Everts and Abbott - 1879 Page 279 ANDREW F. SUTTON Mr. Sutton, the third son and the third child in a family of seven chil- dren, was born Nov. 20, 1817, in the State of New Jersey. His parents were Micaiah and Rachel (Freeman) Sutton, and were farmers. The elder Sutton also carried on the tanning and currying business. A. F. Sutton came to his present location in Flushing about the year 1863, and purchased — opposite his present residence — a farm of Jarvis Bailey. After his arrival in Genesee County, Mr. Sutton was married, in Flint, to Jeannette Boomer, who died in Flushing, and in 1865 he married the widow of Linus Jacox. Mrs. Sutton was born Aug. 15, 1817, in Putnam County, N. Y., and about 1837 came to Michigan with her mother, Mrs. Davenport, who purchased a farm near Clarkston, in Oakland County. Mr. Davenport's decease occurred before the family removed from New York. The daughter was subsequently married to Linus Jacox, who also lived near Clarkston, and about 1854 came with her husband to Flushing, he purchasing the place where Mr. and Mrs. Sutton now reside. Mr. Bailey, the former owner, had cleared to some extent on the farm, but made no further improvements, and Mr. Jacox built the house now standing east of Mr. Sutton's residence, and also erected barns. The pre- sent dwelling of Mr. Sutton was built in 1875. The farm now contains one hundred acres. Linus Jacox died in November, 1861, and his widow (whose maiden name was Rachel Davenport) was married to Mr. Sutton, as above stated. Mr. Sutton and Mrs. Jacox had each four children — three sons and a daughter — when married. Mr. Sutton is a Republican in politics, and both he and his wife are connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Flushing. ========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our free online information by going to the following url: http://www.us-data.org/ ==========================================================================
