEIN of Melville (NY) and Thomas SUTTON of Uniondale (NY); 14 grandchildren; 27 great-randchildren and 15 great-great-grandchildren. Her eldest son, Lloyd SUTTON, preceded her in death. The memorial service will be held at 3 PM Saturday at the South Nassau Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 228 S. Ocean Avenue, in Freeport. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Author’s League Fund, which helps elderly and disabled authors with health and other emergency expenses, at 21 E. 28th St., NY, NY 1016. -- Danny & Nancy Clemmer www.clemmer.org
