Notes
- From "More Early Southeast Texas Families" pg 146 by Madeleine Martin:
- Henry Wethers Sudduth came to texas in 1834 from Ouachita Parish Louisians, where he had been living for several years and settled first on Clare Creek, a tributary of Thickety Creek, East of pressent town of Roganville near what is now the Jasper-Newton county line.
- A native of North Carolina, he was the son of John and Ann Sudduth, who went to Lincoln County, Georgia, while their sons, John and Henry were quite small. Left an orphan at 10, Henry at his own request was apprenticed to Elijah Sudduth, Probably an Uncle, and Jonathan Armstrong, Blacksmiths, and this was the trade he followed all his active life. Sudduth seems to have had a prosperous business whereever he lived, and, besides his trade, he was also a farmer and an investor in real estate with two thousand acres of land and lots in various townsites at the time of his death. In 1850 he owned eight slaves. In 1838 he was an associate commissioner of the county land board, and from 1848 until 1852 he served as justice of pease for Precinct no. 4 in Newton County.
- Sudduth Married Sally Golden, a Georgina by birth ca. 1811, they were the parents of 5 children - Nancy, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Emily, and John.
