Anthony Sutton

[Lee R]

Thank you for your research and thinking of the possibility regarding Anthony Sutton. 
What we have been trying to discover:
Who were Anthony's parents in Ireland
Where are he and his wife Betsey buried in Canada

Our Anthony was born in 1803, but January 11, not the date your Arnold was born.  We have that on a number of documents.  And yes he did marry Elizabeth (Betsey) Gilbert but his Betsey was but 17 (b  Feb 5, 1820) when they were married on July 20 1837.  They had 8 children and Betsey died giving birth to the 8th child, Elsie in 1859. 

However another relative Basil Sutton still with us and living in Ontario Canada believes that Anthony's father could have been named Thomas and his mother may have been Mary, both of Wicklow where Anthony was born.
Basil also believes that Anthony's sister may have been Annie and two brothers were Thomas and John.  We know that Anthony emigrated to Canada the same year as Annie and John.  Anthony went to Southwold Ontario in  1818 when he was just 15 years of age.

The following is verbatim from Basil Sutton and since you are so familiar with Wicklow it may give you (or others reading this )an idea.

Basil Sutton writes:
"Annie Sutton
Annie Sutton and her older brother John emigrated from Glasnamullen, County Wicklow in 1818 (same time as Anthony)and came to Montreal where Annie stayed while John went to New York. John then went to Southwold township and sent for Annie. The article states that Annie’s father was a surgeon.
Annie Sutton married Thomas Sharon. They had a farm on the west side of Frome.
Thomas' brother Hugh, owned the farm beside them. Annie taught school at Frome for many years. Annie and Thomas are buried in the Frome United Church cemetery. She lived to be 88 and Thomas was 89 when he died.

Thomas Sutton, a bachelor brother came over later and settled in Southwold

   John Sutton
   John Sutton with a wife and 7 children settled on Lot 21 on April 12, 1814. His wife died soon after at age 31 and is buried on his farm part of which later became the south part of the Frome United Church cemetery.
   John later married Catherine A Halls who was 25 years younger than him
   His son John Wesley, married Dolphine ? and carried on the farm and their son Harnum W, married Mary A Charlston in St Thomas"
I am wondering if this information may give someone a clue.
Thank you so much for thinking of this and to all who may help in our quest.   Lee R

Hello Lee,

Just wondered if you had read in inclusion on  Ancestry.com about Annie Sutton and Thomas Sharon?
 It's a very interesting and informative article about the life of Annie and her involevment with the Temperance Movement. 
The tree in which it appears is named ShaornKnoxRobinsonHammondTree 2010.
Hope you find it, if you haven't already done so.

Hi, the original burial book for Calary is still in use. Calary parish was formed in 1832 and there are many Suttons of Glassnamullen listed in the burial book, the earliest being a baby (Elizabeth Victoria) in 1897. However, as Glassnamullen had previously been part of what is now Powerscourt Parish, Suttons continued to be buried at the old graveyard of Stagonil on the Powerscourt estate. Thre is still a family of Suttons farming at Glassnamullen.

Hello Lee.
I too am looking for information going back to Wicklow, Ireland. My Great, Great, Great Grandfather was John Bates (possibly John William) and was married to Elizabeth Sutton of Wicklow. (Elizabeth Sutton Bates was born in 1798 in Wicklow, Wicklow, Ireland. She had one son with John Bates Sr in 1821. She died on October 11, 1869, in Montréal, Quebec, at the age of 71.) Am looking at your post and see a pretty good connection. Let me know if this helps and if you have found any other information. I have a complete Geno of the Bates side from them to my grandkids. If you think there is a link I can fill in more details.

Greetings,
My Great, Great, Great Grandfather was John Bates Sr., born October 1800 of Wexford. He married Elizabeth Sutton, born June 21, 1798 of Wicklow, Ireland. They had four sons, Edward (1821-1837), John Jr. (1825-1895), William Arnold (1826-1892), and Thomas Sutton (1830-1908). Elizabeth died October 11, 1869, in Montréal, Quebec, and John Sr. died February 6, 1876, in Montréal, Quebec.
John and Elizabeth immigrated from Ireland to Montreal in 1832 with their four sons. I'm looking for any information  prior to they're immigration from Ireland.
