Marriages: First husband was Daniel Hutt, Master of the Mayflower. They were married 6/1/1669. He was appointed Justice for Westmoreland by the governor. Westmoreland Court records from 1658-1661 show "Daniel Hutt" to be a "mariner" and had appointed Daniel Lisson of Appamatocks to be his attorney in a statement dated 9 March 1658/9 (Westmoreland County, Va. Records, 1658-1661, John F. Dorman, p. 38 ) Hutt was originally a New England sailing master and was convicted in 1659 of illegally trading arms with the Indians in Maryland and his bark, the Mayflower, was confiscated
through action of the Provincial Court. Although not an inhabitant of the Province at this time, he was present at the sessions at St. Clement's Manor and Bushwood which preceded Fendall's Rebellion. Subsequently he was master of vessels engaged in the Barbados trade and made his home in Virginia. (Maryland Genealogies: A consolidation of Articles from the Maryland Historical Magazine. Abbrev: Maryland Genealogies Author: Thomas L. Hollowak Publication: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1980 Page: "Thomas Gerard and his sons-in-law" by Edwin W. Beitzell, pages 478-495. Quote is from pages 492-493.) Daniel Hutt's first recorded existence in America comes in the 1650s, where land transactions in Virginia and a court proceeding in Maryland are recorded. "Virginia Biographies" lists Daniel as "a merchant of London, England, and a master of the ship May Flower came to Virginia in 1668." (Virginia Biographies, p.202) Northern Neck Historical Society's magazine states:

Daniel Hutt, a mariner and merchant, operated several ocean-going vessels between the Colonies and the Continent and was at one time styled a merchant of London. He lived for awhile in New England, inasmuch as at his settlement in Maryland, he was referred to as late of that section. Among his ships were the Mayflower of cherished memories, John's Adventure, and Pinke Adventure, and there are records of his ships sailing to Hamburg, London, the Barbadoes, and Newport, Rhode Island. His marriage to Temperance Gerrard occurred at her father's seat on Nomini Bay. His wealth and vastness of his Virginia estate can best be judged by a lien placed on 1,505 acres, 27 servants, and 100 heads of cattle. Hutt died in 1674, leaving a fruitful widow and two young children.(Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 1, p. 331)

It is important to note that this May Flower is not the same historical ship that sailed from England and the Netherlands with the Pilgrims aboard, bound for what would become known as the Plimoth Colony, Massachusetts. The original Mayflower returned home beyond repair and most likely never made a second voyage. The ship name Mayflower was a common one in 17th Century England.3 This does not stop sources from making that illusion, such as "he operated famous ships, including the Mayflower" as cited in the Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Magazine in 1951 (Marriage of Some Virginia Residents, 1607-1800, Vol. I, Dorothy Wulfeck, p. 346)

The May Flower, however, is important for it was confiscated by Maryland prior to a criminal conviction won against Daniel Hutt for illegally trading with Indians. On March 29th, 1659, Daniel is to have sailed up the Potomac River in an apparent guns-for-corn exchange with Indians living at Pamaunkey on the Piscataway River in Maryland. Maryland Court proceedings claim he was not an inhabitant of the province and without license unlawfully traded with the "Indian inhabitants." Daniel's defense was he had not broken the laws or acts of the province, and if anything was committed was done in ignorance. No less than five witnesses were called against Daniel Hutt to prove the case. While none witnessed any actual exchange, the circumstantial evidence of a boat filled with guns returning with corn in exchange was enough for the court to convict him and forfeiture of the May Flower and her cargo. On May 2nd, 1659, the May Flower was sold to Samuel Tilghman by the Province of Maryland. (Archives of Maryland, volume XLI, pp. 288-289, 302-303)

The Archives of Maryland also include two letters submitted by Daniel Hutt from William Brenton, who signs one letter with "your loving friend and employer." The letters detail instructions from the latter on cargo that Daniel was to procure as Master of Ketch Johns Adventure, bound for Barbados and the Pinke Adventure, bound for Virginia. The ports of call ranged from Virginia to Barbados to collect cargos of horses, tobacco, wool, sugar and rum. William Brenton would become the President of Rhode Island in 1660 and later Governor in 1668.

