I believe there is a mix up here between Evelyn Sutton and Samuel Sutton. On Evelyn Sutton's bio, it says that he was Captain of Amazon from April 3, 1801 to 1802 whereas it was actually Samuel Sutton who was Captain of Amazon during that time. Evelyn Sutton was inactive after 1794.

HI - wonder if you ever found a photo? Just been researching his son Maj. Gen William Sutton (British Army) for a military grave restoration project. Phil Sutton please make contact if you see this message. Thanks.

Hi, I'm seeking a picture of Samuel Sutton, I've tried numerous blogs over the years and have yet to find one - I've even tried the Admiralty with no joy - Samuel Sutton is a distant cousin of mine and I'm trying to complete our family tree - any assistance would be appreciated.

Captain Samuel Sutton took command of Amazon from Yelland after the death of Riou
