JONAS3 SUTTON
Eighth child of Richard2 Sutton and his wife Sarah Runyan, Jonas
was born April 18, 1721 at Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
He,died at Sandbrook in Hunterdon County in the year 1797. At what
date Jonas Sutton bought his farm at Sandbrook no known record reveals.
The commodious farmhouse still stands and until recent years was occupied.
It is a long inn-like structure, the first story built of stone surfaced
with plaster, and the second story of wood. There is a verandah the full
length of the second-story front, the house being built in the side of a
hill. Originally a lane lead from the buildings to the Flemington Highway;
but the only present approach is by way of another long and
neglected lane, a continuation of the lane of a neighboring farm, in from
Sandbrook.
At the summit of the rising ground on this farm is the Jonas Sutton
family burial ground, long since abandoned; a small square enclosure
fenced round with a rough stone wall. Here and there through a tangle
of woodbine, briars and fallen saplings one catches the gleam of white
marble or one stumbles along amid sunken graves and finds the earlier
and less visible markers of red sandstone. Such is the gravestone of Jonas
Sutton: of carved red sandstone, with the simple inscription:
J.S.
1797
age
76
This record serves to identify the Jonas Sutton who is buried at Sandbrook
with the Jonas Sutton, son of Richard2 , who was born at Piscataway,
April 18, 1721. Near by is another still more simple epitaph:
J.S.
l795
It marks the grave of John Sutton, son of Jonas, whose dates as given
in his family Bible are 1748-1795 and whose intestate papers at Trenton
are dated 1795.
