P_10433_0436 – John Sutton
‘John Lutton’ is shown as co-owner of a slaving voyage from London by the Elizabeth to West Central Africa and Barbados in 1701. Although Pettigrew also gives John Lutton as an independent slave-trader, it is more likely this was John Sutton, a major Barbados slave-trader, with nine slaving voyages from Barbados between 1699 and 1702 at the same time as the London voyage to Barbados shown for ‘John Lutton’.
