- Sir Richard Sutton, 1st Baronet
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 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, which he represented until 1796.
He married __; their eldest son was
# John Sutton, who married Sophia Frances Chaplin, daughter of Charles Chaplin, esq. (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.
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 [The 2nd Baron was nephew of Henry Sutton; his daughter the Duchess of Rutland was great-niece of Henry Sutton, and his grandson the Marquess of Granby (1721-1770) was thus a third cousin of Sir Richard Sutton, 1st Baronet).] 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.
