An Ancestral Chart and Handbook - Sutton and Rittenhouse Families by Olive
Barrick Rowland, published in 1935 shows, on page 8, that Henry Rounsaville, who
was witness to the marriage of John Sutton and Dinah Bonham on Dec. 8, 1773, was
buried in the Jonas Sutton graveyard. That graveyard is described on pp. 5 - 6
of the same work as located on the Jonas Sutton farm at Sandbrook. "At the
summit of the rising ground on this farm is the Jonas Sutton family burial
ground, long since abandoned; a small square enclosure fenced round with a
rough stone wall. Here and there through a tangle of woodbine, briars and fallen
saplings one catches the gleam of white marble or one stumbles along amid sunken
graves and finds the earlier and less visible markers of red sandstone."
This book is long out of print, but the Hunterdon County Historical Society
had a copy the last time I checked. Hope this helps. Rob Kugler
