John Sutton of Carmarthen,who was the father of the three Sutton brothers who came to Port Talbot was a part owner of the ship "Fame " of Carmarthen in 1826 and his son Charles Sutton sailed on her.
Thomas Sutton of Margam married Catherine Edward also of Margam,at Margam Abbey Church 7.March.1819.
A copy of the register entry could be got free from West Glam Archives Swansea.
Thomas and Catherine first lived, after their marriage at Duffryn Uchaf, with a Thomas family who had inheritated the farm from Lewis and Catherine Edward Catherine Edward`s parents.
It was here that their first born son Thomas Sutton Jnr. was born in 1820,but by 1822 they had move the short distance down to the village of Taibach where a further nine children were born.
Thomas Thomas a son from Duffryn Uchaf farm, where Thomas Sutton had been a lodger in 1820, had became the post master at the Taibach Office.
And so it is no suprise to find that Thomas Sutton became the Innkeeper at the next door Somersetshire Inn,as we see in the below -
