A new message, "Peter Sutton Death c. 1878," was posted by Jack Sutton on Tue, 11 May 1999 in the Galveston County Genealogy Web Page, Queries section: --- NAME: Jack Sutton EMAIL: jackclt@bellsouth.net SURNAMES: DATE: May 11 1999 Looking for confirmation of death of Peter Sutton, born in Liverpool approximately 1859. Died of Yellow Fever in Galveston approximately 1878 based on date of letter from his mother to another son in Kansas in 1879. Galveston source such as County Clerk's office, Rosenberg Library, Mortuaries, Catholic Church records, Historical Society and Texas Seaport Museum have reported no records of this individual and records for this time appear to be limited if any still exist after fires and hurricane of 1900. It is really a challange to track this one down. I'm using a letter from 1879 written by my Great-grandmother to my Grandfather. The spelling of Galveston was a bit odd, but the researcher I am using in Liverpool confirms there is no such name in England. The fact that my Grandfather immigrated to the US as a boy of 15 seems to tie to his younger brother doing the same. Any suggestions for other sources will be appreciated. Thank you. Jack Sutton.
