Looking for information on this family also his wifes parents and siblings, Mary G Patterson. This is what I have. Thanks, Vickie in Okla Mary G Patterson Born: 30 Oct 1818 Place: Ohio Married: 18 Jan 1838 Place: Preble, Ohio Died: 31 July 1914 Place: Cypress Township, Harrison , Missouri She married: Samuel Sutton, son of George Sutton b 1785 & Hannah Gard b1789 who married in Uniontown, Fayette, PA After she married Samuel Sutton in Ohio, she had all 7 children all born in Preble, Ohio maybe Dixon Twp is listed as the birth place for two of the 7. Samuel and Mary G. Patterson Sutton and all the children ended up in Harrison County, Missouri. In the townships of Bethany and Cypress. I have two pictures of her at age 88 yrs. She was a very small very wrinkled woman always with a shawl pulled over her hair. Also a picture of someone that says "Grandmother Patterson" that I think is her mother. The woman in this picture looks like a big boned woman, with long arms and large hands, and her face is long in shape. I also have a picture that says "Cousin Andy Patterson" at middle age and I think a young picture of him in a civil war uniform. I am checking the civil war muster list for him. I also have this obit on Mary G Patterson's husband, Samuel Sutton ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Obituary - Samuel Sutton - 1906 - Original newspaper article Samuel Sutton was born in Butler (the corner of newspaper is torn off), Jan 6, 1816, and died at his home in Cypress township, Jan 19, 1906, aged 90 years and 13 days. He was taken when a small infant about 1 year old to Preble county, Ohio, where she grew to manhood, and took as his life partner to share his trials Mary G. Palluson (msp. should be Patterson) Jan 18,1838, who still survives him. Theirs was indeed a long eventful life which they lived together as man and wife, 68 years and 1 day. To this union were born 4 boys and two girls. One son and 1 daughter preceded him to the Great Beyond, both having lived to manhood and womanhood. The rest of the children all live not far from the old homestead. There are 15 grandchildren, 22 great grand children and 1 great great grand child, making the fifth generation. When 24 years old he cast his first presidential vote for the Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison and was always loyal from that time to the Republican party to the time of his death, having cast his last vote for Roosevelt in 1904. He was elected Justice of the Peace of Cypress township and filled the office for 16 consecutive years. He was also postmaster for 10 or 11 years and took great pleasure in being one of, if not the oldest postmaster in the United States. About two years ago he received a fall, which caused a fracture of the arm, and although he recovered the use of his arm he could not write very well, so this caused him to have to resign the office of postmaster, but he still continued to enjoy his paper, having received the gift of second eyesight and was able to read without having to wear glasses. "Uncle Sammy", as everyone called him, came to Harrison County in 1865, about the close of the Civil War. He lived on the same place until the time of his death. Though not confined to his bed he had been in quite poor health for some time, and about 13 years ago his daughter and her husband (Mr. And Mrs. Robert Ellis) came back to take care of her father and mother during their declining days. He was always cheerful and pleasant and during his last sickness he was surrounded by children and grandchildren and an aged sister and brother, to administer to his last earthly wants. He will be greatly missed from his favorite chair by children and grand children, but by none as, much as his aged companion and his devoted daughter Mrs. Ellis, who were always ready and willing to wait on "father". Funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Smiley, assisted by Rev. Mitchell at Pleasant Ridge church to a large gathering of relatives and friends. The remains were laid to rest in Pleasant Ridge cemetery. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The youngest of five children, he grew to manhood near Schroyer, Kansas. He lost his father at the age of two years and he remained a devoted son, caring for his mother until her death. He was united in marriage to Hattie Boyington on January 3, 1907 and to this union were born five children: Myrtle Fincham, LeRoy Sutton, Ralph Sutton, and Floyd Sutton all of Blue Rapids, Kansas and Bernice Barnes of Kansas City, Kansas. Most of his life was spent farming in Marshall County. For fifteen years prior to his retirement, he was employed by the Blue River Gravel Company. He was preceded in death by his wife, who passed away March 20, 1951. Besides his children, he leaves a brother, William Sutton in Boise, Idaho; three sisters, Elizabeth Weuster of Santee, California and Nellie Bourinstein of Paramount, California; fifteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren, a host of other relatives and friends. He was a person who did not take an active part in community or social affairs, but was deeply devoted to his family and friends. His greatest joy was being with and working for those who were near and dear to him. Funeral services were held at the Blue Rapids Methodist Church, Wednesday, September 6 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Neil Heidrick officiating. "In the Garden", "Going Down the Valley", and "The Old Rugged Cross" were sung by a male quartet composed of Wilbur Land, Robert Fincham, C. F.

