END OF DOCUMENT

Comments:

Hardy Sutton died Sept. 11, 1861, approximately three months
before the date of this document.

This document is the first in the Clellan Sutton Collection in 
which the suffix, Sr. (Senior) occurs with Hardy Sutton's name. 
Use of Sr. presupposes there is a son whose name is the same as 
the father's and which Jr. (Junior) has been assigned. Technically, 
Sr. was incorrectly used in this document with Hardy's name since 
none of his and wife, Annie Hill Sutton's sons were named Hardy 
Sutton, Jr.

Benjamin Franklin Sutton was a son of Hardy and Annie Hill Sutton.

The names and accompanying signatures of the borrowers of this 
document are absent, having been torn from the document.