In a letter dated June 8th, 1660, Brenton asks Daniel to "procure these things as follows: 10 or 12 barrels of very good Rum, 10 barrels of Molasses, 3 or 4 barrels of Muscovado Sugar, for our own store, 100 weight of good white sugar [and] two good bags of very good cotton wool." He was to deliver these goods to Brenton's Newport, RI house and to Boston. (Archives of Maryland, volume XLI, pp. 410-411)

As early as 1656, Daniel Hutt is recorded in real estate transactions in Virginia. On April 24, 1656, Governor Edward Digges of Virginia transferred 1000 acres in Westmoreland Co., VA on the upper side of the Mechoticke River to Daniel Hutt and Edward Griffith. On June 20, 1656, three transfers occurred between Daniel, Jonathan Dodman and Edward Griffith. Hutt acquired 100 acres "adjoining east of the Potomac and west into the woods and south upon his own land." [note: spellings and abbreviations adjusted] (Virginia Colonial Abstracts, vol. 23, Westmoreland County (1653-1657), pp. 49-50)

With these real estate transactions and the Archives of Maryland court records, it shows that Daniel Hutt was quite active along the eastern seaboard of America during the middle and late 1650s. It also shows that Daniel could not have been born after 1640, as it would be virtually impossible for someone under 20 to be master of several ships and acquire such acreage in Virginia. The letters from William Brenton in Rhode Island, allows for the possibility that Daniel may have resided elsewhere in the Americas (perhaps New England) before settling in Virginia. Clearly, these early records show an individual who is established in America and perhaps had left England sometime in the first half of the 1650s, if not earlier. It is then more believable that Daniel was born prior to 1630 to have such experiences and wealth.

Between 1662 and 1666, Daniel again appears in real estate transaction records amassing nearly 3000 acres by 1666. In 1662 he acquired 850 acres in Northumberland County, on the south side of the Potomac River and south side of Herring Creek, 500 acres in Nomini, and an additional 500 acres of George Read's property (granted to the latter in 1653). Daniel acquired 250 acres in 1664 that touched both the Nomini River and Coss Coss Creek, and 875 acres of adjoining land along the Coss Coss in June of 1666. The 1664 recording lists Daniel as a merchant (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nell-Nugent, pp. 500, 522, 563,)

On June 1, 1669, Daniel marries Temperance Gerrard, daughter of Sir Thomas Gerrard, a notable figure in Maryland's formation. Gerrard is descended from King Edward II of England. His great-grandfather had been captured and placed in the Tower of London for plotting to aid in the escape of Mary Queen of Scots. As a reparation for his ancestor's pain and suffering, Gerrard was given a significant amount of land in Maryland, known as St. Clements Manor. Here, Gerrard and his wife, Susannah Snow, raised their children. Two of Gerrard's daughters would marry George Washington's Great-Grandfather, Lt. Col. John Washington, in succession, though neither were an ancestor of George. {Gerrard's own page is forthcoming} John Washington purchased 450 acres of land adjacent to Daniel Hutt (on south side of Potomac River in Nomini Bay, Westmoreland County). (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nell-Nugent, Vol. 2: 1666-1695, "Abstracts of Land Patents and Grants,")

After Daniel Hutt's death, Temperance re-married twice. Her second husband, John Crabb, was also a merchant. Her third husband was Benjamin Branchflower. Upon her death in 1712, she left the balance of her estate to her grandchildren of sons Gerrard Hutt and Osman Crabb (of her second marriage) and a feather bed and furniture to an Ann Davis, who would receive it upon reaching age 17. (Maryland Genealogies, Vol. I, p. 497 & Wills of Westmoreland County, Virginia, Augusta B. Fothergill, (page unknown))

What the will and other sources also shed is that Daniel Hutt had a brother, Johnathan, who was in London at the time of Daniel's death. The Complete Book of Emigrants, 1661-1699, states for the year 1671: "16 September. Deposition by John Hutt, citizen and girdler of London, aged 31, that his brother Daniell Hutt, now in Virginia, became indebted on 19 November 1668 to Christopher Bannister, citizen and haberdasher of London, for stockings sent to Virginia. Edward Calthord Jr. of Southwark, Surrey, grocer aged 25 years, deposes similarly. A letter of 5 June 1669 from Daniell Hutt to Bannister is produced in court (LMCD)."

