Shadrack was appointed Sheriff of Hamilton Co., in January 1828.

Shadrack married Susannah WHITEHURST, daughter of Simon WHITEHURST and Mary Ann Elizabeth SCOTT, on 1818. Susannah was born 17 Oct 1786 in , Beaufort Co., North Carolina. She died after 1850.

Notes by William F. Russell

Many of the Wall and Sutton descendants are living in Florida and some of the Suttons have married back into the Whitehurst family.

The U. S. Census, Benton (Now Hernando) County, Florida records that she was living in Melendez Settlement at the time of the enumeration December 3, 1950. All her children had evidently married and established homes of their own at that time. Both she and her second husband, Shaddrack Sutton were listed "age 64, place of birth, North Carolina".
His occupation was stated as "Farmer".

Living with them at this time were Daniel Hayes, age 17, born Georgia, James A Laing, age 9, born Alabama, Jincy Whitehurst, age 9, born Florida, Joseph B. Whitehurst, age 1, born Florida.

It seems that she was the grandmother or Great Aunt of these children but I have been unable to identify any of them.

Notes by Gail Whitehurst Hughes

Susannah Whitehurst (Aunt Sukey) was born in 1786 in Beauford County, North Carolina. She married the first tiem to Perry Wall and in 1818 she married Shaddrack Sutton who was born in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1786. In the U. S. Census Benton (Hernando) County, florida records that she was living in "Melindez Settlement" at the time of enumeration of December 3, 1850 and all her children had evidently married. Living with her and Shaddrach Sutton were: Daniel Hayes, 17 born in Georgia, James A. Laing, 9 born in Alabama, Jency Whitehurst, 9 born in Florida, Joseph B. Whitehurst, 1 born in Florida. It seems she was the grandmother or great aunt of these children.
