newbie & short intro

[joycemcpherson3]

Hello to all of you. Today is my first day to be a member.

My great grandmother was Blackfoot (Joanna E. Sutton), married to James Thornton Keithley. They lived in Pike County, MO, and died there also.

Joanna's parents were Amos & Matilda Straube Sutton, both from Kentucky. Amos's parents were Nathaniel & Sarah Sutton from Virginia. Nathaniel dates back to the 1700's..

I'm still looking for something else other than family stories to tie Joanna Sutton to Blackfoot.

Whereabouts in Missouri and Kentucky were your family from? Any idea where in Virginia?

Sutton is a common surname that pops up in my part of West Virginia. I had a good friend who wrote a genealogy column for the Nicholas County News Leader called the "Patchwork Quilt" . Her name was Dorothy Sutton Morris.

My Grandparents and ggrandparents lived in Pike and Ralls County, MO. The Kentucky county was Burbon (sp?)
I am not sure where in Virginia yet.

Hi Joyce, welcome.
On the face of it, the SUTTONs of early Bourbon County, Ky were from Middlesex Co., Va and were the sons of Christopher Sutton who m'd Hope BEUMONT [d/o William and Elizabeth (HUGHES) Beumont].
Christopher and Hope Sutton did have a son Nathaniel, b. 20 Dec 1732 and baptised 14 Jan 1732/33, per the records of Christ Church Parish, Middlesex Co., Va.
This is the research of Virginia Easley DeMarce who did all of the hard work and her documentation is online at ancestry.com and I think you can access that without a subscription or let me know and I'll get it to you. So......
Go to the home page of ancestry.com and fill in the blanks with
(name) christopher sutton (country) us (state) virginia and click on the Search button.
You'll get a page listing all references. Scroll down and find the
"Ancestory World Tree" line and click on that.
It will take you to a list of "Christopher Sutton" 's.
Scroll down to the very last one on the first page, look over on the left and click on the name "Christopher Sutton" and read DeMarce's documentation. She's good. Maybe we can find Nathaniel's wife Sarah?

Joyce:

Welcome. Beautiful country you come from. I used to live in Cape Girardeau. With my family in eastern Iowa, I always came through there on the way home. Your Blackfoot relative lived maybe 3 hours by car south of mine.

I'd also suggest you might want to dig up your family's relationship to the THORNTONs, who have some mixed-lines, as well as find out who "Sarah" was. There was a William Thornton in 1820 Bourbon Co., Ky.
Another (same?) direction would be your Trabue ("Tribew" in Kanetuck') family, who may be Hugenot and that line seems to go back at least as far as the Hugenot settlement of 1722 Monacan Town, Va.