From the preface key, LMCD = Lord Mayor’s Court of London Depositions. Apparently from this source: "Washington: National Genealogical Society, 1980." (The Complete Book of Emigrants, 1661-1699, Peter Wilson Coldham, 1990; p. 182 BOOK SUBTITLED: A comprehensive listing compiled by English Public Records of Those Who Took Ship to the Americas for Political, Religious, and Economic Reasons; of Those Who Were Deported for Vagrancy, Roguery, or Non-Conformity; and of Those Who Were Sold to Labour in the New Colonies.)

One Internet genealogy forum had an individual relay an unverified story of a family member regarding Daniel Hutt. It stated that there were supposedly three Hutt brothers in England: one left to seek fortunes in New Zealand, the other (Daniel) came to the Americas and the third stayed in England. Supposedly there is a Hutt statue of some sort in London, England.

(Westmoreland County Records, Wills)

Additional information from another source:

This family is descended from Daniel Hutt of Westmoreland County, Virginia. He immigrated to the American colonies in the late 1600's from London. He married Temperance Gerard, the daughter of a prominent Marylander, who left Maryland for Virginia after Bacon's Rebellion. See the links below.

Daniel Hutt was born between 1600 and 1630, probably in London, England. He was a ship's captain for quite awhile. There are records showing him sailing from London to Virginia, Maryland, Barbados, and New England. The earliest record I have found for Daniel Hutt is in a article called "Cultural Continuity among the Piscataway Indians of Colonial Maryland" by James H. Merrell. He says:

"In 1659 colonial authorities caught Daniel Hutt illegally trading with Indians on Piscataway Creek. Hutt's boat was loaded with arms, indicating that some traders offered more than colored beads and copper bracelets in exchange for the natives' corn."

Thus it appears that Daniel was at one time a smuggler. Many of the merchants and seafaring men of his day were sons of the aristocracy. At the time, only the eldest son inherited, and the younger sons had to find employment. The merchant class was therefore an acceptable profession in England at the time. Many of the men, who moved to Nominy Bay in Virginia at the same time Daniel did, were sons of old English families. It was not uncommon for these merchants to make trips to the "homeland" at least once a year. They had many servants and stores which supplied their neighbors with British goods. Many were largely involved in growing and selling tobacco.

Therefore, it is very likely that Daniel is the second or third son of an old English family. This is further evidenced by the receipt of payment to Francis Chaplin, Sheriff of London for passage on the "Susanna" in 1668. A copy of which is found in the William & Mary quarterly Vol. 15 No. 3. Sir Francis Chaplin was married to Anne Hutt, possibly a sister to Daniel and daughter of Daniel Hutt of Essex. This intimate relationship would explain why Sir Francis loaned Daniel 20 pounds for passage to America. As of yet, the idea that Daniel and Sir Francis were brothers in law is merely speculation, however it would seem to fit the circumstances. Since Daniel's earlier arrest for selling guns to Indians occurred in Maryland, it is a possibility that he met Thomas Gerard (his future father in law) there.

Mr. Richard Cole, one of Daniel's neighbors and an apparent social pariah was quoted as saying "Hardwick and Hutt were rogues" and Washington "an ass-negroe-driver" (source: William & Mary Quarterly; Washington and his neighbors Vol 4: Issue 1 pgs. 28)

From: The Washington Ancestry and Records of the McClain, Johnson and Forty Other Colonial American Families, Volume 1 pg. 170-171

Daniel Hutt served as a Justice in Westmoreland County, along with John Washington (George Washington's great grandfather), Valentine Peyton, Captain William Pierce, Captain George Mason , Mr. John Lord and Lt. Colonel John Dodman

Information from Charlotte Sandel Beck: Hutt Family Genealogy.

