William Sutton was originally from Hornecastle, and had married Catharine Brown Sunego at the Credit River mission in the Home District. William and Catharine (Nahneebahweequay) moved their family to the Owen Sound area in the 1840s. One of their daughters was also named Sophia. There is a photograph of William's mother in the Grey County Archives. Jean Reeve wrote: "Mr. Sutton and William Sutton were brothers; so Wm.
