The first reference to the Sutton family in the C. records is when the wid. Margaret Sutton was taxed in 1776. Her name continues on the tax list until 1787, but not appearing as the head of a family in the U.S. Census of 1790, it is presumed that she went to res. with her son John, with whom she remained until her death, 12 March, 1816. Whether she was accompanied by her husband when she came to C. is not known. If so, he d. soon after her arrival. The following entries relative to the Sutton family appear in the town register of births, marriages and deaths: The birth of MICHAEL SUTTON'S children: i. STEPHEN, b. 1 Sept., 1756, probably the Stephen whom. 10 Oct., 1800, Betsey Folsom. ii. Michael, b. 11 Sept., 1757; d. Sept., 1797. iii. Edmund, b. 4 May, 1759, d. 11 Feb., 1776. iv.

Margaret Sutton, the mother of the above, d. 12 March, 1816, aged 86 years, 9 months and 10 days. JOHN(2) SUTTON (Michael(1)) b. 14 Jan., 1762; m. Lydia Lyford, 12 March, 1788. She was b. at Epping, 31 March, 1762, and dau. of John(3) Lyford (Thomas(2), Francis(1)). (See Lyford Gen.) Children: i. JOHN, JR.(3), b. 29 Nov., 1788, d. 14 Sept., 1801. ii.

EDMUND(2), b. in Loudon, 15 Nov., 1782; m. Lucy Morton, b. in Gorham, Me., 1785. Children: 1. Margaret, b. Farmington, Me., 1805. 2. Hannah Adams, b. Freeman, Me., 25 March, 1806. 3. Nancy Carlton, b. Freeman, Me., 17 Sept., 1809. 4. James F., b. 2 Dec., 1816; d. 8 Feb., 1818. 5. Mahala Jane, b. 9 April, 1819. John Sutton was town clerk of C. for several years. The last entry in the early register of vital statistics is as follows: "Where births or marriages are recorded without naming the place, they are to be considered as belonging to Canterbury, so far as has been recorded by me, the subscriber, and I do recommend it to my successors to consider it in like manner or else to note the place of the birth and the place of abode of each person at the time of their marriage:" "John Sutton, Town Clerk. "Canterbury, March, 9, 1806." Stephen Sutton, the first born of Margaret Sutton, appears on the tax list in 1778, when he was in his twenty-second year, and again in 1785 and 1787. He is not found in the U.S. Census of 1790, unless he was residing with one of his brothers. Michael Sutton is taxed for the first time in 1779, again in 1785 and 1787 and he is enumerated in the Census of 1790. His family, including himself, consisted of two males of sixteen or over, two males under sixteen and three females, one of whom was probably his wife. The additional male of sixteen or over may have been his brother Stephen or his brother Solomon. The latter is taxed in 1785 and 1787, but is not found in the Census of 1790. An Edmund Sutton of a later generation, who lived a mile and a quarter north of the Chase farm in the Hill's Corner school district and worked for Levi Chase, must have been a grandson of Margaret Sutton. This Edmund had a dau. who m. Simeon Spencer who was a tenant after m. on the Nathaniel Batchelder place. Page 323 When administration was granted on the estate of Margaret Sutton in 1816, Stephen Sutton declined administration in favor of his brother John. The latter presented a bill for the care of his mother from March, 1806, to March, 1816. There are credits in the bill of payments by Edmund Grover and Capt. Thomas Curry for the use of her place. Mrs. Sutton's real estate consisted of a forty-acre lot in C. which was appraised at $325. John Sutton's bond as administrator was signed by his brother Stephen and by Thomas Lyford. Stephen Sutton resided in the Hill's Corner school district from 1801 to 1805 on the farm where James G. Lyford settled and is said to be buried in the cemetery on that farm. SWASEY. 1.

HUGH(1) TALLANT, b. in Co. Carlow, Ire., was of Scotch descent, and came as a pioneer to Haverhill, Mass., before 1731. He was an employee of Col. Richard Saltonstall, a member of His Majesty's Council. Considerable romance attaches to this first American Tallant. Whittier's poem of "The Sycamores" was written about him. "Green memorials of the gleeman! Linking still the river-shores, With their shadows cast by sunset, Stand Hugh Tallant's sycamores." Page 324 Miss Noyes' "History of Hampstead," says: "Hugh Tallant, . . . who set out the long rows of sycamore trees on the 'Saltonstall seat,' or what has been known in later years as the 'Buttonwoods,' on Water street, Haverhill, came as a pioneer to the 'Island Farm' in 1731. He was known as 'Fiddler Hugh." The "Island farm in Perch pond" originally belonged to Col. Richard Saltonstall. Hugh Tallant afterwards lived in another part of Hampstead, later in Plaistow, and finally Pelham where he d. about 1795. In 1749, Hugh Tallant m.

There is record of the bapt. of Hugh and James, the eldest sons of the second marriage, in the Congregational Church of Hampstead. Certain documents in possession of Mrs. Henry Pinkham Tallant of Nantucket would seem to indicate that Hugh Tallant was a member of the Church of England. His name, however, appears seventh on a list of petitioners of Pelham for a parish. His second wife d. 22 Feb., 1815. Children by first wife: i.
