In Reply to: Thomas Alcorn (b. abt. 1830? western PA) by Rick Alcorn of 1166

My gg-grandmother, Esther Alcorn, was born in Pa about 1833. Because of the name and year of birth match, I believe that she is the daughter of John Alcorn and his wife Elizabeth.

Esther Alcorn married Adam C. Sutton about 1860 and had at least seven children, including my g-grandfather, Sherman Edward Sutton, born February 14, 1870. Here's the data I have on this line:

NB. Ancestry.com census does not have Wayne Township; it has "unknown townships" with over 300 images, not indexed. Therefore I've been unable to verify this transcription.

I would deeply appreciate any information that you have on Esther and her family.
