Sutter-Hepp in New Orleans, early 1800's

JStrick884 — 2009-10-24 19:33:38Z

Looking for SUTTER Family in abt 1830 in New Orleans, Willis married my ancestor, Isabella HEPP in 1850. Think his mother's name was Leona/Serena and two brothers I found on the 1850 LA census were Samuel and Johann (John)
Only child of Willis and Isabella who lived to be an adult was Olivia Jane SUTTER who married a John Martin HAINKEL IN 1876.

SUTTER Howard F and Trellah E

I photographed this gravestone in the Mount Olivet Cemetery, Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., Texas. Feel free to use this picture for your personal records. This is one of the 206,332 cemetery photos free at http://teafor2.com

If you know more about this person please reply here instead of contacting me because this is most likely not my family.

Re: I am a Sutter

MichaelFidanza59 — 2009-04-02 00:08:18Z

Hi Michele,

My maternal grandfather is a Sutter and I have 'scroll 3 of 3' which goes back to Jakob who died in 1654. I too have been told by my grandfather before he died, that there is info back to 1200 AD as well. He said the monks in our hometown of Appenzell, Switzerland kept excellent records. It would be interesting where we may meet up in our respective trees. I have only been on Ancestry.com for 3 days and have 250 in my tree already...it's addicting!

Kind regards,
Michael Fidanza

THielke, Sutter & Miller

My name is Adam Sutter. I live in Chicago. Apparently I am a relative of yours. My Grandfather told me when I was younger that John Augustus Sutter was his great, great, great grandfather. Obviously this replie to your query is coming very late but I would like to know more about the Sutter family name and any relatives I may have out there.

Re: Sutter, Katharina

DebeeMB — 2008-12-01 14:17:36Z

I am interested in information you have on Jakob Mancz/Manz
My Great Great Grandfather's name was Jakob and my Great grandfather was Jacob b 14 May 1892 in Orborac(sp) Hungary and d. 21 Dec 1974 in West Milton, Ohio. He came to the U.S. thru Canada and lived in Detroit Michigan for several years before coming to Ohio. He had a brother Stephan and a sister I believe her name was Magdalena. I'm not sure because I have no one to ask.
Thanks for any help.

Re: John Augustus Sutter Family Reunion California 7/2005

postjohn11 — 2008-11-14 16:49:44Z

My grandmother was Ella Sutter, born, raised and died in Switzerland. She was the daughter of the company 'A.Sutter' out of Oberhofen-Münchwilen in Switzerland. Her father started the company, which was then run by her brother Alfred. She had a sister named Doris also. The factory was then sold to Unilever in the 1960 time frame. They made shoe polish, floor polishes, waxes, machinery, etc. My grandmother told me she went to San Francisco once (probably 1950's) and recieved a token gold key to the city, as a relative of John Augustus. I would be interested in seeing any genealogy that ties this all together! Thanks

Daryl_Hiller — 2008-07-14 03:19:55Z

Like many others, I am contacting you because I have been told my Rudin family is related to John Augustus Sutter.

The Rudins are from Arboldswil Switzerland. Most of the children of Heinrich Rudin and Eva Reimann (children were born between 1866 and 1891) seemed to have lived in the Stuttgart Germany area before emigrating. They first settled in Chicago and some moved to Seattle.

Supposedly, there was a family farm somewhere but no descendants no where it is.

Re: John Augustus Sutter Family Reunion California 7/2005

highdhi — 2008-07-12 15:08:43Z

Hello,

I stumbled on this webpage and thought I'd introduce myself. I grew up with my dad telling me Captain John Sutter was the great uncle of his dad, Bernard Albert Sutter, born in Cleveland. I saw my grandfather's death certificate several years ago and noticed that his father was of Swiss descent and his mother French (as I recall). My grandfather worked as an architect--his job took him to the Chicago area, where my family is from.

Any information you have to share would be greatly appreciated.

Are any of these related to the Sutters in Milford, Summerset Pennsylvania area just prior to and during that time. Daniel (1897), George (1820) John, Henry

George Sutter

PattyBurrell — 2007-10-01 14:52:54Z

My ancestor is George Sutter born in (1820)Sommerset, Pennsylvania we think. We have proof that he married Catherine/Chatherine Weimer (1817-born in Milford, Sommerset, Pennsylvania)on 25 Mar 1866. I need to know if anyone has proof or information leading to the fact that Georges father is Daniel Sutter married to Eve Sheets or of some other parentage. If we have the correct information they are of German decent and not related to John or anyone famous. George and Catherine had 8 or 9 Children. Margaret Sutter (1844)born in Milford, Sommerset, Pennsylvania was their daughter. She married Wallace Elija Rinker (1846)Pinerock, Ogle Illinois. He died young when trying to save a family in a flood. Someone in Colorado has information of the Weimers that may have some information of our ancestors. If you can help here I would be excited to here from you.

My mother, Ruth, is still living, but recently had a stroke and isn't in the best of health. My brother has stage four colon cancer. As you see our family isn't in the best of health - Any pictures of dad or Uncle Dick would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I will throw out some names and you can ask if they sound important. I do this to save a little time... Maria Buttner or Buettner, Jacob 1822, and Mag 1828, Ursala Anselm John and Catherine died 3-13-1897, then the rest i know from listening to my Grandmother talk, and is more 1900 and on.......

Re: I am a Sutter

TameeMacKay — 2007-09-25 04:20:59Z

Hi There!

I am not sure if there is a connection or not. I think that everyone would like to be related to someone famous or historical. I am sure my grandfather believed we were related to John Sutter, but I have a feeling that we aren't. My husband and I are huge hockey fans and it would be really cool to be related to the NHL Sutter's, haha!

I started this thread and I feel bad that I haven't posted in quite sometime, I appreciate everyone's input :-) Unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot of information. I did put together a tree from what I know and from some of the information that I found here. Are others able to see your tree? I would be happy to share.

Re: I am a Sutter

Hi Michelle,
I am guessing you already have a copy of the book that describes the Sutters of Viking. If not I can send you the copies of the pages I scanned. That is where I got enough information to discount the connection to the hockey Sutters.
My email is cljgilbert@telus.net

Re: I am a Sutter

Christol_G — 2007-08-09 03:11:43Z

I am descended from German come Canadian Sutters. We were also told that we were connected to John Sutter of Gold Rush Fame but no connection found here either. I think it was wishful thinking to be related to someone famous. We were also told we were related to the Sutters of NHL hockey fame which also didn't bear out. If you wish to share some of the information you have we may be able to help you figure out some connection or maybe just find other Sutter relations.

Re: I am a Sutter

I do not have any Clark Sutter in my database. Where are your ancestors from. You can check out mine at my website http://www.angelfire.com/folk/james_gen/sutterancestry.html
It has not been updated for quite awhile but I don't thik there is too much that's new. Let me know if you see a connection there.
