I'm confused. I'm not sure what you are saying or asking.

I'm so sorry; I was trying to be brief.

The family info I have on Mary Chenoweth (wife of Abraham Sutton) lists William Chenoweth, the 4th son/6th child of John Chenoweth & Mary Calvert, as her father. William was born ~1718 in PA or NJ before the family moved to VA. According to the marriage year for John Chenoweth & Mary Calvert (~1702), they would have been around 60 when the younger Mary was born.
William, son of John Chenoweth & Mary Calvert, had a daughter Mary b. March 22, 1743/4, in Frederick Co., VA. Although she was the oldest of his children with wife Ann Polk, she was not listed first in his will; it is believed that he merely listed his sons first and then his daughters.

Can anyone confirm this?

I couldn't tell you, but you are already probably aware of this site:
http://www.chenowethsite.com/ch0oth.htm

It's a very detailed Chenoweth website and talks in detail of the Chenoweths and the alleged Mary Calvert.

http://www.chenowethsite.com/ch1jw0.htm does not mention SUTTON.

It says his daughter Mary was not known to have married:

WILLIAM(3) 1732-1772

First born son and grandson, William founded the oldest and largest known line of the third generation, but he died at the early age of 40, within a year of his father, John.

Though twice married, William mentions only three sons (John, Jonathan, and William - who ranged in age from 17 to 12 at the time of his death - all three would fight in the Revolutionary War) and a daughter in his will.

This daughter, Mary, is not known to have married.
By the will she was instructed to care for her widowed grandmother, Mary Smith Chenoweth.
Some think there were two additional children: Samuel and Jane, by William's second wife Jane; others dispute their existence, since they are not mentioned in his will.

Looks pretty solid!

Apparently the research picks up where the other left off.
The Suttons and Chenoweths were neighbors