Interment was in the Prospect Hill cemetery. ------------------------------------------------------------- HATTIE BOYINGTON SUTTON Newspaper, Thursday, March 29, 1951 Page 3 Hattie Boyington, daughter of David J. and Lydia Ellen Keefer Boyington, was born June 1, 1885 near Richardville, Pennsylvania and died March 20, 1951 at her home in Blue Rapids, Kansas. Despite a serious illness a year or more ago, she had been in fair health for some time and death came unexpectedly. She suffered a stroke about six o'clock on the morning of the 20th and passed away four hours later without regaining consciousness. Her husband and four of her children were at her bedside. When eight years of age, Hattie Boyington came with her parents to Washington County, Kansas, where she made her home until she was 21. She lost both of her parents during these years; her father on October 23, 1893 soon after they arrived from Pennsylvania and her mother on January 1, 1905. In 1906, Miss Boyington came to Blue Rapids which was her home throughout the rest of her life. Hattie Boyington was united in marriage on January 3, 1907 to Bert E. Sutton. To this unions were born five children: Mrs. Myrtle Fincham, LeRoy, Ralph, and Floyd all of Blue Rapids and Mrs. Bernice Barnes of Kansas City, Kansas. Besides her husband and these five children, she leaves to mourn her going, fourteen grandchildren and one great grandchild; her only sister, Mrs. Myrtle (Smutz) Daggett of LaJunta, Colorado; three uncles, Alvin Boyington of Goodland, Kansas, Rev. F. A. Shawkey, Kearney, Nebraska and Schuyler Boyington of Osawatomie, Kansas; one aunt, Almira Bartlett of 1115 W. Manor, Santa Cruz, California; and numerous other relatives and friends. Her life was a rich and full one , though modestly spent. It centered in the home and the raising of her children, and in later years, in the joy and happiness she had in her grandchildren. Their interest were always her interest. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, a fine friend and neighbor. A well-used Bible and her lovely character are evidences of a deep Christian faith that has been an inspiration to her family and initmate acquaintances. She was a member of the Methodist Church in Blue Rapids. Two especially marked Bible passages in Isaiah (40:28-31 and 42:1-16) show that she approached her physical death with confidence in the Easter Hope. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Friday afternoon at two o'clock. Dr. Leslie Templin was in charge of the service, using a passage of scripture that Mr. Sutton had marked in her Bible to comfort her family in their hour of sorrow. A male quartet, Kenneth Fincham, Wilbur Land, Robert Fincham, and Hiram Johnston accompanied by Miss Kelma Kapitan, sang "The Old Rugged Cross", "Work for the Night is Coming", and "In The Garden". The pallbearers were Alva Stryker, Lawrence Hull, Oscar Harris, Russel Ham, Jack Shearer, and Fred Craft.

