    3. Is anyone on the list connected to John T. Sutton and Ella Martin who married 16 July 1891 in Lincoln Co., Louisiana? I have been trying to find my John Thomas Sutton born 25 Nov 1860 in St. Leonard, Devon, England. He came to Memphis, Tennessee, around 1872-74 and was there until 1885. He was a house painter, along with his half brothers, Henry James Smith and George Smith. He lived with them and his parents, Sophia Spiller Smith Sutton and Samuel Sutton at 107 Vance St. Sophia left Memphis after 1884 and died in 1901 in Smith Co., Texas at the home of her daughter and son-in-law Charlotte and John Way, in Smith Co., Texas. George and Henry James Smith left Memphis after the 1880 census. George moved to Brooklyn, NY and I think I've found Henry James in South Australia. John also had a nephew, son of his half-sister, Harriett, who also lived with the family in Memphis. His name was Albert Smith and he also worked as a painter. Albert eventually went to live with his sister, Leah Smith Haslem, in Oakland, CA. So the family really scattered after Memphis. I have not found Samuel after 1886 in Memphis. I found John T. Sutton and Ella Martin recently and since John was a painter there wondered if he could be the son of Samuel and Sophia. I would be pleased to hear from anyone concerning this John Thomas Sutton.
