THE ANCESTRY OF WILLIAM HUTCHINSON AND ANNE

MARBURY.

THE writ er has e i b en able , after a long and laborious investigat on , to solve th e chief doubts existing in respect to the early history and

“ connections of the family of Governor Hutchinson , several of the members of which played important parts m the affairs of New Eng h e land . As has heretofore been his almost invariable experience , fﬁ l n has had more di culty _ clearing away the mists that have enveloped u that history , growing out of doubtful traditions and careless or wilf l a misrepresent tions , than in developing the true facts in the case when once the right clew was obtained . Before proceeding with the history of the immediate family o f the l earliest emigrant ancestor of Governor Hutchinson , it will be we l to state that there is no t the slightest authority for connecting him wi th Yo rkshire either the heraldic family of , . with the branch settled at o ttin h am s hi re Wykeham Abbey in that county , or that in N g from which descended the famous Colonel John Hutchinson , ‘ The theory

~ that Edward Hutchinson; of Alford in Lincolnshire , father of William ’ w i the emigrant, was identical ith Edward Hutch nson of Wykeham,

‘ A o and n bbey , his contemp rary , is entirely baseless it is quite certai that, if there was ever the most distant connection between the two i fam lies , it only existed many generations previous to their time .

“ ” t he e . Edward Hutchinson of Wyk ham Abbey , to whom arms of the

‘ conﬁrmed not 1 581 ( ee r family were ( granted) in , died early in the y 1 4 THE HUTCHINSON FAMILY .

1 5 9 1 his Will being dated on the 20th of February , and proved at Y 22d n ork , on the of April in that year while Edward Hutchi son of

Alford survived him more than forty years . The writer has success fully traced the subsequent history o f the Wykeham branch , and is able to state positively that none of its members ever had anything i “ N to do w th ew England, or any connection with the New England emigrants . It is proposed in this paper to conﬁne the investigation to four

' generations , ending with that embracing the children of William

a N . Hutchinson , the founder of the r ce in ew England Hitherto was nothing has been known of his father, except that his name L Edward, and that he lived at Alford , in incolnshire . The writer is able to present some additional facts respecting him , and also to h f ﬁ establis his paternity . His grand ather has not been identi ed , r and p obably never can be , as he lived before the period of Parish

Registers , left no Will that can be discovered , and was evidently of a very humble rank in life . We may, therefore , commence with

UTCHI NS ON ln wh o H , probably of the city of Linco , had , cer t ainl y , four sons and one daughter, viz

1 Chris t her . op , who was a Clergyman . He was instituted to the th 1 522 church of South Leasingham on the 6 of August, , and to 22d O that of Scremby (both in Lincolnshire) on the of ctober,

1 526 . 1 556 W He died , probably , about June , , as his ill was 8 proved on the th of July in that year , having been made on the 1 8th 1 554 Par of November , , when he described himself as still ” o f son Leasingham . He bequeathed legacies t o his sister and

three brothers , and their children , perfectly identifying them all .

His brother John was his Executor and proved the Will .

Her brother, John Hutchinson , named as Supervisor ’ of both Wills , the contents of which , as well as her husband s ﬁ i description of himself, suf ciently ind cate that their station in life

was very humble .

OHN UTCHINSON 1 1 . J H was apparently the youngest of the four

brothers above named . From the Corporation Records before 23d mentioned it appears that he was apprenticed , on the of September, 1 52 9 , to Edward Atkinson , of the city of Lincoln , glover, for seven

1 5 1 5 . years , which establishes his birth in about the year Like his brother William , he also , after his apprenticeship had expired , pursued u ﬁ n such a co rse as to secure the con de ce of his fellow citizens , and is frequently mentioned as holding minor o ﬁi ces of trust in connec

tion with the business of the Corporation , and rising to the dignity ff 1 547 O 1 l t h r 1 55 of Sheri of the city , in September , n the of Ap il , 6 , was i n el v t he elected an Alderman , and , the following September, e a

U city nfortunately , although the Marriage and Burial egisters of that parish commence as early as 1 562, the Baptismal Register pre v i o us 1 62 1 to is not now in existence , or is , at least , missing, so that

the exact date of his birth cannot be ascertained . In the Corporation 1 5 7 9 Records , however , during the year , there appears an entry sub s t anti all — H ch ns o n H o ch n s o n y as follows Edward o y , son of John y , Kn ht Alderman , deceased , enrolled apprentice to Edmund yg , Alder

The object of thus antedating the commencement of the ter

of apprenticeship is not quite clear, but the probability is that the ’ v Mercer s Company required a ser ice of eight years , and that, in W of order that the term should expire hen he became full age , his

W was - i h - master, ho also his brother law , and an alderman as well ,

conveniently counted the two years preceding the date of the record , he during which had perhaps live d in his family , as a portion of his v was actual term of ser ice . The fact that he so soon afterwards transferred to a new master also looks as though this view of the case

was - was correct, and that the object of his friends to secure his free

The subsequent history of this family belongs to New England , and the writer will not trench upon the peculiar province of his brother hi s antiquarians at home , but bring present labors to a close by dis posing ﬁnally o f the doubts and difﬁculties that have hitherto s u r Ann Hu tchi nson rounded the case of the famous , wife of William , and mother of the children last named . Governor Hutchinson’s traditional reminiscences were mainly cor

Mar bu r Marv u r rect, her maiden name being Anne y (not y) , and her

. wh o father , eventually , a clergyman Those , however, have since ” n “ i terpolated Edward , as the christian name of her father , must have done so from pure conjecture , and no one has attempted to pro

' duce any au th o n ty for the assertion .

