a#BOONEBOONEa#BYRDBYRDa#CAISONCAISONm#SUTTONSUTTONm#VANNVANN posted by M. Dianne (Peterson) Schell on Thursday, February 10, 2000

I am looking for information on the following Duplin County families: JOHN RICHARD CAISON; REBEKA ELIZA CAISON; SAMUEL BOONE; JULIUS SYLVESTER SUTTON; WILLIAM FRANKLIN SUTTON (a/k/a BUDDY, BILLY FRANK); JAMES RANSOM SUTTON; WILLIAM MORRIS SUTTON (was in the Civil War); MARGARET VANN and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BYRD. BUDDY was married many times to many different women. Grandma said she knew of 13. Apparently he didn't bother to divorce one before taking up with another. I have a marriage license from Indiana for one. We don't know whether or not he had children. BUDDY was in WWI. He didn't pass the physical and wasn't accepted into the Army. On the day that the men were to board the train in Magnolia the entire town turned out. BUDDY mingled with the men, got on the train and ended up in France and in the Army. By the time he was discovered, he was allowed to stay. He served in France, Hawaii, Mafra, Texas, etc. I have some of his papers and his dogtag. We believe that while in the Army he was exposed to mustard gas because his physical and mental health deteriorated, and his behavior became erratic, etc. He was moody and always up to his neck in trouble and/or mischief or causing trouble. There are other stories about him, e-mail me if interested. BUDDY took an overdose of some kind of medication and died at the family home in Turkey. Not much is known about BUDDY's brother, JAMES RANSOM SUTTON. James died while cleaning a gun on the back porch of the old homeplace in Magnolia. The old homeplace was recently restored. It originally belonged to the KORNEGAY family. JULIUS SYLVESTER SUTTON used to do work for the family. An arrangement had been made for Julius to move his family into the house to care for the place and for Mrs. KORNEGAY upon the death of Mr. KORNEGAY. A fire took place in the home and it has been said that either a son or a boarder in the home set the fire. Apparently no one was hurt. When Mrs. KORNEGAY died the place was inherited by my grandparents JULIUS S. SUTTON and MARTHA OZELLA (BYRD) SUTTON. The house is located on Academy St. in Magnolia and is still in the family. I would like to share/exchange info (what I have) with anyone who might be interested. Please e-mail me at: s1613@aol.com
