Thomas [sic] Newton was shown as a co-owner with 12 others (including Thomas Gordon and William Johnston) of a slaving voyage from London by the Duchess of Portland to Cape Coast Castle and Lucea/St Lucea in 1793. Thomas Gordon (q.v.) and William Johnston (q.v.) have been inferred to have been partners in Newton, Gordon and Johnston, Madeira wine merchants.
