BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



7^ -^. 



WILLIAM L. SUTTON 



was born in the town of Reading, Steuben Co., N. Y., Nov. 

 6, 1828. He is a descendant of William Smith on the 

 paternal side, who was a soldier under Oliver Cromwell, the 

 English Protector. 



The Sutton family are of English descent, and some of 

 the ancestors were settlers in the Wyoming Valley, and 

 escaped the terrible onslaught of the Indians and Tories in 

 that massacre. 



His father, John Sutton, is a native of Lodi, Seneca 

 Co., N. Y. ; married Catherine Lybolt. By this union 

 there were born six children, of whom only three are living, 

 the subject of this narrative being the eldest. His father 

 is now a resident of Hornellsville. 



At the age of eighteen, Mr. Sutton, desirous of breaking 

 the monotony of home-life, went to Nantucket, where he 

 embarked on the whaling-ship Columbia^ Capt. Joseph C. 

 Chase -^ was on the sea for four years before returning,
