Possible wrong data

Question

So I have a Liberty Speed Sutton in my line Sutton-15927 is the page for him. Now, the problem is I am only showing a marriage match on wikitree, but ran against a few of the matches listed under James Liberty Sutton's page, I am showing 4.4 and 4.5 mcra matches in gedcom, while not matching with others at all. I believe there maybe an error in the pages data and that either someone has the wrong information linking them to the page and that Liberty and James are indeed the same people or at the very least closely related. For me Liberty Speed Sutton is listed for me as 3rd Great grandparent, so take that into account, could Liberty be the son of James even?

Answer 1

James Liberty Sutton (Sutton-15345) is my 2nd great-granduncle, son of my 3rd great-grandfather, Rev. James A. Sutton (Sutton-13018). Your Liberty Speed Sutton is older than my 3rd great-grandfather so I am not sure why you would think that James Liberty (his son) would be the same person as your Liberty Speed. Being that your person is a Sutton, I am sure there is a very real possibility that he is related (maybe their fathers are brothers?), but I do not think my information is incorrect. My 3rd great-grandfather was the first pastor of Youngs Creek Baptist Church and his direct line is pretty well documented. I have a patriot through his wife's line as well. I do not have a lot on his siblings (or anything on the siblings of his father) but the only older siblings I have found for him are female.

I don't have all the profiles created on WikiTree yet, as I have been wrapping up my last few classes for college, but I have been slowly migrating them over. The first six DNA matches you see under James Liberty Sutton are my close family, including my uncle.

Sorry for this being such an extremely late reply, but this is mine and Ricky's matching:

Largest segment = 20.9 cMTotal Half-Match segments (HIR) 30.1cM (0.838 Pct) Estimated number of generations to MRCA = 4.42 shared segments found for this comparison.145937 SNPs used for this comparison 52.23 Percent of SNPs are full identical

and this is ours:

Largest segment = 6.4 cM Total Half-Match segments (HIR) 127cM (3.54 Pct) 32 shared segments found for this comparison. 483648 SNPs used for this comparison. 69.67 Percent of SNPs are full identical.

My great grandmother Laura Sutton married James Archibald Brittain. Laura's mother from what little info I can locate was born out of wedlock supposedly to Robert Pemberton and Margaret Sutton, but it list WM Clark on Laura's death certificate  and MN Sutton. She was raised in Mary Sears home from what the marriage certificate stated and what notes that were left on ancestry her mother died when she was 9 years old. Laura is buried over in Perkins Cemetery in Woodbine, Ky.
