Thomas Baynton

Thomas Baynton (5 October 1761 - 31 August 1820) was an English medical writer and surgeon.[1]

Baynton was from Bristol, where he served his apprenticeship with Mr. Smith, a physician of considerable eminence. He afterwards acquired a large practice of his own, and obtained a high reputation by discoveries in the curative part of his profession, especially in the treatment of ulcers and wounds.

He published Descriptive Account of a New Method of treating Ulcers of the Leg (1797, dedicated to Anthony Fothergill), and An Account of a Successful Method of treating Diseases of the Spine (1813, dedicated to Edward Jenner).

He died at Clifton on 31 August 1820.

This link to BARBARA BAYNTON is not correct. Dr. Thomas Baynton of BRISTOL is not the Dr. Thomas Baynton who married Barbara Frater née Lawrence. The Dr. Thomas Baynton who married Barbara was born in 1819 in Radstock, Somerset, the s/o of Dr. Thomas Baynton snr. (1792-1872) and Eliza Arabella Smith (1795-1835), and died at "The Magormadine", Charlotte Street, Ashfield, New South Wales, Australia, in 1904.
