I do not know much about the Sutton family. I am actually researching Samuel Sutton's wife's line (Wallace). However, in the 1850 census, Martin County, Rutherford Twp. in the listing for the family of John Sutton is a William Sutton, age 14. The only other William Sutton in the 1850 census, Martin County is only two years old. The Samuel Sutton I am looking for is also listed in this household, age 22. Samuel and William then may have been brothers. I have not looked for probate information, etc. for this family. There may be some record at the death of John Sutton concerning his family. You may already have the information from the census. I believe John's first wife may have died before 1850. I do not know what happened to John. Hope this helps. Elizabeth
