Sutter family
My gg grandfather is Jacob Sutter, Sr., born in Germany (but his parents are from Switzerland), 11/12/1817, died 10/1/1864 in Montgomery, AL.He married Adelgunde Himmelspach(or Himmelsbach) in New Orleans, LA.They came to Montgomery and raised 11 children (one of which was my g grandfather, Edward Sutter).
I've been told that Jacob Sutter is somehow related to Capt. John A. Sutter (of goldrush fame), but cannot find the connection.
Anyone know this family or could give me more info on John A. Sutter's parents and siblings, please answer - I'd appreciate any help.Thanks,
Melissa
