  • Notes 
    • Isaac, s/o David Sutton, sometimes spelled Sotton, was born 1720-30. He married Rachel, daughter of Benjamin Doty. The three sons, mentioned below, released by quitclaim the lands of their grandfather, Benjamin Doty, to Edward White, in 1784. Jacob, Israel and Samuel all went to Fayette Co, Pennsylvania ( see page 514, "Chamber's Early Germans of New Jersey"). There were probably other children. (Upper Monongahela Valley article)
