SUTILERLAND.
In 1774 Joseph Sutherland bought from Gamaliel Bailey
nearly three hundred acres a short distance east of the Miller
School. This place he sold three years after to Thomas
Harlow, and purchased in the South Garden, near the gorge
of the south fork of Hardware. He died in 1801. His first
wife's name was Judith, and he married again Elizabeth,
daughter of William Grayson. His children were Joseph,
and Susan, the wife of Christopher Myers. Joseph married
Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Garland, and in 1817 bought
from him part of the old James Garland place about
two miles southwest of the Cross Roads, which in those days
went by the name of the Head of the Creek Plantation. He
died in 1818, leaving four sons, Clifton G., Joseph, William
and Edward. Clifton married Mary Ammonett, lived at the
Cross Roads, had a large family, and died in 1868. Joseph
in 1837 purchased from Dr. John W. Gantt the place adjoining
the Cross Roads on the southwest, where he lived until
his death in 1866. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of
Richard G. Anderson. William married Lucy, daughter of
Roland H. Bates, and lived on the Head of the Creek Plantation,
where he recently departed this life. Edward lived on the
Batesville Road, west of the Cross Roads. He married Ann
Shepherd, who after his death became the wife of John P.
Mann.
