Dear Becky
Since I have received your post, I have been carefully studying the
Sutfins in Craighead Co. It would seem that there may have been two
sets of Sutfins, and possibly three, that settled there. There was
your bunch, Jake and his two brothers. Then there was the William
Carl Sutfin who was born in MO in 1851. This William seems to
have been a descendant of the Sutfin family that lived just across the
AR border in Stoddard Co., MO. Marysut@aol.com and I have done some
research on this family, but not enough info has been collected to
identify them. See 1860 Stoddard Co.,MO census p374. Do you suppose
that one of Jonathon's sons lived for a time in Stoddard,MO.
Then there was an Americus Sutphin B-1828 who lived in Nashville,TN.
Americus has a son named Louis, who had a son named Isaac Sutfin, that
wed in Craighead Co. There is no reason to believe that the AR, TN
and MO Sutfins are not closely related. This is something that we will
continue to work on.

It seems that you and Bill Couch have done a good job on your Sutfins.
I ran all of the names listed as #3 on Bill's webb page. I had about
the same data as was printed. I am enclosing some data on the other
Sutfins. If you and Bill are working on one family only, just can the
toss unneeded material. If you are doing a Craighead history, then it
may be of use.
Please let me know if I can be of any other assistance to you.
Where do you live??
