Suttles of Ben Hill, GA Isaac 1851, Irene 1850 Dan 1840
I grew up near Ben Hill, Georgia and the old family cemetery on Stone Rd. had several Suttles buried there. My great grandfather drew a layout of the cemetery which mentioned Irene Suttles 1850, Isaac Suttles 1851, and Dan Suttles 1840 (his tombstone is at Mt Gilead church though). The story went that the Stones, Fergusons, Lees and Suttles came together to the Atlanta area to participate in the land lottery. They camped on a creek and now you find the Atlanta airport on Camp Creek Parkway which was named after the 4 families initial camp.
Supposedly they stopped in Rome, GA but I have been unable to find the Stones there. The Stones lived in Bladen/Cumberland Co, NC for at least 10 years before going to Georgia and I believe they lived in the Charleston SC area for a long time before that. I would love to hear more about these families as earlier settlers and where they came from!
