"Harris was a prosperous ship-wright with yards on the Ipswich river, built on land bought from Daniel Appleton in 1757 and from Richard Sutton in 1758. The lane leading to the yards was for many years known as Ship Yard Lane. He had bought land from Joseph Smith in 1743 and built the house later known as the Sutton house and still standing."
[Essex Deeds, 85 : 135]........
"Richard Sutton owned a house that has a good deal of historical interest. It yet stands and is owned by Daniel Hodgkins.
The land on which it stands was granted in 1634, to John Fawn, gent. Mr. Fawn sold it to Thomas Firman, who built the house, and sold it to the Rev. John Norton, in 1638. Mr. Norton removed to Boston in 1653, and the house was occupied by his successor, Rev. Thomas Cobbett. Rev. Mr. Norton gave the house at his death to Mr. Cobbett. After the Rev. Mr. Cobbett's death, (1685), John, his son, (in 1696), sold it to Francis Wainwright.
It was used as an inn in later years. Its ancient front door is yet preserved by Mr. Hodgkins, and is a curious relie of early days. The house has a brick interlining, and is yet in its youth, though it has stood through the history of the town. At one time Richard Sutton and Abraham Caldwell owned the house together.
"Richard Sutton was in French War, under Gen. Braddock. He was at the taking of Quebee in 1759. In 1776, he volunteered as an officer under Col. Pickering, and 1777, he returned to Ipswich, where he lived a long life much respected."

Richard married 1 (1) Elizabeth Foster daughter of Nathaniel Foster , blacksmith and Elizabeth Leatherland on 18 Oct 1758 in Ipswich, Massachusetts, USA.

She was buried in the Old High Street Burying Ground, Ipswich, Massachusetts, USA.
Elizabeth (Foster) was a notable housekeeper. So ready and brisk with her hands, as tradition has it, that she earned, by making lace, a silk dress for each of her daughters. And a still pleasanter tradition is, that her husband was so interested in observing her ready fingers on a quilt at a quilting bee, that he selected her at once as his companion for life.
