• Notes

  Biography Father of Plymouth Colony Immigrants George & Simon Sutton? Nov 2021 update: review of Biddenden parish records on findmypast.co.uk which include original images uncovered these records related to Robert Sutton proving, among other things, that he did indeed have sons George and Simon among others. Whether any of this family emigrated to New England has apparently not been proven and no son John was found (relevant to discussion on whether the John Sutton family of Scituate, Plymouth Colony was related to Simon and George Sutton). The origins of Robert are not known with certainty, the Robert Sutton supposedly of Lincolnshire and Elizabeth Trythe who married in 1587 in Edlesborough, Bucks. linked as his parents have no sources except their own marriage. Lincolnshire is 100 miles from Edlesborough and another 100 miles from Biddendent, Kent so it seems extremely unlikely that there is any actual direct connection between these people. A birthdate of about 1580 is reasonable given his first known marriage in 1606 (he could obviously be older and have had a prior marriage). Marriage & Children Marriage to Mary Austen 13 Oct 1606 (given the later burial record this is very likely the correct marriage)[1] George christened 27 Dec 1607 The alias "Baldock" originally seen on father Robert's profile comes from this christening showing Robert as "alias Baldock" or something similar. The original register image on findmypast.co.uk is clearly readable showing this alias. Interestingly, the christening is written twice, once with the alias and once without, 2 lines apart. Twins "Gylbert" and Bernard 13 Sep 1612 (indexed searches of this register at various sites show only Bernard/Barnard but the register is in good shape and clearly legible showing clearly the twin brother Gylbert. Robert Jr. 26 Feb 1614 Simon 19 Dec 1619[2] On 8 Mar 1620/21 Mary, wife of Robert Sutton was buried at Biddenden. A possible entry for Robert Sutton, broadweaver of Biddenden appears at the UK National Archives under this text: William Austen of Biddenden, tailor, to appear and to keep the peace; surety, Robert Sutton of the same, broadweaver
