I am researching my Sutton family of Jefferson Co., Mississippi, ca. 1820. I have been working on this family for about 15 years and have made no progress. What I am doing now is reading through a file cabinet drawer full of my Sutton research and compiling all info about Sutton's in early Mississippi. I am hoping to be able to connect my Thomas Sutton with one of these families. Please visit my website at www.homestead.com/suttonplace/index.html These are some more notes from my files, pertaining to Sutton's in early Mississippi.
