Children include Joseph

Joseph Sutliffe was baptised at Durham in Connecticut on 27 July 1712 by the Rev. Nathaniel Chauncey. He is the second son of that name his parents had; the first was born in 1710 and died before his first birthday.

From Durham he went to Wallingford, where two of his children, Sarah and Nathaniel, were born, and the Wallingford records carry them. He was at Wolcott as early as 1765, his house probably at the foot of Chestnut Hill on the old road going directly up it. The history of the town records his trade and his body in one line: he was a tailor, one leg being defective, so that he walked with a crutch or cane.

His first wife Sarah, whose surname the record does not give, died on 10 July 1780 after about fifty years of marriage. He married Catherine Seward, a sister of Amos Seward, who died on 11 November 1791. He died on 11 November 1801, the same day of the year, ten years later, and both he and Catherine are buried at Wolcott.