There is a record July 20, 1659 of John Washington's men and Daniel Hutt stripping tobacco together, also in 1659 Daniel Hutt was caught illicitly smuggling guns along with glass beads to the Piscataway Indians. Daniel and John Washington served as Westmoreland Justices in 1663. Prospect Hill was the name of the original 875 acre plantation patented in 1666. It remained in the family until 1824. Today it is located on the south side of Nomini Creek at highway 621 bridge.

Information from J. Clifford Hutt, Montross, VA.

Place of residence has been listed as Nomini Bay, Potomac River, Westmoreland County, Virginia. On Herring Branch of Nomini River. London merchant, and master of the ship Mayflower. Settled in VA in 1668, married in 1669. Had plantation of 1505 acres, 27 slaves, and 100 head of cattle.

Daniel Hutt is spoken of in one place as a merchant of London, and in another place as Captain of the Mayflower. The above is a receipt for his passage over in the Susanna. He settled at Nominy Bay in Westmoreland county, and some years later he mortgaged his estate in Virginia to secure 640 pounds, due Sir Francis Chaplin, Sheriff of London. This estate consisted of 1505 acres on Nominy Gay, 27 servants and 100 head of cattle upon the premises. He married Temperance Gerard, daughter of Dr. Thomas Gerard, in 1669, and his will was proved five years later, and names two children, Ann Hutt and Gerard Hutt.

After his death his widow married John Crabbe, merchant. Gerard Hutt died in 1739, and his will names Daniel, Gerard and Thomas and wife, Anne, and daughters, Frances, Elizabeth, Susanna and Anne, and grandson John Hutt. The Hutt family is represented in Westmoreland County by Colonel J. Warren Hutt, who has been for many years clerk of the county. From his family Bible I extracted the following entries: Elliott Sturman was born November 27, 1759, died December 11, 1791; Thomas Hutt was born January 30, 1766; died September 2, 1805; Mary Young was born February 29, 1764; William Hutt was born December 11, 1801; Joseph Warren, son of William and Elizabeth Jane Harvey Hutt, was born May 18, 1829; Mary Hutt, who was originally Mary Young, died the 22nd of April, 1805; William Hutt, father of Joseph Warren Hutt, died the 14th day of April, 1850, in the 49th year of his age. Marriages: Elliott Sturman married Mary Young June 10, 1782; Thomas Hutt married Mary Sturman (widow of Elliott Sturman) September 11, 1792; William Hutt, son of Thomas and Mary, above named, married to Elizabeth Jane Harvey on January 27, 1828; J. Warren Hutt, son of William and E. J. Hutt, was married to Elizabeth Elbert Costin, on March 8, 1854.

Her third marriage was to Benjamin Blanchflower in 1692.

Individual Note 2

Temperance Gerrard (daughter of Thomas Gerard and Susanna Snow) was born 1646 in Ashton Manor, Lancastershire, England, and died 1701 in Westmoreland County, Va. She married Daniel Hutt on June 01, 1669 in Nomini Bay, Westmoreland County, Va, son of John Gerard.

Notes for Temperance Gerrard: From Glenda Hinz (glhinz@alltel.net)

Temperance Gerrard was the daughter of Dr. Thomas Gerrard of Maryland, a surgeon. Two of her sisters (Anne and Frances) were each married to Lt. Col. John Washington, President George Washington's great-grandfather. Volume 1 of Virginia County Records Publications, Westmoreland Co., 1962, p. 20, notes that the will of Temperance Blanchflower was filed on 12 Dec. 1711, and proved on 4 Feb. 1712. It said: "To Ann Davis, when 17, son of Osmon Crabb; my grandchildren, the children of my 2 sons Gerrard Hutt and Osmon Crabb, the two latter to be executors."

From the Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 1, p. 331: If acquiring husbands in that day were indicative of charm and appeal, Temperance Gerrard, daughter of Thomas, even with such an uncavalierish Christian name, must have been a winner. Her first marriage to Daniel Hutt, a mariner and merchant somewhat her senior, made her one of the most wealthy matrons of the Northern Neck. Hutt operated several ocean-going vessels between the Colonies and the Continent and at one time styled a merchant of London. He lived for awhile in New England, inasmuch as at his settlement in Maryland, he was referred to as late of that section. Among his ships were the Mayflower of cherished memories, John's Adventure, and Pinke Adventure, and there are records of his ships sailing to Hamburg, London, the Barbadoes, and New Port, Rhode Island.

