Sutton, PhD, sutton@edtesting.com, March 31, 2018. Clellan Sutton Collection, Bucklesberry Community, La Grange, NC. BENJAMIN SUTTON, SR. TO WILLIAM CROOM, 1792 On or before the first day of January Next. I promise to pay on Cause to be paid unto William Croom his heirs the just sum quantity of four thousand five hundred Weight of fat meat Merchanable pork It being due for Value Received this 24th day of February 1792 Test Thos Uzzell [Bottom right-corner torn off] [Back side of document] B Suton to Wm Croom END OF DOCUMENT Comments: The left and right halves of this document, found in Collection as separate documents, have been rejoined. There is a capital letter to the left of Suton on the back side of the document. Faint, but the capital letter appears to have a large loop in the upper-part of the letter, suggesting the likelihood that it is a capital, B. An 1802 receipt in this Collection, also signed by William Croom, shows a capital B in Benjamin’s name with a similar large loop in the upper-part of the capital B. Therefore, we can safely surmise that this is a Benjamin Sutton document, in particular, since it is dated in the same year range as other Benjamin Sutton documents in the Collection. Sutton on the back side of document, written as Suton, is misspelled.
