Illinois: History of Cass County, Illinois, ed. William Henry Perrin. O. L. Baskin & Co. Historical Publishers, Chicago, 1882. Cass County. NATHAN SUTTON, farmer; P.O., Chandlerville; son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Robe) Sutton; was born Jan. 22, 1819, in the State of New Jersey. When four years old his parents emigrated to Michigan, and settled within five miles of where the city of Ann Arbor now stands. Here the family resided some ten years, and then emigrated to Cass County, Ill. They located on Pecan Bottom, about six miles above the present neat and flourishing town of Chandlerville. Here the parents died-Mrs. Sutton about 1837, and her husband about 1839. They were exemplary Christians, and repose in, hope of better resurrection. They left behind them a family of six children: Sylvester, Nathan, Nelson, George, Mrs. Sarah A. (Isaac) White, and Mrs. Eliza (Charles) Corey. Mr. Sutton, probably has had as varied an experience as any man of his age resident of the county. Born in the cultivated society of the East, he was taken into a new State when quite young, spent some ten years among the Indians, where white men were so seldom seen that he was actually afraid of them when he chanced to meet them. Cass County was but sparsely settled when he first came into it. Aug.4, 1842, Mr. Sutton married Miss Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Merrill) Mamar, formerly of the State of Maryland. This union has been blessed with the following children: William S., Alonzo, John H., David L., Winfield S., Mrs. Clara (Joshua) Conger, Benjamin R., Cbarry E. Personally, it is not necessary to say one word of Mr. S. and lady, as they are well known in their part of the county as being among the best of our citizens. They are both members in good standing in the Baptist Church, he being a deacon among this people. Sutton Robe White Corey Merrill Mamar Conger = NJ MI MD
