At the age of twenty he entered the Southern army, enlisting in June 1861, at Braxton Court House. He was in the engagements of Carricks Ford and McDowell, and then a participant in the Shenandoah Valley campaign, at Winchester and Cross Keys. He was in the seven day's fight before Richmond, and in the battles of Gordonsville, Harpers Ferry, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Antietam, second Bull Run, Cedar Creek, along the Potomac capes in the battle of the Wilderness, where he was captured, May 5, 1864, and sent to Fort Delaware, remaining prisoner until the war closed.

George W. Sutton, of Crab Orchard, KY, Murdered submitted by Gerri Sutton, PO Box 202, London, KY 40743 Mt. Echo - January 24, 1879 George W. Sutton, a brother of Mr. H. C. Sutton of this city, living near Crab Orchard, was found murdered in the Woods last Wednesday. Suspicion pointed to a man named Ferril, who left the house with Sutton, promising to show him a nearer way to Crab Orchard. Ferril was arrested, and there was talk of lynching him but the guard being composed of determined men no attempt was made. Mr. Sutton has a father, several relatives and friends in this county who deeply mourn their bereavement. Stanford, Lincoln Co., KY newspaper Murdered and Robbed January 17, 1879 The body of George W. Sutton was found in the road four miles from Halls Gap near the house of Mr. John Weaver on Wednesday last, with a load of 10 d nails in his head intently fired from an old musket. Sutton is from Taswell, Tenn., shoemaker by trade but frequently goes out peddling liniment and was on this errand when killed. He is spoken of as an unoffending and sober man. January 24, 1879 When we went to press last week John Ferrel, and Ike Stapleton were under arrest for the murder of George W. Sutton a shoemaker who for the last four years has plied his trade at Crab Orchard. A coroners verdict was held on Friday and the facts elicited were enough to shock even those who were accustomed to deeds of violence and murder. It was proven that Sutton, Ferrel, and Stapleton spent the night at John Weavers some five or six miles distant from Crab Orchard. A frail damsel being the object of their visit. Next morning Sutton left and in a short time after his departure Ferrel followed with an old musket ostensibly to hunt rabbit. At first he went in the opposite direction but soon circled around and stepped in Sutton's tracks, came up behind him and emptied a load of shot and broken nails into his head tearing a hole nearly two inches in diameter, the pockets were then rifled and left turned wrong side out and the body was dragged from the road to the woods and covered up in snow behind a log a short time after the shot was heard. Ferrel returned to Weavers and in answer to an inquiry in regard to the blood on his coat said that it came from a rabbit he had killed and proceeded to wash out the stains. As there was no direct proof in the guilt of Stapleton he was introduced as a witness and swore that on Friday previous Ferrel told him that he intended to kill Sutton for his watch and money, and that he borrowed not quite a load of bird and squirrel shot from him. Ferrel was held without bail and lodged in jail here Saturday. The indignation against him at Crab Orchard was very great and threats of lynching were loudly made. It was one of the most brutal murders that ever cursed this blood stained county and the friend being a poor man is sure to pay the penalty with his neck. A death far too good for the perpetrator of so foul a crime. In jail Ferrel acts like a wild man pacing his cell ever and now apparently fearful that a moments rest would be too much for his over burdened conscious he protest his innocence and says that there is a conspiracy against him but his story is so badly constructed as to leave little doubt that he is not wrongfully accused. He claims that he is a native a Lee Co., VA., and that Sutton was also from that county but both have since lived in Taswell, Tenn. In appearance Ferrel is not the looking person that one would think capable of such a deed being a young man of possible fair exterior but the facts and the evidence seem to direct even to admit a doubt of his guilt. Later Ferrel confessed to murder. Acquitted February 14, 1879 Jacob Weaver, Ike Stapleton and Elizabeth Stapleton, arrested as accessories to the murder of George W. Sutton were tried before Judge Burch at Crab Orchard, Wednesday. It was proven that Ferrel had told them that he was going to kill Sutton and after killing him told them that he had done so but it appearing that their failure to report on him was caused by fear, they were acquitted. Mt. Echo, Laurel Co., KY Ferril the man who murdered Mr. G. W. Sutton, the brother of our Townsman, Mr. H. C. Sutton, near Crab Orchard, last January, has been tried and sentenced to the penitentiary. Ferril pled guilty and the jury was merciful.

