• Notes

  from Alfred H Tewell's book - a copy of a page from the Compendium of American Geneology - lists Willliam Sutton (1642/43 - 1718) a Quaker; from England, settled at Hingham and Eastham, Mass.; yeoman, town clk, constable; at Pisctaway, NJ 1672; m 1666, Damaris (1646-1682), dau. of Richard Bishop, of Plymouth, m Alice (Martin) Clark. In a book by Chambers titled Early Germans of New Jersey - has Sutton of Piscataway, NJ (page 513) - "The first of the family to come to this State are found at Piscatway, as early as 1677. The earliest records in which the name occurs are as follows; in the Elisabethtown bill in chancery we find surveyed to William Sutton, in 1677, Jan. 30, 120 acres; in 1677 and 8, Feb. 11, 125 acres; in 1678, Sept. 10 124 2; in 1685, Feb. 11, 125; in 1686, Feb. 20, 125; in 1687, March 25, 125. In 1697, March 10, a large tract was leased by the proprietors of East Jersey for "a half pence per acre" to William Sutton, Thomas Sutton, Judah, John and Charles Sutton, and others." —— William Sutton first appears at Barnstable, on Cape Cod, where, on 5 June 1666, he was hauled into court and fined for purloining the Bible from the meeting house, "one pound and for telling a lye about the same, ten shillings." His departure from the town was probably expedited by these occurences, and a few weeks later, at the neighboring settlement of Eastham, he took refuge in matrimony with Damaris Bishop. —- ". . . he [William Sutton] lived in Eastham from 1666 to Oct 1671. He went west to NJ about 1672 or 1673. The quest of religious freedom was perhaps the reason for his removal, since in the NJ Colony he was an influential Quaker. On or near the Partian River, not far from the present town of New Brunswick, William Sutton settled and prospered. Known for his fair dealing with the Indians, the wolves and forest were his only enemies. In 1682 he was the owner of 249 acres if land. He held the office of freeholder constable and town clerk. In 1713 he was spoken of as an aged man and he was buried in the Quaker churchyard in Woodbridge." (Outlaw Genealogy, Albert Timothy Outlaw & Arnie Henry Outlaw)
