About 1668, after Plymouth Colony enacted penal laws against the Quakers, George Sutton immigrated to North Carolina with most of his family to escape religious persecution. He died in what is now Perquimans Co, NC within a year of leaving Massachusetts.

His house was near John Daman's at the SW end of Greenfield Lane where it unites with the Driftway. He and his family were Church of England until sometime after 1650 when he and his family pursued the Quaker Faith. In 1668 he emigrated to Perquimans, NC because of Quaker persecution in Massachusetts. All of his family went except Daniel who went to Burlington, West Jersey and William, who went to Eastham, MA and then Piscataway, Middlesex, NJ
