~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NC SUPREME COURT CASE #11,896 – BENJAMIN SUTTON, Adm, WILLIAM H. WEST, Exec – June 1877 – Lenoir County. Found at the NC Archives. Submitted by Martha Mewborn Marble.
Benjamin Sutton, Adm of Elizabeth A. Sutton vs W. H. West, Exec of Kennian T. West Undertaking on appeal In Jan. 1877 the plaintiff recovered judgement against the defendant for $500 with interest – the defendant intend to appeal to the NC Supreme Court.
Will of Kennian West was included in the Case and has already appeared in a previous copy of the Newsletter.
Kennian West died in Craven County in 1865 with a Will – the Testator had four children – W. H. West, B. C. West, M. A. Stevenson and S. B. West by his first wife who had received from their grandfather, Jesse Jackson, father of the first wife about $500 each. All were above 21 years old – when the testator died he had nine children by his 2nd wife – T. L. West, W. C. Sutton, E. A. West, I. P. West, J. L. West, F. N. West, S. A. West, E. R. West, and R. L. West, all minors except T. L. West and W. C. Sutton. Prior to making his Will the testator had conveyed to said T. L. West a tract of land valued at $1000. No advancement had been made by said testator to the other children by his 2nd wife.
The plaintiff had intermarried with Elizabeth A. West daughter of sd Testator about 1 Nov. 1866. Elizabeth died intestate in Lenoir County about 12 July 1867 and the plaintiff was appointed the Administrator. The plaintiff had demanded from the defendant the sum of $500 with interest on 9 June 1875 and the defendant has refused on grounds that Elizabeth A. Sutton died before Robert L. West the youngest child of sd Kennian T. West arrived at the age of 12 and the legacy was contingent on the sd Elizabeth living to Robert becoming 12 years of age. Robert arrived at the age of 12 on 9 June 1875 after the death of Elizabeth.
Judgement found for the plaintiff.

Martha, First, a friendly reminder that in a post such as below, it is useful to tell people where things are posted. I found the Sutton family info at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paday/dobbers/Sutton.html <http://216.32.180.250:80/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=5934bd3f73a3337bfdcaa4e81407f140&lat=1029882252&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2ffreepages%2egenealogy%2erootsweb%2ecom%2f%7epaday%2fdobbers%2fSutton%2ehtml> - on Old Dobbers'. Second, I extend my thanks to those who contributed. Third, I would like to contribute some information. On the "Descendants of Benjamin Sutton" page, William Sutton, son of Benjamin2, is listed with his two wives Wilmouth Albertson and Wealthy Catherine West. Within that section, it states "It is not exactly clear on the 1870 Census who all the people in his household were - his children or siblings." I would like to clear up who all the people on the 1870 Census were:
Sutton, William 46 Son of Benjamin2, as noted above. ", Wealthy 27 (Wealthy Catherine West) Second wife of William, daughter of Kinnian Terrance West and Theresa Watson (2nd wife). ", Benjamin 25 Son of William and his first wife Wilmouth Albertson. ", William 22 (William Edward Sutton) Son of William and his first wife Wilmouth Albertson. ", James 19 Son of William and his first wife Wilmouth Albertson. ", Allen 21 (Allen Whitfield Sutton) Half-brother of William, son of Benjamin2 and Eliza Herring. ", India P. 23 (Indiana Priscilla West) Daughter-in-law of William, wife of Benjamin (four names above), sister of Wealthy, daughter of Kinnian Terrance West and Theresa Watson. ", Louisa 16 (Louisa Rebecca Sutton) Half-sister of William, daughter of Benjamin2 and Eliza Herring, twin of Eli (below). ", Eli 16 (Isaac Eli Sutton) Half-brother of William, son of Benjamin2 and Eliza Herring, twin of Louisa (above). ", Sophia 13 (Sophia Alice West) Sister of Wealthy, daughter of Kinnian Terrance West and Theresa Watson. NOT a Sutton (she later married Jesse Frederick Evans). ", Buckney 14 (James Buchanan Sutton) Half-brother of William, son of Benjamin2 and Eliza Herring. ", Susan P. 6 Daughter of William and Wealthy. ", Speight 4 (William Speight Sutton) Son of William and Wealthy (middle name after Wealthy's half-brother Speight Brock West, my 2-great grandfather). ", Henry 2 (Henry India Sutton) Son of William and Wealthy. ", Guy 6/12 (Thomas Guy Sutton) Son of William and Wealthy. ", Mary S. 1 Granddaughter of William, daughter of Benjamin (3rd listed) and India (7th listed). Moses, WH 23 Laborer on farm.
William took in some of his siblings when his father died, and Wealthy did the same. Kinnian Terrance West died Nov. 27, 1865, and his younger children were distributed among several of the older ones. I do not know whether Wealthy took in her sister India before or after India married Benjamin, William's son. India would have been 17 1/2 when Kinnian died. Interestingly, I have family notes passed to me that indicate Wealthy and India's sister Elizabeth Adeline West (b. Feb. 4, 1844) married a Benjamin Sutton. I have no further information on this Elizabeth, although it is possible that she married Benjamin first, then died, and India married him. Some day I will pursue that. Wealthy's sister Sophia is listed as a dittoed Sutton, but is still a West, as can be seen in the 1880 Census, where she has moved to her half-brother William Henry West's household.
I hope this is useful! Bob West
Kinnian married Teresa Watson. (Teresa Watson was born in 1818 and died after 1865.)
Kinnian next married 1st Wife Catherine Jackson. (1st Wife Catherine Jackson was born in 1810 and died in 1835.)
