George P. Sutton, a practical and progressive farmer, who owns and operates a valuable tract of land of 54 acres in Middleton Township, is a native son of the Buckeye State. He was born in Erie County, September 8, 1857, and is a son of George P. and Sarah Digby Sutton, natives of England. His father became a representative farmer of Washington Township, Wood County. It was during the early boyhood of our subject that his parents removed from Erie to Wood County, and took up their residence in that Township. In the district schools of the neighborhood George pursued his studies during the scholastic year, and in the summer months worked on the old Homestead, giving to his father the benefit of his services until 1885, when he started out for himself. He removed to Middleton Township, where he purchased 54 acres of land, upon which, in the midst of well cultivated fields, stands a fine dwelling, substantial barn and the various other improvements and accessories that go to make up a model farm, and which indicate to the passerby the thrift and enterprise of the owner.

On 17 March, 1885, in Middleton Township, was celebrated the marriage of Mister Sutton and miss Jennie M. Fox, who was born September 21, 1864, and is a daughter of John Fox, a farmer of Middleton Township.
