Biography

Henry was born in 1777. He is almost certainly the son of Henry Sutton and Hannah Kinsman but no baptismal evidence to support this has been found.

He married (as Henry Sutton junior) to Elizabeth Cory in 1804 in Poundstock. Both were of the parish, and both made their marks ^[1], the witnesses were Joseph Whitford and Phillip Pethick and the marriage was after Banns.

Henry died in 1857 and was buried in Poundstock on the 27th July ^[2]

Note as to parentage

During the period 1770 to 1800 there was only one baptism of a Sutton in the village of Poundstock (Elizabeth, sister to this Henry). No baptismal record of a Henry Sutton in any of the nearby parishes has been found. The marriage in 1804 cannot be a third marriage of his father as the groom is clearly recorded as being Henry Sutton junior. Hence the parentage as shown here.

If you find evidence to the contrary, please edit his parentage and remove this note.
