DAY.
The Days of Sutton descend from Ralph Day of Dedham, who was admitted a freeman in 1645. He married Susan Fairbanks October 12, 1647. Among his children was John, born April 15, 1654 ; married Abigail Pond, May 22, 1678, and soon after removed to Wrentham. The eldest son of John and Abigail, John, jr., was born at Dedham, October 11, 1679 ; married Ruth Puffer, December 12, 1706, and resided at Wrentham. They had eight children, among whom were John, born March 1, 1709, and Daniel, born October 7, 1721, both of whom came to Sutton. John of Wrentham, father of the above, was the owner of land in Sutton, as appears from deeds recorded in Worcester. In 1738 he deeds land in Sutton to Stephen Hall, and in 1742 to John Day of Sutton. This is probably about the time his sons, John and Daniel, came to town.

The name of Samuel Dudley appears first upon the records, May 31, 1726, as the purchaser of land from the proprietors, and frequently after that date as a purchaser of land. He also bought of individual owners, and in 1740 was one of the largest land owners in town. He was a justice of the peace, and evidently a man of prominence and influence. His age, one hundred and nine years at his death, is greater than has been attained by any resident of Sutton.
