54. Joseph⁴ SUTTON (Thomas³, William², George¹) was born in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey September 11, 1693.⁽¹⁴⁷⁾ Joseph died March 17, 1762 in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey at 68 years of age.⁽¹⁴⁸⁾ He was interred March 1762 at Piscataway Cemetery, in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.⁽¹⁴⁹⁾

He married Priscilla LANGSTAFF December 25, 1718 in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.⁽¹⁵⁰⁾ Priscilla was born August 18, 1694 in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.⁽¹⁵¹⁾ Priscilla was the daughter of John LANGSTAFF and Martha MARTIN. Priscilla died after March 17, 1762 in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey at approximately 67 years of age.⁽¹⁵²⁾ She was interred about 1762 at Piscataway Cemetery, in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.⁽¹⁵³⁾

Joseph is listed in William Whitehead's extracts from the Town Records as the child of William and Damaris Sutton. His birth occurred about ten years after the death of Damaris (Bishop) Sutton. William Sutton and his second wife, widow Jane Barnes who he married in January 1682/3, were described in the Quaker Records as an "aged couple" in 1713. They are not likely to be the parents of a child born in 1693 and it is believed by many that Joseph is the son of Thomas and Mary (Adams) Sutton.

The will of Joseph Sutton, of Piscataway, (Lib H, p. 93) dated 23 October 1754 and proved 1 April 1762, names his father, Thomas Sutton; wife Priscilla; children Henry, Jacob, Sarah, and Priscilla; and granddaughters Priscilla and Johanna Foster.
