Person:Sarah Sutton (31)

David Sutton's children were probably born during his residence at Kingwood, New Jersey. He made his Will February 24, 1812 at West Bethleham, Washington County, Pa. and probated October 29th, 1812. He gave one seventh of his estate to each heir. His wife was not mentioned in the Will. Since his daughter Sarah Wilson had died, her children are to share her part of the estate. He also goes on to request that the order in which the were to be paid, is that His son John was first, then an of Sarah children that had reached the age of 21 shall be next. The rest are to be paid by seniority. His property was to be sold as soon as possible after his death. He says in what manner it is to be sold but unable to read that part of the will. He had one exception to what was to be sold and that was his books and one other item unreadable, were to be divided among his children. (History and Genealogical Miscallany by Stillwell)
