Notes:

The following notes come from the web pages of Dave Carlsen at http://freepages.genealogy.roo tsweb.com/~rhutch/, predominantly from the book "The Descendants of Richard Hutchinson". Thank you Dave for making this available on-line.

Richard Hutchinson was born in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, England in 1602. His date of his birth is ascertained from a deposition on file in the office of the Essex County Court, Salem, Mass., where in a case of Cromwell vs. Ruck, 1660, he states his age as being 58 years. He married his wife Alice Bosworth on 7 Dec 1627, in Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire. His first four children, Alice, Elizabeth, Mary and Rebecca, were born in England, all except Rebecca in Nottinghamshire.

He emigrated to America in 1634, with his wife Alice, and four children, and settled in Salem Village, now Danvers, in the vicinity of Whipple and Hathorne's hill. There is some evidence, however, gleaned from the town records of Salem, that he may have primarily settled in the town proper, from the fact that in July 25, 1689, one Philemon Dickerson was granted four poles of land "neere Richard Hutchinson's house, to make tan pitts and to dress goates skinnes and hieds." As tanning was not known to have been carried on in Salem Village at so early a period, much time has been spent in discovering this locality, but without avail; as after this, his name seems to have disappeared from the records of Salem.

He and his wife were members of the First Church, Salem, as early as 1636, on whose records he is first mentioned in connection with the baptism of his daughter Abigail.

The first official notice made of him is in the town records, when it is stated that in recognition of his public spirit, as being the possessor and introducer of the first plow brought into this country, he was granted one hundred and forty acres of land by the town authorities.

In 1636, Mr. Hutchinson received a grant of 60 acres of land from the town, and Apr. 3, following, 20 acres more. In the same year he was appointed on a committee to survey Jeffrey's Creek (now Manchester), and Mackerell Cove. April 17, 1637, it was voted "that in case Ric'd Huchenson shall sett up plowing within 2 years he may haue 20 acres more to bee added to his pportion." This appears to be in consequence of the great scarcity of ploughs, there being but thirty-seven in all the settlements. In 1648, at Salem Village, he bought of Elias Stileman, his farm of 150 acres, for ¹15. He then sold half of it to Nathaniel Putnam in 1651.

After his first wife's death, he married Oct. 1668, Susanna, widow of Samuel Archard.

The records do not show him to have been officially engaged in many matters of public trust, but he was undoubtedly a man of indomitable perseverance, great vigor of mind and physical endurance, a strict disciplinarian in religious affairs, a thorough agriculturist, and as he had amassed a large landed estate, he had, before the close of his life, divided much of his property among his children.

On the decease of James Standish, Mr. Hutchinson was appointed administrator. Richard later married his widow, Sarah Standish. At his third marriage he must have been at least 79 years of age, and certainly 66 on his second.

His will was signed Jan. 19, 1679, and proved Sept. 28, 1682. He died on 11 Feb. 1681/1682. His widow survived him, and shortly after married for her third husband, Thomas Roots, of Manchester, whose Will was proved Nov. 27, 1683. She was living as late as March 1683-4.

His will stated in part that his wife was to be made comfortable for one of her age by Richard¹s son Joseph; to have what she had when they married if she wished to remove; he bequeathed property to son-in-law Anthony Ashby and daughter Abigail, his wife; son-in-law Daniel Boardman and daughter Hannah, his wife; sons-in-law Nathaniel Putnam, Thomas Hale and James Hadlock; grandchildren Bethia Hutchinson and Sarah Hadlock; servant, Black Peter. His son Joseph was appointed executor.

"He was a thorough agriculturist, and by assiduous devotion to his

which on his death was divided according to the terms of his will.

"He and his wife are recorded as members of the first church in Salem.
He married three times, the last when he was seventy nine years of age.
He was born in 1602 and died in 1682."

From _Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter
Goodwin Davis (1885-1966)_, by Walter Goodwin Davis with an
Introduction by Gary Boyd Roberts, Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc.,
Baltimore, Maryland, 1996, pp. 2:320-21:
He may very possibly be identical with that Richard Hutchinson who
married Alice Bosworth at Cotgrave, co. Nottingham, and who was the
father of three daughters baptized in neighboring parishes between 1628
and 1630, two of whom bore the names of Richard Hutchinson's two
oldest daughters with him in Salem. The descent from an armorial
family of Hutchinson of Arnold and Newark, co. Nottingham, provided for
him, is, however, insufficiently proven to be acceptable.

