Along with Thomas Sutton came his father, Joseph Sutton, and his brother, William Sutton. The Suttons purchased land and settled about one mile south of the "lake" (this lake was drained for use as crop land in 1896). It is said that Thomas Sutton had 19 children, and was jokingly bothered that there were not 20. After Thomas, Joseph, and William Sutton moved to Harmon Township, Illinois, they were joined by Thomas Sutton's brother-in-law, Patrick Grogan in 1856. |
