VA with Alpheus William Sutton B. 1761 (or 63) his father was also named William and upon the elders death Alpheus took his fathers name and went by William from then on. He enlisted in the VA brigade 1780, was on KY census 1785. Removed to Gallatin Co. IIl by 1820. I do not know the name of his wife(s). His children were known to be of Native American heritage. His daughter (also had daughter Nancy) Sarah - born 1807 Ky, D. 1880, Howard Co. Mo. She married Jonothan Brown and their daughter Mary Ann Brown was my gg grandmother and was known to be of Indian heritage, my mother knew he personally and I have her and her aunt Nancys' photo. Hoping to find the wife(s) of William (Alpheus) He got service pension and I have the papers, but no mention of his wife(s) Any connections anyone?
