END OF DOCUMENT

Comments:

Benjamin Sutton had a brother named, John Sutton (b. ca. 1758; 
d. 1820-1830), and his name legitimately could have included 
the suffix, Junior. However, the John, Jr. identified in this 
document is most likely Benjamin’s son, John (b. 1779; d. ca. 
1858), which means the Junior suffix is probably misassigned. 
In 1808, Benjamin’s son, John, would have been a young adult 
of about 29 years of age, not yet married, with no known children 
at the time, and was probably still dependent on his father for 
subsistence. Here we see what appears to be his father, Benjamin, 
paying his tab.