One daughter still is therefore not identified yet. It appears they all were around Huntington In. That is all I have to date. (William Gardner Sutton later married Abigail Patterson (in a second marriage) who was born in 1811 and died in Huntington County Indiana) Indiana Herald March 4, 1885 OBITUARY February 24, 1885. No pioneer of this county deserves to be held in more grateful remembrance than William G. Sutton. The following obituary notice of the late W. G. Sutton Prepared by Rev. L. B. Smith and delivered at the funeral. It will be interesting to the readers of the Herald. William Gardner Sutton was born in Greene County, Ohio, August 8, 1807, died February--1885, age 77 yrs. 6 months and 16 days. He was married to Eliza Jane Pendroy, Dec. 26, 1826, by whom he had nine children, six sons and three daughters. All the daughters and two of the sons, as well as their mother, preceded him to the spirit world. Four sons survive him, three of whom are here present today to follow to the home appointed for all the living, the remains of the best and wisest counselor they have every had. His first wife (Eliza Jane Pendroy)died on the 11 of March 1830 and he was again married on the 10th of April 1851, to Abigail E. Patterson whom he had known in his youth, and who, through the injustices of more than a third of a century has been to him a judgement indeed and a dearly cherished companion. By this marriage there were no children. He had nineteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. In early life he was of a genial-jovial disposition and this spirit often manifested itself in after years. Though when the shadows of life began to fall and the sorrows of life began to multiply he grew more sedate, he was still a most companionable friend and rejoiced in the happiness and prosperity of others as well as himself, and was always glad to take a Friend by the hand and bid him Godspeed. Of the old pioneers who settled here at about the same time with their families only eight remain, so far as I have been informed, James M. Bratton, John Roche, John Lawler, George Sietsel and Henry Brown of this city, and John Oliver, and Samuel and Anthony Ensley of Clear creek township and several of them have passed the allotment of human life-three score year and ten. It will not be long until all the old pioneer landmarks will be gone, and will be known only in the hearts of a grateful people. I always feel like uncovering my head in the presence of these "old pioneers" as if to the presence of royalty, a royalty more dignified and Nobel, and better and dearer to an American citizen then that of any King or Emperor or Potentate of earth. I fear that we are sometimes forgetful of the debt of gratitude we owe to these men. They have suffered and toiled, and denied themselves the comforts and luxuries and enjoyments of life that they might give them to us and our children in rich profusion. They have conquered the primeval forests, subdued the wilderness and made it to bud and blossom as the rose, with richest perfumes and sweetest flowers, and to bring forth in the most bountiful profusion the fruits for rising generations. They have labored and others have enjoyed their labors. We all, my friends, are partaking today of these benefits to a greater or less extent. How thankful to them we ought to be, and how sacredly should we cherish their memory. As indicative of the sacrifices these pioneers were compelled to make, and of the cheerfulness with which they bore their hardships, I present you with the following extracts from a letter written by the son of the decease Dr. C.C. Sutton for a very different occasion than this: "On the 8th day of September, 1836, the sun at full meridian, commenced the trip to the family goal. Then, with full hearts and quivering lips we bade adieu to familiar faces and familiar scenes and started for a new country. On the fourth of October, after two weeks travel, we found a place new enough to satisfy our wants, and stopped at Huntington, where we happened to find Uncle Mike Quinn and family and moved into the house with them. On the 12th of October, a son, Jeniah, was born. The house being small we soon tired of living two families together, and another house had to be found, but where? Houses were scare and we were strangers, but father is strong, for he is now only twenty-nine years old. Finally one is found, father, returns and describes it to the family. The spring was mentioned by way of escape, father saying he had taken the best drink from the cooling waters that he had since coming into the State. Mother said she would go anywhere that would afford us shelter from the coming winter, that we might be to ourselves, and it was then and there settled that we would move to the country. So on a beautiful day early in November, the date I don't remember, but the day is firmly photographed on my memory, we loaded our goods and started for our new home, which, we reached in go time, and such a place it was ! A little shanty, clapboard door, dirt floor, the whole end for a chimney and light was admitted through greased paper pasted over a hole cut in the wall, and this was our new home; A home for people who had been living in luxury, surrounded with all the comforts of life. But there was no grumbling in that little circle that day, we were all disposed to make the best of it. The hurry of unloading was soon over, and we were alone by all but Uncle Mike. Mother was sick and had to lay down, our children were hungry and clamorous for something to eat, but who would cook, with mother in bed? Uncle Mike, being handy fell to cooking and in