Hutchinson applied for admission as a freeman and was sworn March 4,
1634/5. For the first few years after its arrival the family seems to
have lived in the thickly settled part of Salem, as it is recorded that
Philemon Dickerson was granted land for tanpits near Richard
Hutchinson/s house in 1639. Before this, however, he had begun to
accumulate the large acreage in the heavily forested section, later
known as Salem Village and Danvers, which became his homestead. In
1636 and 1637 he was granted a total of one hundred acres, the last
twenty being on condition that he "shallo sett up plowing within 2
years." Clearing the land was a lengthy process. Adjoining this land
were two hundred acres granted to Mr. (Edmund) Freeman and one hundred
acres granted to John Thorndike, both of which Hutchinson acquired,
giving him a farm of four hundred acres. On June 6, 1648, he bought from
Elias Stileman an adjoining farm of one hundred and fifty acres, now the
center of Danvers, and on February 21, 1649, with his son-in-law
Nathaniel Putnam he bought from William Haynes one-half (one hundred
and fifty acres) of the Pease farm. His final important purchase was
made in partnershhip with John Putnam, John Hathorn and Daniel Ray on
October 31, 1662, when they bought from "Worshipful Major Hathorn" and
Capt. Richard Davenport two farms of about two hundred and eighty acres
each, all of which made him one of the greatest land owners of the place
and time.

Hutchinson's public services were slight. In 1636/7 with Richard
Brackenbury and Thomas Lathrop he viewed "what Inlands their is
betwixt Jeffreys creeks and Mackerell Cove, 4 or ffyve miles," in what is
now Manchester. He was admitted to Salem church in 1647. His
appearances in court, both as plaintiff and defendant, were in minor
causes, but as a witness in Cromwell v. Rush in 1660 he gave the
interesting information that his age was then about fifty-eight years.

In 1661 Hutchinson and his son-in-law Nathanial Putnam went to
Ipswich to arrange a marriage between Hannah Hutchinson and Daniel
Boardman with Boardman's father. To further the match Thomas
Boardman agreed to give Daniel a deed for one-half of his dwelling,
orchard and land, and if Daniel should die without issue Hannah was to be
paid a ¹100 jointure after which his whole estate was to be at his
father's disposal. After the marriage Boardman built a new house and
offered Daniel his choice of that or the old one to live in, but he dalayed
giving a legal conveyance and his son finally sued for it.

Hutchinson disposed of much of his property to his children in his
lifetime. He and his wife Alice conveyed half of the Stileman farm to
Nathaniel Putnam in 1651. On May 16, 1666, he gave to his son Joseph
one quarter of the Stileman farm "where are now his dwelling house,
barn and land already broken up," the apple trees in the old orchard and
three hundred other acres. On the same day he deeded to his son John the
family homestead and all the meadow purchased of Capt. Davenport. In
1680 he mad a gift to his son-in-law James Hadlock which was
confirmed by Joseph Hutchinson in 1704.

BIOGRAPHY: This biography lifted from http://members.aol.com/masontree/barhutch.htm, originally from Cutter 1908:

BIOGRAPHY: "(X) Richard Hutchinson, son of Thomas Hutchinson (9), was born 1602-1603. In 1660 he deposed that his age was fifty-eight. He married, at Cotgrave, county Nottingham, England, December 7, 1627, Alice Bosworth, probably daughter of Joseph Bosworth, of Southell, otherwise known as the cathedral church of Nottingham. He was the immigrant ancestor, and came to America in 1634 with his wife Alice and four children, and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. He had a grant of land from the town of Salem in 1836 and the next year a grant of twenty acres more, 'provided he will set up a plough.' It is said that at that time there were but thirty-seven ploughs in the entire colony. In 1654 he had another parcel of land granted him and in 1660 still another. This land was situated in the vicinity of Hathorne's Hill, Bever Dam brook, now called Beaver brook, which runs through Middleton into the Ipswich river. He and his wife were members of the Salem Church as early as 1636. He bought a farm of one hundred and fifty acres at Salem Village (Danvers) of Elias Stillman in 1748, and that was his homestead afterwards. He served on a committee to survey Jeffrey's creek (now Manchester) and Mackeral cove. He married (second), in October 1668, Sarah Standish, widow of James Standish, of whose estate Hutchinson was appointed administrator April 1, 1679. His will was dated January 19, 1679, and proved September 26, 1683. His widow married (third) Thomas Roots, of Manchester, whom she survived. Children of first wife, the first five born in England: 1. Alice, baptized at North Muskham, Nottinghamshire, September 27, 1628, died there the same year. 2. Elizabeth, baptized at Arnold [England], August 30, 1628, married Decon Nathaniel Putnam of Danvers [MA]. 3. Mary, baptized at North Muskham, December 28, 1630, married Thomas Hale, of Newbury, Massachusetts. 4. Rebecca, born about 1632, married James Hadlock, of Salem, May 1658. 5. Joseph, mentioned below. 6. Abigail, baptized December 25, 1636, married Anthony Ashby. 7. Hannah, baptized at Salem, April 12, 1602, married Daniel Boardman. 8. John, born May, 1643, married July, 1672, Sarah Putnam."
