    Sutton Origins Robert Sutton
(not Robert Ambrose Sutton)		 This couple is speculated to be the parents of the below George Sutton per a well-researched discussion at Geni.com RE: George Sutton (not George Ambrose). Mary Austen According to the Committee on Heraldry's (of the New England Historic Genealogy Society) Index to the Roll of Arms, Nathaniel Tilden is listed on Roll 564 as having migrated from England in 1635 and settled in Massachusetts. According to Nancy Purchase as depicted on Geni.com: Elder Nathaniel Tilden -- from the source Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis (1885-1996)... -- Nathaniel Tilden came to New England on the ship Hercules 1634-1635. "In New England he was also a town officer and a ruling elder" (p. 331, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1911, Volume LXV) ca. 1640 according to Plymouth Colony Biographical Sketches.

Nathaniel and Lydia Tilden lived in Scituate, MA, and were Puritan immigrants. They migrated to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the Hercules of Sandwich (on 4 March 1634/5, "Nathaniel Tilden of Tenterden in Kent, yeoman, & Lidia his wife," children "Joseph, Thomas, Stephen, Marie, Sara, Judeth [and] Lidia," and servants "Tho[ma]s Lapham, Geo[rge] Sutton, Edw[ar]d Ford, Edw[ar]d Jeakins, Sara Couchman, Marie Perien [and] James Bennet," were enrolled at Sandwich as passengers for New England on the Hercules) (Source: FindAGrave).

        "Goodman" George Sutton
b. ca. 1607, Biddenden, Kent County, England
Baptised December 1607 in Billington, Kent County, England.
d. 12 April 1669, Albemarle Co., Perquimans District, North Carolina		 m. 13 March 1636/1637, Scituate, Massachusetts (the same day her sister Mary Elizabeth Tilden married Thomas Lapham)

George Sutton served as a servant in the party of Nathaniel Tilden (his future father-in-law) of Tenterden, Kent Co., England. He sailed in 1634 on the Hercules of Sandwich , Kent Co., England, and landed in Massachusetts that year. He may have been one of those poorer Puritans who often worked their passage to America with wealthier relatives or friends. Within two years of the settlement group at Scituate, Massachusetts, he married Sarah Tilden, daughter of Nathaniel Tilden. "While some researchers think George Sutton was a Quaker and left England for religious reasons, no evidence of same has been uncovered. There is no proof of that speculation and indeed according to The History of Scituate the first Quakers did not arrive there until the Suttons had left the area. ... Although there is no direct evidence for any Quaker activities for George Sutton, his disappearance from Plymouth Colony records occurred at a time when Quaker activities were increasing there and some of his descendants became Quakers in NC." George Sutton is in the 1643 Scituate List of men able to Bear Arms.