As the case possesses considerable interest and importance , the writer will perhaps be pardoned if he produces his evidences , and narrates the series of investigat ions by which he is now able to estab

. lish the conclusion to which he has arrived _ a While ex mining some time ago the Parish Registers of Alford , in

Lincolnshire , he took , among other extracts , the baptisms of twelve ’ and the burials of four children , whose father s name was at first “ ” recorded simply as Francis Marbury , but subsequently with the ” affix of Gentleman . These entries extended over a period of near l fi 1 2 1 585 y twenty years , the rst date being September , , and the last — 2 0 1 604 5 . January , The names of these children were John , Fran

erem u th ﬁ cis , Erasmus , Anthony , J (at rst supposed to mean

Jeremiah , a conclusion subsequently most joyfully abandoned ) , d “ D aniel , Susanna , Mary , Elizabeth , Bri get, Emme (not Emma) , h Anne . n er t h e and This last ame , the time of baptism , and place

W d t h e - l here it occurre , being birth p ace also of William Hutchinson , naturally suggested the idea that she was the Anne Marbury wh o H TCH NS N FAM L 1 9 THE U I O I Y.

t subsequently became his wife . The sta ement , however, of Governor

h w as Hutchinson , t at her father a clergyman , while the father of these ” children was distinctly and repeatedly described as a gentleman , t ut mili ated against this presumption , and the notes taken were p care e a O L fully away for futur investig tion . n returning to ondon , the Mar A bury pedigrees at the College of rms were searched, but without suc - W L L R cess , and , the few Marbury ills at the ondon and incoln egistries ai being equally silent , the notes were ag n laid aside . Afterwards , while making a protracted and thorough examination of the matriculation R e i s ters O g at xford , the writer came suddenly upon the name of Erasmus

‘ who as Marbury , was described the son of a clergyman, and born in c 1 2 ' Lin olnshire . The date of the matriculation was the th of April , — 1 61 6 and . , the age given as nineteen years , i . e . on the last birth day O u n referring to the Alford notes , the baptism of Erasmus Marb ry was t o n 1 5 1 9 — e 5 6 7 . found hav take place on the th of February , Proceed ing with the examination of the Registers , the matriculation of Jeri 1 1 t h moth Marbury , at the same college , was found recorded on the 1 d 61 9 . of June , He was also escribed as the son of a clergyman , I born n Lincolnshire , and of the age of eighteen years . Again , the

d r m u th Alfor notes were referred to , and the baptism of Je e Mar

31 st 1 60 1 . bury was found to have occurred on the of March , After r On i s this , the w iter could not but feel that he was the r ght cent, as it seemed impossible that any other Marbury of Lincolnshire could have“ also had two sons with these uncommon names (and one so ex t rao r ’ dinar n t he y as to be , in the writer s experie ce , unique) , dates of whose births should have s o nicely agreed with those in the matriculation as e t a Register . There w , however, y to be solved the mystery ttend ff de s crl t io ns fat he1 I ing the di erent p given of the . f a clergyman , it was impossible that h e could have been called for twenty years in the “ ” Alford Register a gentleman , and it did not seem likely that a man ﬁ , after gathering about him a family of fteen children , should , so

revealed the name of Anthony Marbury , distinctly described as the ’ ” . L . son of Francis Marbury , Clergyman , of St Martin s , ondon He 2 0th O 1 626 matriculated , also at the same college , on the of ctober , ,

1 608 . at the age of eighteen , which would establish his birth in This was was unsatisfactory , for the Anthony Marbury of Alford baptized 2 s t 1 5 98 9 th on the l of September , , and buried there on the of April , 1 60 1 1 605 , while the family disappeared from that place early in , before which the baptism of no other Anthony was recorded . There was were also several St . Martins in London , and it impossible to tell ’ ewco ur t s R which one was meant . A reference , however , to N eper t o r i u m fﬁ soon settled this latter di culty , for it is there recorded that

Francis Marbury was presented to the Rectory of St . Martin Vintry , 2 8th O 1 6 05 was London , on the of ctober , , and that his successor

Registers of St . Martin Vintry was the next step to be taken ; but, f alas I the volumes previous to 1 668 were ound to b e not in existence .

All hope of discovering the baptism of the second Anthony , the burial of his parents , and perhaps the marriage of his sister Anne with Wil

m . li a Hutchinson , from this source , was destroyed forever However, ’ another fruitless search at the Herald s , College was at last followed I o f by a triumphant success at the British Museum . n a volume the 1 5 5 0 Harleian MSS .
