Thomas Denton ante 1763 - post 1797
Thomas Denton , From: East Indiamen "1786. On 22 June of the same year, Mrs. Creighton and Miss Tranter beg leave to acquaint the ladies of the settlement that they have purchased the whole of the millinery and haberdashery contained in the investment of Mr. Thomas Denton, chief officer of the Phoenix (Captain James Rattray), which sailed from the Downs on 16 January 1786, and reached her moorings in the river Hooghly on 30 May. 'The Millinery chiefly consists of most superb suits of dresses of the latest fashion, a variety of the most fashion¬ able dress and undress caps, hats, turbans, etc.: and the whole has been put up by Madame Beauvois.' As this enterprising chief officer married Miss Mercy Evans at St. John's Church a few months later — on 22 October 1786 — we may suppose that the match was made on board ship, and indulge in the hope that some at least of the millinery was reserved for the bride."
