I. Sutton Crutchfield was born circa 1805 in Ky (Based on age in 1850 Census). His first name was Elizar. He married Molly Railsback, daughter of Daniel Railsback and Elizabeth Dossee, on 17 Nov 1825 in Clark Co., Ky. Molly died sometime after the birth of their son Wesley in 1837. He purchased property in Clark Co., Ky, in 1839, 13 acres from Benjamin Oliver, who had moved to Callaway Co., Missouri. He married Jane (--?--) while still in Clark Co., Ky. He sold property in Clark Co., Ky, in 1852, 13 acres to William Tuttle. On 4 Oct 1852 in Clark Co., Ky., Sutton Crutchfield signed over a promisory note from a neighbor to his daughter, Elizabeth Davis. Elizabeth and her husband, William Davis, took note to court to get payment. Sutton purchased property in Callaway Co., Mo, on 1 Aug 1853, patenting 80 acres from the US Government in S20, T47, R7. The patent was recorded 22 May 1872, Book 3, pgs 436 & 437. He died in late Dec 1869 in Callaway Co., Mo. After he died, his 2nd wife was living on her own, but when she died on 8 July 1892, she was apparently living with Thomas Jones: "Died at the residence of Mr. Thos. Jones, near Readsville, on Friday, July 8th, 1892, Mrs. Jane Crutchfield, aged 76. Mrs. Crutchfield was a native of Kentucky." The 21 Jul 1892 edition of the same paper states July 1st and that she was 73 years old. She left property to several of the Jones family members, including Thomas and Bluford, in her will, however she had lost real estate via a Sheriff’s sale several years earlier, so her will was not probated. I have not been able to locate their gravesites, or to determine her maiden name.
A. Lucy A. Crutchfield was born circa 1826. She married Thomas S. Adams on 11 Feb 1846 Clark Co, Ky (The date may have been 23 Feb 1846). She and her husband apparently died before 1860, since in the 1860 Missouri Census, their daughter Martha is living with her Grandfather Sutton Crutchfield and their daughter Mary is living with her Aunt Martha Christopher.

She died after 1900 but before 1910, as she is not in the 1910 Census with her family. Her husband died 24 July 1914: "Uncle William Davis, an old man about 85 years old, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carl Hoopsecker, near Steedman, and was buried near Readsville last week." Missouri Death Certificate #106/5155-21998 gives ages as 'about 90' but no birthdate. The 1900 Missouri Census gives his birth date as Aug 1830.
