Who was Father of Cornelius Sutton Sr??(Who was Mother of Cornelius Sutton Sr.? maiden name could have been, Jane Clawson (according to DAVIS book, page 707, this name Clawson is a corruption of the Dutch name Claessen, that was actually the original earlier name of Claes or Nicholas Corniliszen, who was born in Holland 1597 and probably came to New Amsterdam, New York, on March 4, 1637 with his son Peter Corniliszen.)
