PETER W. SUTTON, one of the old settlers of Rose Township was born, September 28, 1817, in Mansfield Township, Warren County, N.J. His father, John Sutton, was born in the Mohawk Valley, and brought up to the trade of a saddler. He married in New Jersey, Joanna (Bird) Williamson. In 1833 he removed to Orleans County, N.Y., where he cleared and cultivated one hundred and sixty acres of land. In 1845 he came to Lapeer County, Mich., with his son John B., bought a half section of land, which he cleared and improved. Here he passed away in 1856, at the age of sixty years, and was laid to rest in the cemetery at Thornville.
John Sutton was twice married. the six children who were born to him by his first wife are: Peter W., John B., Rachel, Jane, Hannah, and Nathan. He married his second wife Susan Williamson, a daughter of Peter Williamson. She was the mother of three sons, William, Levi, and Oakley, and six daughters, one of whom grew to maturity, Belle, now Mrs. Durston, who resides in Washington, Adams County, N.Y.
Joanna Bird, the mother of our subject, was born in Warren County, N.J., and was the daughter of John (CROSSED OUT) ELISHA IS WRITTEN IN Bird, a tavern keeper of the olden days, who lived to complete a century of existence. His daughter, Joanna, was first married to Peter Williamson, a saddler of Beateystown, N.J., by whom she had two sons and one daughter, Susan, who was afterward united in marriage with Mr. Sutton. the mother of our subject died in 1831, and was laid to rest in Hackettstown, N.J. She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church.
The subject of this sketch was reared on the farm and in the district school. He is a good singer and when young taught singing school for many terms. At the age of twenty he began work for himself by renting land. In the fall of 1843 he came to Michigan and settled in Oakland County. Where he rented a farm for three years, as he had not means to purchase, for $25 was all that he had in his pocket when he first reached Detroit. In 1846 he had accumulated enough means to buy eighty acres in Rose Township. Upon this he removed in March, 1847, and proceeded to clear it of timber and put it in a state of cultivation.
Later he added forty acres and at another time one hundred and sixty acres, all of which he has put under cultivation.
The marriage of our subject with Frances Bird too place September 7, 1837. This lady was the daughter of Thomas S. and Sarah (Swaze) Bird, of New Jersey, who came to Oakland County, Mich., in 1843, and died in Lapeer in 1889.
