History of the Sutton Family
From the Yates County NY Chronicle, printed by the Naples NY Record, 3/20/1875:
"Elisha Sutton, son of Elisha Sutton Sr., was born in Elizabethtown, NJ, in 1756. His father came from Northumberlandshire, Engl., and with his brother, David, first settled upon Long Island. Elisha married Hannah Voat [Voak], of Elizabethtown while quite young. He was engaged as on the teamsters to transport the baggage of the army of Washington across the ‘Jersies', he and the other teamsters were hauling supplies to the forts below Philadelphia and were present to witness the battle of Red Bank, and was hurried out of danger by a cannon ball coming in close.
After the revolution he was induced by a proclamation from the king of England to settle his dominions and accordingly, journeyed with his family to Canada, upon pack-horses through an unbroken wilderness. His smaller children were conveyed on horse-back in baskets. He passed the Canandaigua outlet on the bridge that Gen. Sullivan had crossed with his army years before. In fording the Geneseo (sic) river, the children were much frightened, as the water rose midway to the horse's sides and wet their feet. The long and arduous journey, the sick and suffering, and the scarcity of provisions caused them to return to Sanbury, PA, where he had relatives, remaining there until 1800, he removed in the winter to the town of Potter by the way of Williamsport and over the Laurel Mts to the blockhouse, thence to Peter's Camp, Painted Post and through the mud lake, and stopped with his brother-in-law, Abraham Voak, who came to the country a few years before. His family consisted of two daughters, Susannah and Polly, and seven sons, John, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, James, Elisha; and William.
The neighbors, who are remembered living miles apart in log houses with little clearings, were John and Abraham Voak, Solomon & Peter Riggs, Hart Buel, Joe Ellerson, [_?__]Southerland and Gideon Buck.

They arrived safely in Boston, MA and there their first child was born, Elisha Kent Sutton, named in honor of his grandfather. This American born child married and had two sons, Elisha II and Thomas. Elisha II lived in CT and had two sons, David and Joseph. David had two sons. Elisha and Elihu. This Elisha, son of David, was the Revolutionary War soldier.
