Cornelius Sutton 1750-1850



Cornelius Sutton is my 6th great grandfather. He was born 30 Oct 1750 and died 30 Sep 1850. He lived to be 99 years old. So far, he seems to be the relative that lived the longest that I found so far. He was born in New Jersey and he died in West Virginia. The 1850 Federal census puts his at 99 years old. He was living with Nathan and Jane Davis.  Cornelius parents were Amos Sutton and Jane Clawson They both were born in New Jersey.  Cornelius was married twice. The first marriage was to Elizabeth Applegate and the 2nd was to Elizabeth Davis. She was married to the Deacon Ephraim Maxson in 1764.

Cornelius and Elizabeth Applegate children:
Sarah 1779-1863
Hannah 1774-1854
Cornelius 1780-1859
John 1785-1869

I am not sure who Nathan & Jane Davis is that Cornelius is living with. They could be related. I do know that the Sutton, Davis, and Maxson families were very close.
