I will be glad to help.First of all, I am very sure that the Sutton surname was a mistake.I have several proofs showing that our Eleanor Hancher/Hinshaw, dau of Nicholas Hancher of Frederick Co, VA was the wife of Brownfield, not Eleanor Sutton.
Elinor/Eleanor was married first to Jeremiah Archer, but he died young and she was left with two young sons, and was pregnant with a third.They were Benjamin, William, and Jeremiah.Robert Brownfield/Brumfeld was the adm of her husband's will.
The Quakers monthly meeting showed that she was then married to Robert who was not a Quaker.
They soon had more children born in the old Frederick Co, VA and later WVA.Records for them are found in PA, WVA, VA and OH.I will have to get the details for you later.
You can email me direct.
