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 . 2 Tho m as i . , of whom nothing is known , except that he is ment on ’ in Will a ed his brother Christopher s , s having a daughter Marga THE H TCH NS N FAM L 5 U I O I Y . ’ wh m l as l ret, o is also again named in her uncle Willia s Wil stil living . 3 .
