William

Hutcherson from

Spotslyvania County, VA

in the mid 1700’s

My family Hutchinson/Hutcherson line is descendent from William Hutcherson who was from Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

The first known Hutcherson in this County was William Hutcherson who was imported by Larkin Chew who sold him 100 acres Nov. 5, 1722 as per “a History of Early Spotsylvania” (page 75) by James Manfield and listed in “Spotsylvania County Records 1721-1800” (page 90) edited by William Crozier. 

They may have come from Ireland as William Lynn, Doctor of Physic, of Fredricksburg, in Will Book A in “Spotsylvania County Records 1721-1800” (page 350) dated Oct. 21, 1757, mentions David and William, “two eldest children of my sister Elizabeth Hutcherson in Ireland.” 

This William Hutcherson, as per Will Book D, “Spotsylvania County Records 1721-1800”, page 20, died St. George’s Parish, Oct. 31, 1762, p. July 4, 1763.  Wit. William Wood, James Hutcherson, John Sutton.  Ex. My wife and mother.  Leg. Estate to my wife and mother (no names given).  Page 42, editor’s note.  In the probate, Margaret Hutcherson and Sarah Coleman, qualified as executors.  The bond states Margaret Hutcherson, Edward Coleman and Sarah, his wife.

In Will Book E, “Spotsylvania County Records 1721-1800” , page 29, states

Hutcherson, William, Berkeley Parish, d. Feb 27, 1771, p. Feb. 16, 1775. 

Wit. James Cearnell, Beverley Winslow, Ann Parker, George Stubblefield, Julius Lane.  Ex. William Parker and Alexander Parker.  Leg. Wife Ruth, my plantation and the whole of my estate during her widowhood, and afterwards to be divided thus, - son William and John one shilling each, as they have already been provided for; son Robert, the half of my land whereon I now live; son Charles, the remainder of the tract whereon I now live; daughter Hannah and daughter Mary Ann, the wife of Henry Coleman. Page 109

Also, in Will Book E, page 29, John Hutcherson, Spotsylvania County, died Oct. 6, 1774, p. Nov. 17, 1774.  Wit. William Hutcherson, Charles Hutcherson.  Ex.  nephew John Hutcherson and friend James Coleman of Orange Co.  Leg. Wife Martha; nephews Robert Hutcherson and Charles Hutcherson, sons of deceased brother William Hutcherson; William Hutcherson, son of my nephew John Hutcherson, who was son of my said brother William.
