" Nathan Sutliff, who was born near Genoa, New York...

Nathan Sutliff passed his youth in Cayuga county, N. Y., and in early manhood was there married to Loretta Lawrence, a native of Genoa, same State. The young couple resided in the home neighborhood sometime after their marriage, and then came to Huron county, Ohio, where Mr. Sutliff purchased 200 acres of land. At the time of this purchase Bronson township was a wilderness, the only marks then evident of coming civilization being two log cabins in Norwalk, and one which had been erected the previous year on the land now owned by Martin Kellog. With these few neighbors to brighten the lonely wilderness, Nathan Sutliff and his wife set bravely to work and prepared a home for those who followed. He was a Whig in politics, and in religion was one of the first members of the Presbyterian Church in Peru township. Some time after the death of his wife this pioneer was laid to rest at a good old age. They were the parents of eight children: Alice, Samuel, Mary, David, Loretta, John, Nathan and George."

Nathan married Loretta Lawrence. (Loretta Lawrence was buried in Norwalk, OH, Hester Cemetery.)
