George Suttor

George Suttor (11 June 1774 – 5 May 1858) was an Anglo-Scottish farmer and pioneer settler of Australia,[1] who is notable as the founder of a significant Australian family, and also as a supporter of Captain Bligh following the 1808 Rebellion at Sydney, New South Wales.

In a few years time he was sending oranges and lemons to Sydney, obtaining good prices for them, and had become a successful settler.

[1] When Colonel Paterson arrived, Suttor's was the first signature to an address presented to him promising to give him every information and support in our power in order that full satisfaction and justice may be given to the governor (whom we highly revere) .

[2]Suttor was, however, arrested and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months for failing to attend Lieutenant-Governor Joseph Foveaux's general muster and for impugning his authority.

[1][2] Suttor published a volume on The Culture of the Grape-Vine and the Orange in Australia and New Zealand (1843), and the Memoirs Historical and Scientific of the Right Honourable Sir Joseph Banks (1855, reprinted 1948).

Suttor married Miss Sarah Maria Dobinson (his childhood sweetheart) in 1798 and founded a distinguished Australian family.
