Descendants of Philpot John Sutton

Philpot J. Sutton and Susanna Hunnex came from England, (abt 1796), probably arriving at Massachusetts, maybe New Hampshire or Connecticut. I presume they then traveled northwest into New Hampshire, probably along the Merrimack River, then along the Pemigewasset River into northern New Hampshire. Or perhaps they entered the Connecticut River valley further south. It's likely they were at Lancaster, NH, about 1797. There are indications their son, Joshua was born there.

They then removed to Barnet, VT, and had a farm near where a small brook enters the Connecticut River. This brook has since been known as Sutton Brook. The family is found in the 1800 Census of Barnet, VT. Then about 1806 they removed north to Barnston, Stanstead County, Quebec (PQ). It is my goal to learn of all the descendants of these families, (male and female lines).

I attempt to tell their story, and follow their migrations into Quebec, New England, Ontario, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and later into California, Washington and many other states. I try to include references, however, entries not sourced remain as an oversight from my earlier days, or are a strong lead which needs to be followed up. I outline some facts of their lives in chronological order. In some places I've made slight assumptions, mostly supported by other evidence. It is my desire to confirm or deny these. This is very much a working project, which I try to update at least 2 to 3 times a year.

I have had much help through many enjoyable contacts, a special thank you to all the volunteers that have helped me so much. I have met many distant cousins, what a special treat to meet you, and thanks for your help. There is much to learn. I hope to meet more descendants and improve our knowledge of our common ancestors.

I welcome any information you can add, no matter how small, as each piece builds upon the other. Please bring any errors or omissions to my attention. If you have any questions, please ask.

I now have learned of more than 3,290 descendants.
