                   NOTE:
      James Sutton or James Peterson
      James SUTTON came from NJ via Fayette Co. PA (Brown's History of Crawford Co. PA, p.554) and used the surname PETERSON throughout his life. He built the first grist mill in the eastern portion of the county and his son, Ezra, the first saw-mill at Custard's Post Office or Glendale (Brown's History of Crawford Co. PA, pp.554-555). James married Elizabeth ABBIT, daughter of Abdon ABBIT Sr. of Salem Co. NJ, and was identified by earlier researchers as the son of Thomas Coates SUTTON (AFN: KRQC-53, LDS Ancestral File). That James Sutton and James Peterson were indeed one and the same is verified by family legend and by both his and his wife, Elizabeth's, wills wherein reference is made to Elizabeth's share of an estate in NJ (James: Will Book B: 13 and Elizabeth: Will Book B:178 Crawford Co. PA Courthouse). Further verification is found in the will of Abdon ABBIT Sr. (Salem Co. NJ, 1790, #1992Q) which is the estate in question.
