MYSTERY MAN 
CORNELIS SUTTON
of UNKNOWN DECENT
My SUTTON line of decent. A Brief Chart:
- Who was Father of Cornelius Sutton Sr??(Who
was Mother of Cornelius
Sutton Sr.? maiden name could have been, Jane Clawson
(according to DAVIS book, page 707,
this name Clawson is a corruption of the Dutch name Claessen, that was
actually the original earlier name of Claes or Nicholas Corniliszen, who
was born in Holland 1597 and probably came to New Amsterdam, New York,
on March 4, 1637 with his son Peter Corniliszen.)
