William of Scituate and Eastham, and of Piscataway, N.J., Quaker, b.
about 1641; d. 28 of 4m. 1718; m. (1) at Eastham, on Cape Cod, 11 July
1666, Damaris Bishop, d. 6 Feb. 1682/3, daughter of Richard and Alice
(Martin) (Clark) Bishop; m. (2) Jane Barnes, daughter of James Barnes.
William Sutton first appears at Barnstable, on Cape Cod, where, on 5
June 1666, he was haled into court and fined for purloining the Bible
from the meeting house, "one pound and for telling a lye about the
same, ten shillings." His departure from the town was probably
expedited by these occurences, and a few weeks later, at the
neighboring settlement of Eastham, he took refuge in matrimony with
Damaris Bishop. They had ten children, the first three born in
Eastham, and the rest born in Piscataway. (New England Historic
Genealogical Register, Volume 91, January 1937)

"John Sutton (the only son of John Sutton as yet discovered)
apparently lived first at Hingham, but later removed to Scituate, in
the Plymouth Colony, where on 2 Dec 1653 he sold the lands "which the
town of Hingham gave to John Sutton, my father." He was therefore of
age at this date. Frequently mentioned in the Scituate records, he
married ther 1 Jan 1661, Elizabeth House (Vital Records of Scituate,
vol. 2, p. 283), the daughter of Samuel House. John Sutton had a large
family. Children listed. John Sutton, Senior of Scituate, "aged 70
years or there abouts" in his will dated 12 Nov 1691, mentions the
names of his children." ("Proceedings of the N.E. Hist. Gen. Society",

"William Sutton first appears at Barnstable, on Cape Cod, where on 5
June 1666, he was hauled to court and fined for purloining the Bible
from the meeting house," one pound,and for telling a lye about the
same, ten shillings."(One year later,6 June 1667,it was reported that
William still owed 10 shillings of his fine.) His departure from the
town was probably expedited by these occurences, and a few weeks
later, at the neighboring settlement of Eastham, he took refuge in
matrimony with Damaris Bishop. (Sutton Searchers newsletter #2 July
1991)
". . . he [William Sutton] lived in Eastham from 1666 to Oct 1671. . .
. He went west to NJ about 1672 or 1673. The quest of religious
freedom was perhaps the reason for his removal, since in the NJ Colony
he was an influential Quaker. On or near the Partian River, not far
from the present town of New Brunswick, William Sutton settled and
prospered. Known for his fair dealing with the Indians, the wolves and
forest were his only enemies. In 1682 he was the owner of 249 acres if
land. He held the office of freeholder constable and town clerk. In
1713 he was spoken of as an aged man and he was buried in the Quaker
churchyard in Woodbridge." (Outlaw Genealogy, Albert Timothy Outlaw &
Arnie Henry Outlaw)

Notes:

Richard married Alice Clark on December 5, 1644 [possibly as his
second wife]. She was the widow of George Clark, and tragically ended
her life by murdering her own child, and was subsequently hung
therefor, in 1648. There is a mournful account of the murder by Alice
Bishop of her daughter, Martha Clarke, 4 years old, July 22, 1648
(Savage, Vol. I, page 393). She also had another daughter, Abigail
Clark. There is also reference to "Damaris, (wife of the first William
Sutton), daughter of Alice and Richard Bishop". When William Sutton
removed to New Jersey, Bishop sold his property at Duxbury, and went
to live with him. Richard Bishop was called "of Piscattaway in
Artercull or New Jersey," when he sold to Capt. Benjamin Church his
property in the Colony (Winsor's Duxbury, page 228.).

