Captain Richard Clutton

Richard Clutton (died 1643)
Nephew by marriage of the annalist Thomas Malbon, father of the Nantwich-based Captains Thomas and George Malbon.
Clutton was a captain in Cheshire, buried at Nantwich on 6 Sept. 1643. He was probably the Mr Clutton, ‘an active Gentleman’ who defied the commissioners of array when they entered Nantwich on 24 Sept. 1642: he ‘disarmed the under-sheriff’s man, who came from the Cavaliers, …would not hear talk of any parley, but gave express command to the townsmen of his own company to give fire as soon as the Cavaliers shall come within shot, and not to admit of any parley; but other gentlemen persuaded the contrary, lest it should be fired, whereupon they came to parley’ (Cheshire tracts, 238).
