de Sutton Family - Ourfolk
1st Lord of Sutton on 1079.
'The Suttons were Normans in the beginning and before
anybody had a surname in the modern sense. It is one of the
few names which is practically without variants, although one
New England forbearer tried 'Sutten' apparently, however, with
indifferent success, as few, if any of the family now spell it with
an 'e'. The first Sutton was a Norman and in the train of William
the Conqueror when he started upon his never-to-be-forgotten
expedition. Sutton-upon-Trent was granted to him as his share
of the spoils, to have and to hold forever, and so the Norman
Sutton became an English Sutton. (All of this information on the
Sutton family is from page 6, 7 and 8 of an unknown publication
with the heading of 'Decendants of the Sutton-Beasley family of
Brown Co., Ohio.')
Sud-tun, meaning a place of dwelling in the South, is the original
form of Sutton, and is the name of a large number of towns in
England.
More than fifty coats of arms have been granted to the family,
which indicates their rank among the English gentry. There were
the Suttons of Sutton, in Holderness; the Suttons of
Sutton-Madoc, in Shropshire; and the Suttons of
Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. These were three among
the many branches of the family tree planted in England by the
Norman founder.'
