In various census Fillmore MN Sarah says both of her parents were b in Indiana.There is one Sarah b in MN who seems to fit being b the correct time & with parents b IN:
1860 Jordan, Fillmore, MN
Benjamin Sutherland35IN
Laura33 IN
Martha7MN
Millard W5MN
SARAH3MN
Indiana Marriage Collection 1800-1942Benjamin Sutherland married Laura Gibson 16 Aug 1848 Harrison CO., IN
It's possible (just an idea) the parents of Benjamin are Lemuel Sutherland & Susie unknown.....Lemuel is also living in Jordan, Fillmore, in 1860 & in 1857 Fillmore he is 5 households away from Benjamin & his family:
1860Jordan, Fillmore , MN
Lemuel Sutherland58IN
Susie59IN
Matilda20IN
Also, Lemuel was living in Morgan, Harrison CO., IN in 1830.Harrison County is where Benjamin & Laura were married.

Too many James Nortons to figure out where he might have come from.If you haven't already done so, please explore the Genweb for Fillmore CO, MN - there should be data online & people you can contact - ie Town Historians, genealogy societies, etc.
Hope this helps a bit:)Vicky in AZ
