Notes for Susannah S. MATTHEWS
She is not on the 1850 Jackson County, Alabama census.595
1830 or 1831 - In 1830 or 31, Susan’s second husband, Stephen Sutton, abandoned her without reasonable or just cause soon after they married. He had also stopped providing for her maintenance. But only after conversation with her brother, William, did Sutton state that he would never return. It was at this time that John Looney, her brother-in-law, presented the petition on her behalf to have the marriage anulled.
In this petition, it stated that Sutton was then living outside the state of Alabama and that he would relinquish rights to the children and their possessions that were rightfully theirs from inheritance of their father’s estate and their grandfather’s estate (James Matthews, Sr.).639
1846 October through June 1847 - There is a court case in Jackson Co., AL Chancery Court Final Record Book, 1847-1851, pages 159-175. The case started in October 1846 and finished in June of 1847. In this case Susan (Matthews Looney) Sutton petitions the court to disallow her husband, Stephen Dill Sutton, from receiving the interest, in right of his wife's part of the estate of, James Matthews, Sr. and Jr., who were her father and brother and who had both died in 1846.
