Thomas Sutton (c.1638 - 15 November 1710) was the speaker of the House of Assembly of Jamaica in 1691-92 and 1698.
Sutton was born around 1638, the younger son of a Barbadian planter and arrived in the 1660s or 70s.
These Leeward Maroons, as they came to be called, were led by Cudjoe, whose guerrilla resistance eventually forced the governor, Edward Trelawny, to sue for peace and offer them a treaty in 1739.
A colonel in the Militia, he defeated an attack by the French led by Admiral Jean-Baptiste du Casse in 1694 at Carlisle Bay.
