END OF DOCUMENT

Comments:

Sutten is a variation of the surname, Sutton.

Benjamin did not have a son named, Simon. But Simon is believed to be 
a brother of Benjamin, and both were sons of John Sutton who migrated 
to Bucklesberry from Bertie Co. However, Simon is not a proven son of 
John, per Martha Mewborn Marble.

The last digit of the year on the document has been cut away and is 
unreadable. Another document in the Collection with Simon's name is 
clearly dated 1786, thus a circa date of 1786 has been assigned to the 
current document.

Moses Westbrook, Jr. was born in 1788 in Dobbs County and died in 1860 
in Jefferson, AL. The Moses Westbrook named in this document would have 
been his father, Moses Westbrook, Sr. who died in 1816, married to Persis 
Young. See https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=130953784
