1.  Jacob Sutton was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania in the late 1790s. On December 3, 1818, he married Sarah McDowell in Butler County, Ohio. He appears to have relocated to Fayette County Indiana in the 1820s.  By 1830, Sarah was listed as the head of household which indicates that he died in the 1820s.

2.  Rachel was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania on February 5, 1799, or 1800. On February 25,1819, she married Samuel McVicker in Butler County, Ohio. They were early settlers of Indiana's Wabash County.  She died on August 25, 1863 and was buried at the Old Cemetery in Lagro, Indiana.