short time the meal was prepared. But where shall we eat? We have no table? The want was soon supplied by spreading a snowy white cloth over a goods box 2/1 feet, and on this the smoking vessels were placed, and to this the family sat, surrounded by the primeval forest and ate their first dinner in our new home. Although it is forty-seven years since that meal, I remember it was the best a hungry boy ever ate. though many times sized with hunger afterward, the one crops out in my recollection the most vivid and the one best of all. In common with the youth of that period, he received a very limited education, going to a common school but three months. Consequently when he commented to do business for himself, he could not write his won name. He kept his own accounts by making marks with pen and ink, which he alone could read. Every Saturday night he went to a merchant (Mr. Samuel Peterbaugh) of, Xenia, Ohio, a special friend and he would transcribe them into a day book in regular business form for him, which he soon learned to read and imitate, and thus he learned to do business with a busy world. How successful he has been in this you all know. What an inspiration and encouragement is such an example to the youth of our land and indeed to all. Perseverance under the most adverse circumstances, determination to conquer, earnest application, down right hard work and energetic action will sooner or later bring success. But his labors are all over and he's resting now. Peace to his ashes, a go man has fallen and he will be missed; a helper of the helpless; a friend to the needy; a neighbor to the poor; and all these will miss him. A useful, upright, honest and most highly respected citizen, and the community will miss him A kind father and these children and grandchildren will miss him. A devoted husband and his wife will miss him. Aye, more than all the, said he to me, I have no fear of death. I have lived long enough and whatever Gs will is I am satisfied with but, remembering his wife, "if we could only both go together, she will be so lonely without me. that was his great anxiety his only regret. For her sake he would stay longer, as he himself, he had no choice. I have knowingly wronged no man. I have tried to do the best I could and to do on to others as I would have them do onto me. I believe in God and the Bible and in Christ my saviour. I pray for the patience to bear my sufferings and for relief of them. His prayer was heard in that he was granted patience to bear his suffering. There is only one thing I have not done and I did not think that necessary. I have never united with the church, there are so many of them, and so different, I could not tell which was right or which was wrong, but I have changed my mind.. I believe that God, would not have given a church to the world if he had not intended to live in it. I only refer to this as an admonition from one of the best and purest of men to those who may entertain the same opinions. He is gone - let his example be instructive to us. he speaks to us from the eternal, shares and in all things I know he would have us do and pursue the right. He has gone to his reward to be rewarded according to the deeds done in the by. This at last will be our reward. Let us strive to make it a desirable one. To these dear friends, wife and children, we commend you to God for comfort. This large concourse of friends speaks of the deep sympathy of the community and the high esteem in which they hold both you and your dear departed companion and father. May God bless you and sanctify to you in deepest distress. Information on William Gardner Sutton's parents Jeniah and Hanna. Information on William Gardner Sutton's parents.

She may be a vital link to my search for my mother's family. Please contact me if you have any leads to Dorothy at lforest7933@yahoo.com.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wkQBAIB/2475 Message Board Post: I am searching for any Hatfields that may have been related to the Suttons. The families I'm researching (I think) would have lived in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. Specifically, I'm searching for any information on a child who may have been given up for adoption or abandoned with an unknown babysitter. The child was born 3/31/25. Please contact me at lforest7933@yahoo.com. I would be very appreciative of any information.

We also have this family and documentation on our web page - address below.

Sutton in my database. I don't show a spouse's name, but I show two daughters named Jane and Flora. John B. is shown as the son of Harvey Sutton (1809-?) and Martha (surname unknown). The source of this data on Harvey Sutton and descendants is taken from Lorin Snyder's book. Per the book, each surviving child of Harvey Sutton received $1,400 at his death. Harvey is shown as being born in Union Township, Fayette County, PA. Harvey Sutton's parents were John Sutton b. 6/24/1777, in Union Township, Fayette County, PA and Hannah Richie, who died 10/11/1816. I show John's parents as Samuel Sutton (1754-1812) and Sarah McCoy (1758-1822). Samuel's parents were Isaac Sutton and Rachel Doty. Sarah's parents were James McCoy and Ann Bruce. Isaac Sutton was one of the sons of the Rev. David Sutton and Elizabeth Cox. Rev. David Sutton's parents were John Sutton and Elizabeth Conger. John Sutton's parents were William Sutton and Damaris Bishop. I have dates and additional data. Much of the above is documented in Lorin Snyder's book on descendants of William Sutton. I am also a descendant of Rev. David Sutton and William Sutton. Like you, I have Doty as well as Sutton ancestors.
