THE HUTCHINSONS OF NEW ENGLAND.

FIRST GENERATION.

(1) RICHARD 1 , son of THOMAS (35), of Arnold, Eng., was born in 1602. The date of his birth is ascertained from a deposition on file in the office of the Essex Coimt) r Court, Salem, Mass., where in a case of Cromwell vs. Ruck, 1660, he states his age as being 58 years. 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, 1639, one Philemon Dick- erson was granted four poles of land "neere Richard Hutchinson's house, to make tan pitts and to dress goates skinnes and hides." 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 dis- appeared from the records of Salem. In 1636, Mr. Hutchinson re- ceived a grant of 60 acres of land from the town, and Apr. 3, follow- ing, 20 acres more. In the same year he was appointed on a com- mittee 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 £15. 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. He aud his wife were members of the first ch., Salem, as early as 1636, on whose records he is
