Genealogical Notes of the Sutton Family of New Jersey

A tradition, current among Suttons
both in Indiana County and in New Jersey, states
that Peter Sutton was, in his younger days, captured
by a band of Indians, to whom he had made
himself obnoxious. At nightfall a huge lire was
lighted, and a council assembled about it, to
determine what should be done with him. Supposing
that he did not understand their language,
they discussed freely the tortures to be inflicted.
Some suggested flaying alive, others burning at
the stake, and so on. They had not taken the
precaution to bind their captive, and he, at an opportune moment, seized a young Indian who
chanced to be near, pitched him into the fire, and
ran for his life. The diversion thus created gave
him a little start, and reaching a stream which was
crossed by means of a big log, he plunged in and
hid himself under it. When his pursuers had
passed over it, he made good his escape.
