~~ JOHN J. SUTTON ~~
===========================================================
Standard History of Adams & Wells Counties, Indiana – 1918
Tyndall & Lesh, Pages 762 & 763
JOHN J. SUTTON, Wells County was just beginning to emerge from the wilderness when the Sutton family established their first home here. Some of the woods had been leveled, land broken up and in cultivation before Mr. John J. Sutton was born, and practically his entire lifetime of three-quarters of a century has been lived in this county.
Mr. Sutton was born in Nottingham Township of Wells County June 11, 1843, but his work and interests for the greater part of his life have been in Liberty Township where he is now a successful farmer, owning 150 acres in section 35.
He is a son of Amos and Elsie (Jones) Sutton. His father was a son of Amos Sutton, Sr., a native of New York State, who in very early pioneer times moved to Randolph County, Indiana, and spent his life there. Amos, Jr., grew up in Randolph County, married in Kentucky, and soon afterward invaded the wilds of Wells County, where he located about 1835, more than fourscore years ago. He first entered forty acres of wild land in Nottingham Township, but some years later sold that and moved to Liberty Township, where he and his wife spent their last years. He worked in Cincinnati, Ohio, to pay his taxes. Mr. And Mrs. Sutton were the parents of a large family of twelve children, John J. being the only survivor.
As a boy John J. Sutton attended the public schools of his native county, and was eighteen years of age when the war broke out. He soon afterward enlisted in Company H of the 48th Indiana Infantry, and saw an active service of about eight months. He received his honorable discharge in Louisville, Kentucky.
Mr. Sutton married Louisa Lee, daughter of Alexander Lee, a former county commissioner of Wells County. They had eight children, seven of who are still living. Mr. Sutton is an honored member of Lew Daily Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, and in politics votes with the democrats. Mrs. Sutton belongs to the Women's Relief Corps.
