Sir Richard Sutton, 1st Baronet
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Sir Richard Sutton, 1st Baronet (31 July 1733 – 10 January 1802, died aged 68), of Norwood Park in Nottinghamshire was an English Member of Parliament.
He was the son of Sir Robert Sutton and Judith Tichborne.[1] He entered Parliament in 1768 as member for St. Albans which he represented until 1780. In September 1780, he was simultaneously elected to Aldborough and to Sandwich. He chose to represent the latter until 1784, thus necessitating a by-election for the former constituency. In 1784, he became a representative for Boroughbridge with the Irish peer Viscount Palmerston, and represented it until 1796.
He married three times: 1st to Susan Crespigny, 2nd to Anne Williams, daughter of William Peere Williams esq., and 3rd to Margaret Porter. He and his second wife, Anne, had at least seven children:[2] their eldest son was
- John Sutton, who married Sophia Frances Chaplin, daughter of Charles Chaplin, esq., of Tathwell, Lincolnshire. (She later married Thomas Wright, esq., of Bramcote, Notts). He died in the lifetime of his father, leaving a son
- Sir Richard Sutton, 2nd Baronet (16 December 1798 – 14 November 1855) who succeeded his grandfather to the baronetcy, aged 4.[1]
The baronetcy was granted on 14 October 1772, after Sutton had retired from the office of Under Secretary of State. He was a great-grandson of Henry Sutton, younger brother of Robert Sutton, 1st Lord Lexington (which peerage became extinct in 1723). The Sutton baronets were thus distantly related[3] to the dukes of Rutland, who were descended from the marriage of the 3rd duke to the Hon. Bridget Sutton, heiress of Robert Sutton, 2nd Baron Lexinton.
