[Sutton]--his wife, knew Jacob's 3rd wife--Polly [Edelmann], but listed the mother as "unknown." Jacob and Polly [Edelmann] were married Nov. 26, 1839. Thus, James J. McQuillin was not the son of Polly [Edelmann], but of Elizabeth [Cripliver]. Throughout his life he believed himself to be 3 years younger than he actually was.
