Part I

Descendants of Philpot John Sutton

A family history of the complete descendants; both male and female lines

( at least those I am able to learn of )

Philpot J. Sutton and Susanna Hunnex came from England, probably arriving at Boston, Massachusetts about 1794. The name "Sutton, Philpot" appears on a list of letters remaining at the Boston Post Office, Dec. 27, 1794. I presume they then traveled northwest into New Hampshire, probably along the Merrimack River, then north along the Pemigewasset River over the Franconian Notch into northern New Hampshire. It's likely they were at or near Lancaster, N.H. about 1797. There are indications their son, Joshua was born there.

They then moved to Barnet, VT, the family is found there in the 1800 Census. They had a farm near where a small brook enters the Connecticut River. This brook has since been known as Sutton Brook. 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 New England (1794), Quebec (1806), Ontario (1840s), Wisconsin (1840s), Illinois (1850s), California (1850s), Minnesota (1860s), Washington (1880s), 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, a great pleasure to meet you all, 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 3,768 descendants, and last messed up these pages 5 June '13.

Part II

My Ancestors

Here I started out trying to answer the age-old question; "Where did I come from". I journey back along both my paternal and maternal lines. It turned out to be quite an adventure and history lesson. Philpot Sutton's descendants marry into the established population of New England and most all these maternal lines go back to the arrival of the Winthrop Fleet.

As you'll see this is still a draft. The further back I go, My Ancestors becomes our ancestors. I once read somewhere, that 75% of the population of America can trace their ancestry to these early New England settlers. So, if I overlooked something, or messed it up, please bring any errors or omissions to my attention. I welcome any information you can add, no matter how small, as each piece builds upon the other. If you have any questions, please ask.