History of Richland County (Wisconsin) The following Sutton's are mentioned: Aaron Sutton - Town of Bloom B. B Sutton - Town of Orion Reuben Sutton - Town of Richland http://www.rootsweb.com/~wirichla/1906hist.htm

I know most of us Sutton's have heard of the Sutton-Taylor Feud. I really didn't know what it was about until I read this short history today. Just thought I would share it. Liz B. SUTTON-TAYLOR FEUD. The Sutton-Taylor Feud, the longest and bloodiest in Texas, grew out of the bad times following the Civil War.qv The Taylors were descendants of Josiah Taylor, a Virginian who settled near Cuero in DeWitt County. His sons, Pitkin and Creed Taylor,qv their sons, nephews, in-laws, and friends were the mainstay of that faction. The other party, originally centering around the Texas State Police,qv took its name from William E. Sutton, a native of Fayette County who had moved to DeWitt County. There is a persistent legend, begun by journalists, that the two families had feuded in another state and had carried their grudges with them to Texas, but no evidence supports the story. One of the early difficulties occurred in 1866 with two killings; Buck Taylor shot a black sergeant who came to a dance at Taylor's uncle's home, and Hays Taylor killed a black soldier in an Indianola saloon. Later, brothers Hays and Doby Taylor were involved in the killing of two Yankee soldiers at Mason in November 1867. They got away and returned to their father's ranch in Karnes County. Shortly thereafter another family of Taylors got in trouble with the authorities. In March 1868 William Sutton, a deputy sheriff, led a posse from Clinton in pursuit of a gang of horse thieves, caught the men on the street in Bastrop, killed one named Charley Taylor and captured another named James Sharp, whom they shot on the return journey as he was "trying to escape." According to the first family of Taylors, from whom the feud took its name, the real beginning of the feud was the killing of Buck Taylor and Dick Chisholm at Clinton on Christmas Eve, 1868. In connection with the sale of some horses, Buck charged Sutton with dishonesty and the shooting resulted. The feud tended to resolve itself into a struggle between the Taylor party and Edmund J. Davis'sqv State Police. Capt. Jack Helm,qv backed by Jim Cox, Joe Tumlinson, William Sutton, and the might of the Union officials, came into sharp conflict with the strong-minded Southerners of the region. Ostensibly in pursuit of horse and cattle thieves, the State Police terrorized a large portion of Southeast Texas. On August 23, 1869, a posse laid an ambush that resulted in the death of Hays Taylor. The worst outrage was the assassination of Henry and William Kelly, sons-in-law of Pitkin Taylor, on August 26, 1870. The Kellys were arrested on a trivial charge, taken a few miles from home, and shot down, while Mrs. Henry Kelly watched from hiding. Helm was dismissed from the force when other examples of his misconduct came to light, but he continued to serve as sheriff of DeWitt County. After Helm's demotion from the State Police, Sutton began to be recognized as the leader of the party. Typical of the methods used in carrying on the feud was the shooting of Pitkin Taylor in the summer of 1872. A party of Sutton sympathizers lured him from his house one night by ringing a cow bell in his corn field. Pitkin, an old man, was shot and severely wounded. He died six months later. At his funeral his son, Jim Taylor, and several of their relatives resolved to revenge his death. Their first attempt was made on April 1, 1873, when they caught Sutton in a saloon in Cuero, fired through the door, and wounded him. They ambushed him again in June, but he escaped without injury. In June or July they waylaid and killed Jim Cox and another member of the Sutton group. A little later Jim Taylor and John Wesley Hardinqv killed Jack Helm in a blacksmith shop in Wilson County. The day after Helm's death a strong force of Taylors moved on Joe Tumlinson's stronghold near Yorktown. After a brief siege the sheriff and a posse appeared and talked both parties into signing a truce, but the peace lasted only until December, when Wiley Pridgen, a Taylor sympathizer, was killed at Thomaston. Enraged by this murder, the Taylors attacked the Sutton faction, besieged them in Cuero for a day and night, and were besieged in turn when Tumlinson appeared with a larger band of Suttons. By this time the county was in terrible