I just wanted to make a correction to James. James middle name is Lewis, not Laurence.
The source for that is
in the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900
Also, to confirm... His son is also named James Lewis Sutton.
He was born about 1824 in North Carolina and died on 9 Aug 1870 in South Carolina.
