Letter dated 2 July 1994 from Mrs. R.C. Kellerman, 1851 Beech
Grove Dr,Cincinnati, OH 45233:
Dear Cousin Jim:
I guess you have heard that all family members to a Scotsman are
"cousins." I recently answered a letter from Ian R.
Smith [PO Box 151, Danville, Quebec,J0A 1A0, CANADA] who sent
me your address with an inquiry.
There is very little I know about the SUTTON family except the
first generation were Mary Bean Abercrombie - called
"Polly",
daughter of Robert Spence ABERCROMBIE and Mary BEAN, who married
James SUTTON on 5 Oct 1846. [This would be the William Hamilton
SUTTON listed on the marriage register entry at St. Pauls Church,
Kingsey, Drummond, Quebec.] My information has been handed down
to me through the family. I do not know how much of it has been
documented. According to my records James & Mary had six
children:
John, George, WIlliam, Mary, James and Clara. Clara married a
man named Jenkins. John married in 1847 Sarah Hamilton. [This
date is incorrect as John was born in 1847.] They had a daughter,
Maud, who married Carl Witter and lived first in Worcester, Mass.
then moved to Coral Gables, FL.
I think the best thing for me to do is to send you the
information
that I have on a chart. I made the chart from information I got
here and there along with information my uncle Towne ABERCROMBIE
wrote in a book, but never had the money to publish it. I believe
his Great -grandson who is in law school is planning to copy it
on some kind of a copy machine. Since he is busy with school,
I haven't any idea when that will be accomplished.
One story that I think you should know so that you can understand
some of the things on my chart. It is an undocumented family
story
about Mary & Hannah her sister two years younger. The two
girls were working in a logging camp one winter cooking and
housekeeping
for the loggers. Evidently James SUTTON was one of the loggers.
He must have been sleeping with both the sisters and both became
pregnant. Their father, Robert Spence ABERCROMBIE, told James
to make the choice - which one did he choose to marry? Mary was
very pretty and he chose her. Then Robert Spence and Mary Bean
ABERCROMBIE adopted Hannah's baby, a son named George Norman.
Much later Hannah married Mathew Stewart, but for a while Hannah
and her son lived at home. Evryone like Hannah and George. Mary
and Hannah were very close friends. I've heard they are buried
in a common grave in Danvile Protestant Cemetery [Danville,
Richmond
Cty, Quebec]. I visited there many years ago and didn't quite
understand the double grave, but now I've heard there is a new
marker.
If you have any questions on the enclosed chart, I'll try to
answer
them. I'm 80 years old.
Sincerely, Dorothy KELLERMAN
