Family:Daniel Sutton and Sarah Hobson (1)

Research Notes

• Amanda Sutton is found living with the family in the 1870 census, but she is not listed as a child of Daniel Sutton and SC Hobson anywhere else. At the time, she is 15, so perhaps she came to help with the children. She is likely related, but who are her parents?
