John Sinton, JP, (1 November 1835 in Tamnaghmore House, Co. Armagh – 13 September 1890 in Ravernet, Co. Down), was an Ulster Scot industrialist, philanthropist and a Quaker. He was the seventh child of nine born to David Sinton (1792–1860) and Sarah Green (1795–1856). Belonging to a large and well-known family descended from the Ulster-Scots Benjamin Cynton (1640–?), John Sinton purchased a linen mill at Ravarnet (sometimes spelled Ravernet or Ravarnette), Co. Down, close to Lisburn, Co. Down in 1873, and established another one at nearby Drumnavaddy. He was the younger brother of Thomas Sinton (1826–1887), linen manufacturer and Quaker philanthropist, who created the new village at Laurelvale, Co. Armagh, in the 1850s, and cousin of industrialist David Sinton of Cincinnati, once one of the richest men in America.
