Subject: RE: SUTSouth Carolina-POWG From: gslat Date: December 31, 1999 This is the earliest I have on Sutton. A Shadrack is listed, but I have no data on him, nor on a Zachariah. Why dontja post your request to the scroots list and see if any there can help? cw SUTTON, David 1766-1835 Atkinson David Sutton, Sr., was a Revolutionary soldier in North Carolina and was born about 1745. He lived in Pitt County but moved to Georgia in the 1790s, granted land in 1799, and lived in Wayne County and died there about 1810-1815. He had four sons, David, Amos, John and Shadrack. These four sons made deed to their father's lands to Allen B. Powell in 1816 (see Wayne County Deed Book "B", pp. 33-34); the deed was executed in Tattnall County. These four sons became the ancestors of many of the name (and descendants of other names) in Wiregrass Georgia. David Sutton, the subject, was born in North Carolina about 1766. This date is arrived at by the 1830 Census and by the fact that he drew land as a Revolutionary soldier in Georgia land lottery in 1827. He grew up in North Carolina but moved to Georgia before he married, and after his father's death moved to Tattnall County as already indicated. He lived in Telfair County a few years, serving on the jury there in 1812. He moved thence to the new County of Irwin and was on the first petit jury there in 1820; thence moved to Ware County, about 1825, settling in the portion now in Atkinson County, where he died about 1835. Mr. Sutton married Mary Brown, born 1785 in North Carolina, daughter of Phillip Brown and granddaughter of Frederick Brown, R.S. Her parents moved From Telfair to Irwin County, now Wilcox County. After her husband's death, she remained a widow until her death in Coffee (now Atkinson) County about 1865-1870. David and Mary Sutton had the following known children: 1. John b. 1815, m. (1) _____ Nixon (2) Elizabeth Pierce. 2. Nancy b. 1814, m. Martin Nixon. 3. Susan b. 1823, never married. 4. Mary b. 1825, never married. 5. David b. 1826, m. Mrs. Jane Arnold Sears. 6.
