SUITE and SHUTE --are we related??
SUITE, SUIT, SUTE, & SHUTE in Halifax Co. NC later 1700's
I am posting her to try to determine if Jesse SHUTE who is listed as residing in Halifax Co. NCX in the mid 1700's is by chance related to Richard SUITE/SUIT (spelling variations) who witnessed the will of Joseph EDWARDS of St. Mary's Co. MD who migrated to Halifax Co NC. The will is 1783 & proved ca. 1794 approx. I know that Richard is DEFINITELY part of the St. Mary's Co. SUITE and SUIT family as he witnessed that will and Sarah Suite of St.Mary's married an earlier JosephEdwards. Sarah was d/o of Thomas SUIT/SUITE and her children are in his 1765 will there, but she was apparently deceased by then.
WE have a Jesse BURCH SUITE or SUITwho was also in St.Mary's during the Rev. War and married to a Sarah GIEST but apparently divorced her shortly afterward.Is he the Jesse "Shute" in Halifax NC.Several families apparently migrated to Halifax Co. NC after the Rev. including MORAN/MORRAN, and LOCKE/LOCK along with EDWARDS and SUIT.
Jesse Burch SUIT may be the same man who married FOWLER in the 1800's, but he would've been pretty old then.
I have noted that some of the SUTE/SUITE/SUIT in MD may be related to SHUTE in Phila/NJ from William "SUTE" who got land with William Penn.The ones in PA seemed to be Quakers in some instances.
I also noted a Thomas SHUTE who had a daughter named Christian in the latest 1600's/earliest 1700's. His wife was listed as "Mary".
In St. Mary's MD's SUIT/SUITE/SUTE family, there is a Thomas SUIT who married Christian DENT and we do not know when she died. I wondered if there was not some connection between these families.
Another reason I believe this, is that men named Richard TRUE and Richard TRUE, Jr. also got land with William Penn and a Richard TRUE was living in St. Mary's as was a William SUTE/SUITE.Do they connect in some way that has been forgotten over the years?
A man named John SUIT of St. Mary's died in 1808 in Philadelphia with smallpox.And my ancestor Norris Marshall Jones SUITE may have been named after Norris JOnes who was decended from the Marshall family and was a Quaker in Philadelphia who was apparently jailed for refusing to fight in the Rev.
Does anyone know of a specific connection between both families and spelling variations?The early governor of MA was SHUTE but listed as SUTE and SUITTE in records. Is there some pronunciation that makes them sound alike?Finally, I believe Anna BANNER SHUTE is Anna Banner SUITE, wife of James SUITE of St. Mary's Co. MD. Her father, Peter Banner, died in Barnwell, SC ca. 1800.
Also we have a bunch of Philip Caroll Suit and Philip Charles Suit/Suite folks in our family.In the SHUTE line,man namedPhilip SUTE who seems to be SHUTE had a fort in Ohio area before settlers were permitted to be there. Does anyone know more about his history?I kept trying to find out about him as he is listed as SUTE in records.Then I found him as SHUTE. Same with them man who got the land with Penn.
Do we connect?
Thanks.
