Captain John Sutton (b. c.1875) is thought to have been an uncle to the five Clonakilty master mariners and his name appears on family-related shipping papers post-retirement. He is also named as the master in Lloyd’s of a few vessels concurrently, while they were documented by other sources as being captained by other Sutton family members. Captain George Sutton had (future Captain) Nicholas Reynolds, his future son-in-law, here as an apprentice. While Lloyd’s suggests his captaincy of William Brown until 1841, UK M&M indicates his move to Alexandrina Victoria in August 1838. Mate Michael Linehan transferred to Hester as Master in 1842, a vessel previously captained by George Sutton (b.1804, Clonakilty) and William Sutton (b.1814, Clonakilty).
