Here is my Albertson ancestry: http://family.beacondeacon.com/newby.htm#albertson

Hi James Arthur Johnson

Can you set up a profile as the 1st husband of Mary Sutton, later Albertson ?

I will look for the family of origin - I know there was a Sutton family who migrated to NC from Scituate, MA, but I’m not sure how proven it is.

Private User Called my attention to this discussion.

Here are the parents suggested for this Mary. What do we think ?

Sarah Sutton & George Sutton

George and Sarah (Tilden) Sutton are the parents I have for her at http://family.beacondeacon.com/sutton.htm#suttontilden and my sources are at the top of that page: http://family.beacondeacon.com/sutton.htm

All I have on her first husband is John Gosby/Gosbey of Long Island. Should I create a profile for him and link it to Mary Albertson ?

The problem is that it mistakenly has her as the daughter of John and Mary Gosby.

Yes, I will disconnect from wrong parents, please create the Godby husband, you can estimate his death date as before the date of her 2nd Marriage.

I don’t object to your source, so my suggestion for technique would be to create a Mary Sutton sister to Sarah Cox and then merge Mary into her. I find this a safer technique to use.

Here’s a little more Supporting data:

From https://www.ancestry.com/boards/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=132&p...

“I believe it was Albert Albertson, not Nicholas "the Swede", who married Mary Sutton, daughter of George & Sarah Tilden Sutton, and the young widow of John Gosby.

“Nathaniel Sutton left a bequest in his will to his "cousin" (nephew wasn't a term used then), John Gosby.

“There was a daughter Mary - Mary Sutton and her father, George, were indicted in Huntington, NY 1660.

“George Sutton and John & Mary Gosby sold their land in NY to James Mills in 1663, who later claimed land rights in NC for "...Geo Sutton and his wife, Nathanl Sutton, Joseph Sutton, Mary Gosby, Eliz Sutton..." Nothing claimed for John Gosby because he didn't live to make it to NC.

“The young widow Mary Sutton Gosby married Albert Albertson 20 Dec. 1668 in Perquimans County, NC.

——-

Now, was this John Goseby of Huntington LI the son of John Gosby (I’ve seen his death date as 1654, which makes more sense).

And why is there an earlier Mary Sutton in this tree?

I wasn't allowed to add as a sibling. So, I added John Gosby as a spouse d. before 1668 to Mary Albertson

I hope that works.

Worked great. John Gosby, Jr.

I forgot I had locked the George Sutton family - added Mary to it & added you as a manager.

It’s a difficult family / Migration but I’m impressed with the research efforts cited.

I should also reference the “alternative” genealogy for Mary:

“I did also find records that show the Mary that married Albert Albertson was Mary Gosbey, daughter of John Gosby and Mary Bell. And that Albert was her second marriage - but her first was to Albert Terhune. This suggests she was born a Gosbey and not, in fact, born a Sutton and the window of a Gosbey.”

Looks like “Mary Sutten”, daughter of “Goodman” Sutton, was taken to court in Huntington, Long Island, for “thieving” cloth:

{Court Rec. p. 14, 5.)

Do we need think this John Gosby, Ill was the son of John d bef 1668 and his wife Mary Sutton Gosby?

It appears so. According to p. 14 of Descendants of GEORGE AND SARAH TILDEN SUTTON (10 Jul 2016), prepared by Martha Mewborn Marble (http://olddobbers.net/sutton/sutton_george.pdf):
"3. MARY2 SUTTON (George1) was born circa 1642. She married John Gosby between 1660 and 1663. She married Albert Albertson on 25 Dec 1668. She died by 10 Jan 1720 in Perquimans County, North Carolina.

Without question Mary Gosby – spelled many ways – was a daughter of George and Sarah Tilden Sutton and probably one of their eldest children. The fact that Nathaniel Sutton son of George and Sarah called John Gosby, cousin, would be proof of this in itself. While it would be logical that Nathaniel’s brother, Joseph, would call John Gosby cousin there was no connection between Nathaniel and the Nicholson family that we know at this generational level so it had to be through the Sutton line. Joseph’s wife, Deliverance had a sister, Hannah, who married John Gosby, son of John and Mary.
The Records in Huntington, Long Island are also proof."

And those records continue on on pp. 14-15.

Thanks for all your work and guidance! In looking through this, I think I may have uncovered more Huckstep ancestry!

Thank you so very much for assisting with this Erica! You are the best!!

Thank you for calling attention to this, we now have a clear line on a Quaker Migration path from New England to the south.