confusion. Persons who wished to live in the area had to take sides. There was constant pursuing and lying in wait, and deaths were frequent. Sutton moved to Victoria in an adjoining county and finally determined to leave the country. Some say he was going away for good; others believe he was merely following a herd of cattle to a northern market. He had boarded a steamer at Indianola on March 11, 1874, when Jim and Bill Taylor rode up to the dock and killed him and his friend Gabriel Slaughter. The Suttons got even by lynching three Taylors. Kute Tuggle, Jim White, and Scrap Taylor were among a group of cowboys who had engaged to take a herd up the trail for John Wesley Hardin. At Hamilton they were arrested, charged with cattle theft, and brought back to Clinton. On the night of June 20, 1874, they were taken out of the courthouse and hanged, though they were probably innocent of any wrongdoing. Capt. Leander H. McNellyqv and the Texas Rangersqv were called in; they tried unsuccessfully for several months to break up the feud. The most notable events of the next few months included Bill Taylor's escape from confinement at Indianola as a result of the great storm of September 15, 1875; the assassination of Rube Brown, the new leader of the Suttons and marshal of Cuero, and the fight in Clinton on December 27 in which Jim Taylor and two of his friends were killed. With the death of Jim Taylor the Sutton-Taylor feud proper came to an end. The Suttons, many of whom were peace officers, had things pretty much their own way. Soon, however, they became involved in difficulties that were a byproduct, if not a continuation, of the feud itself. Several of them were implicated in the murder of Dr. Philip Brassell and his son George at their home near Yorktown on the night of September 19, 1876. This deed aroused the greatest indignation, and Judge Henry Clay Pleasantsqv asked Lt. Jesse Leigh Hallqv to bring in the rangers. Eight men were charged with the crime and held for trial. A series of legal maneuvers lasting over twenty years resulted in only one conviction, and that person was eventually pardoned.

Hi, This is my first posting to your list. I recently was given a beautiful, silver pendant-locket that contains two photographs. I believe the pictures are of Henry SUTTON and his wife Elizabeth Ann STEVENS. All I know of the couple is: Henry SUTTON was born in Sittingbourne, Kent, England abt. 1850. He married Elizabeth Ann STEVENS about 1875. (I don't know where they were married) Elizabeth was born in Canada abt. 1852 Their children were: Charlotte C. SUTTON b.1876 in Canada William SUTTON b. 1879 in Sittingbourne, Kent. Annie SUTTON b. 2 Aug. 1881 in Sittingbourne, Kent. On the 1881 census they were living at 61, Shortlands Road in Sittingbourne, Kent. Henry was stated to be a Mariner Out of Employ. On Annie SUTTON's birth certificate it says her father was a Bargemate. On her marriage certificate in 1908 Henry was deceased but his occupation was Mariner. (Merchant Service) To confuse matters a little, Henry was called HENRY on Annie's birth certificate but was named as WILLIAM on both her marriage and death certificates. He was shown as Henry on the 1881 census. I have been unable to find Henry in the IGI or the FreeBMD. Is there anyone who could check the 1861and/or 1871 census for Henry. I don't know what the chances are that 61, Shortlands Road would have been his address then but it is worth a shot. At Annie's wedding to Charles Arthur PACKER one of the witnesses was William SUTTON, presumably Annie's brother. The other was a Sidney Marshall STEVENS. I am assuming this may have been Elizabeth's brother. The fact that Elizabeth STEVENS was born in Canada is an interesting twist because my own NUGENT family emigrated to Canada in 1967. I have not been able to find where in Canada Elizabeth was born........should be easier for me to do that the SUTTON research that's for sure. I do hope that someone may have a connection with this family. The pendant was passed to Annie and then on to her only child Dorothy Joy (known as Joy). Annie's husband was my 1st cousin 2x removed. Joy never married and though I only have an indirect link to her grandparents through marriage I was thrilled to inherit this lovely necklace. Joy died in 2000 at age 85. I can scan a picture of the locket and the photographs inside if anyone would like to see them. Thanking you in advance for any advice on how to find Henry.