Richard married Alice Martin. Alice was born in 1616; died on 4 Oct 1648 in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Alice Bishop-by Shirley Cravens, IBSSG
Alice BISHOP Story with Information given me states:
We declare that coming into the house of said Richard Bishop we saw at
the foot of a ladder leading to the upper chamber, much blood and
going up all of us into the chamber, we found a woman child of about
four years of age lying in her shift upon her left cheek, with her
throat cut with gashes crossways, the wind pipe cut and stuck into the
throat downward and bloody knife lying by the side of the child. The
said Alice Bishop hath confessed to the five of us at one time that
she murdered the child with said knife. Rachell, the wife of Joseph
Ramsden, aged about 23 years, being examined, said that coming to the
house of Richard Bishop on an errand, the wife of Richard Bishop,
Alice, requested her to go fetch her some buttermilk at Goodwife
Winslows, and gave her a kettle for that purpose and she went and did
it and before she went she saw the child lying in bed asleep to her
best discerning and the woman was as well as she has known her to be.
When she came back for Goodwife Winslows she found her sad and
dumpish. She asked her what blood she saw at the ladders foot and she
pointed into the chamber and bid her look, but she perceived that she
had killed the child and being afraid, she refused and ran and told
her father and mother. Moreover she said the reason she believed she
had killed the child when she saw the blood she looked on the bed and
the child was not there. At a court of Assistants held at New Plymouth
the first of August, 1648 before M. Bradford, governor, Mr. Coliar,
Captain Miles Standish and Mr. William Thomas, gent, assistants the
said Alice being examined, confessed she did commit the aforesaid
murder and is sorry for it. A list of jurors for inquest and the jury
that found her guilty is listed . These found the Alice Bishop guilty
of the said felonious murder of Martha Clarke. She had the sentence of
death pronounced against her. To be taken from the place where she was
to the place from whence she came, and thence to the place of
execution, and there is be hanged by the neck until her body is death,
which accordingly was executed. (See also following entry)
-Alice Bishop-
by Susan, IBSSG
Her name is Alice Martin Clarke Bishop(my 10 or 11th great
grandmother). She was executed in the Plymouth Colony in 1648 for the
murder of her daughter, Martha Clark by her first marriage. She was
the first woman hanged in the colonies. I feel there is more to this
story than has been told and I am currently exploring it. Here is the
excerpt from one of the Plymouth histories:
In July 1648 a coroners jury reported that "coming into the house of
the said Richard Bishope we saw at the foot of a ladder which leadeth
into an upper chamber, much blood; and going up all of us into the
chamber, we found a woman child of about four years of age lying in
her shifte uppon her left chek with her throut cut with divers gashed
cross ways the wind pipe cut and stuke into the throat downward, and a
bloody knife lying by the side of the child, with which knife all of
us judge and the said allis hath confessed to five of us at one time,
that shee murdered the child with the said knife." Rachel Ramsden
testified that when she went to Richard Bishops' house on an errand,
"the wife of the said Richard Bishope requested her to go fetch her
some buttermilk at goodwife winslows and gave her a ketle for that
purpose and she went and did it and before she went she saw the child
lying abed asleep. But when she came she found alice bishop sad and
dumpish she asked her what blood was that she saw at the ladders foot
she pointed unto the chamber and bid her look but she perseived she
had killed her child and being afraid she refused and ran and told her
father and mother. Moreover she saith the reason that moved her to
think she had kelled her child was that when she saw the blood she
looked on the bed and the child was not there. The child was alice
martin clarke bishop's daughter martha clark by alice's first husband
george clark. On 1 august 1648 alice bishop confessed she had murdered
her daughter and said she was sorry for it. And on 4 october 1648 she
was sentenced to be hanged, which accordingly was executed."
Plymouth Colony its History and People 1620-1691
Some other interesting evidence I found was that at some point Alice
stated she "had no recollection" of the event but pleaded "no contest"
to the murder. These statements are from the jury records. Again I
feel strongly that there is something missing. Perhaps she did do it,
but something in the evidence and in my gut tells me there's more than
is being told.

Notes:

Elder Nathaniel Tilden came from Tenterden in Kent, with his family, before 1628. He was chosen Ruling Elder of the first Church in Scituate 1634. His house lot was on Kent-street, the 3d. south of Greenfield lane. He had also lands at Long marsh: and lands also in 1640, on the east side of the North River, below Gravelly beach. Nathaniel arrived in New England in 1634 in the ship Hercules, of Dover, with his wife and children (Joseph, Mary, Sarah, Judith, Lydia, Stephen, and Thomas), and the following, who came under the designation of 'servants:' Thomas Lapham, George Sutton, Edward Ford, Edward Jenkins, James Bennett, Sarah Couchman, and Mary Perien. The Rev. William Witherell came on this same boat. "Nathaniel Tilden was among the earliest of the 'Men of Kent' who established plantations at Satuit before 1628, others being Anthony Annable, Thomas Bird, Edward Foster, William Gillson, Henry Merritt, Henry Rowley, Nathaniel Tilden, and Deane says, 'perhaps others.' Nathaniel was a Magistrate in Tenterden, and elected to the office of Mayor. "Elder Nath'l Tilden was the ancestor of nearly all the Tildens in Marshfield. He was one of three borothers, and they were called 'Men of Kent,' from England. He came to Scitaute at that portion called 'Tow Mile' tract, now known as North Marshfield, in 1628. His farm extended both sides of North River, part of it being on 'Gravelly beach.

Nathaniel married Lydia Hucstepe about 1606 in Tenterden, Kent Co., England. Lydia (daughter of Stephen Hucstepe and Winnifred Hatch) was born on 11 Feb 1586/1587 in Tenterden, Kent Co., England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
