Research
Bonnie Treon indicates “He NEVER married Rebecca Harrison -- wrong Mr. Suit!”18827
James Suite/Suit cannot be the guy who married Rebecca Harrison as he was only 14 years old when Barbara Burroughs wrote her will 11 Aug 1779. I am sure that Rebecca Harrison married the Father of my James Suite/Suit, Benjamin Suit.

James......I have him as the son of Oliver Burch Suit. who fathered Nathaniel 3, William, Samuel, James and Fielder. But have I gaps because of the move to NC.9890 (Oliver Burch Suit his father? Oliver Burch Suit b: 1773; if his son is James he would be born about 1791; his grandson Samuel couldn’t be born 1794?)

I am now convinced that James Suite was s/o William Suite and wife, Susannah Wood, d/o Samuel Wood and Anne Briscoe (widow of John Davis.)
I think he was probably born in the 1750's and died 1813 leaving a will in St. Mary's Co MD. I think he married Anna Banner, d/o Peter Banner and Elizabeth or Mary Elizabeth Wood, also d/o Samuel Wood and Anne Briscoe--thus, James apparently married his first cousin, Anna Banner.
In Peter Banner's will of 1799 in Barnwell, SC, he mentions daughters Elizabeth Coleman (she was wife of James Coleman of Craven Co NC>Barnwell SC), Lydia Broaday or Broadway (who I think is mom of Elkanah B. Broadey);and Anna "Shute" who I believe to be Anna Suite, wife of James Suite of St. Mary's MD.
Anna and James would've been first cousins due to his mother, Susannah Wood Suite was sister of Elizabeth Wood Banner, and again--both were daughters of Samuel Wood and Anne Briscoe.
I am not sure if Sarah and Jane were his(James) daughters, but it is possible due to his will.

(Bonnie Treon) am sure that Rebecca Harrison married the Father of my James Suite/Suit, Benjamin Suit.18827 (Father Benjamin or William?)

James Suite/Suit was son of Benjamin Suite & unknown mother. He was son of Benjamin Suit as Benjamin Banner, bro-in-law of James Suit, lived next door to Benjamin suite in 1800 federal census18789 (Father William or Benjamin?)