Temperance married secondly John Crabbe who died early leaving issue. Still a twice-told widow she soon married Mr. Appleton. Then there is some evidence that a fourth husband was one of the Washingtons [actually her two sisters]. She died in 1711 as Madam Blanchflower, having given her final vow to Benjamin Blanchflower in 1692.

Her son, Gerrard Hutt, was her most distinguished progeny, for he commanded a foot company in Westmoreland County and was vestryman of Copley Parish. His descendants today are numerous.

Temperance Blanchflower's will was written December 12, 1711 and proven February 4, 1712. It states: "One feather bed, furniture etc, to Ann Davis when 17 years of age; my grandchildren the children of my two sons Gerard Hutt and Osman Crabb residue of estate."

Thomas Gerard & His Sons-in-Law by Edwin Beitzell

RESOURCES: Edwin Beitzell. Thomas Gerard and His Sons-in-law. pgs 3. Notes: Edwin Beitzell reports that Daniel Hutt of Virginia married Temperance Gerard. Hutt was originally from New England. He was a sailing master and in 1659 was convicted of illegally trading with the Maryland Indians. His "bark" the Mayflower, was confiscated through action of the Provincial Court. He was not an inhabitant of the Province at this time, but he was present at the sessions at St. Clement's Manor and Bushwood which preceded Fendal's Rebellion. Subsequently he was master of vessels engaged in Barbados trade. He made his home in Virginia.

Daniel Hutt bio

Daniel Hutt is the first Hutt known to have a continuing family in America, but is not the first Hutt found in the New World. In the James Citty [sic], Virginia Colony minutes of the council and general court for September 10, 1627, there was a case concerning Amy Hall, wife of Christopher Hall, of Archers Hope, near the creek of the same name, and near Williamsburg. Others mentioned in the report were John Upton, William Harmm and Robert Hutt and his wife Anne. [Virginia Magazine of History & Biography, Vol. 38, No. 2, p. 107, April, 1920] On May 15, 1635 a Robert Hutt "imbarqued in the Plaine Joan, Richard Buckam", Master, from England to Virginia. There was some speculation as to whether those on board were headed for New England, eventually. [NEHGR, Vol. 2, April 1848, p. 211-2] On January 17, 1652 a Certificate of Head Rights in Lower Norfolk County Court, Virginia was issued to John Bigge for 100 acres for the trransportation of two persons; John Bigge and Joseph Hutt. [NEHGR, Vol. 47, April 1893, p.194] * * * * * * * * * * "Daniel Hutt was originally a New England sailing master and was convicted in 1659 of illegally trading with the Indians in Maryland and his bark, the Mayflower (not THE Mayflower), was confiscated through action of the Provincial Court. Although not an inhabitant of the Province at the time, he was present at the sessions at St. Clement's Manor and Bushwood which preceded Fendall's Rebellion. Subsequently he was master of vessels engaged in the Barbados trade and made his home in Virginia." [Beitzell, 492-3.] Court records in Boston, in New England and Westmoreland Co., Virginia, dated September 17, 1658, states that William Brenton [or Branton] of Boston in New England appoints "Mr. Daniel Hutes, master of the Mayflower, my attorney in Virginia and in a speciall manner a sertinge sume tobaccowes due to me from Mr. William Battine by bill 8 Aprell 56." April 24, 1660 Westmoreland Co. court records state "Daniell Hutt the atturney of Mr. Wi lliam Brenton doe ingage hime to pay unto Mr. John Hawkins 50,000 pounds of tobacco according to Act of Assembly [;] 20,000 pounds thereof to be paid in porke greene without salt, heads or feete, provided Brenton or his atturney cannott without losse or damadge procure the whole 50,000 before 25 March next, but if it shall be procured then the whole 50,000 to be paid in tobacco upon 25 March next in 1661 at the severall places or howes that shall bee assigned by Mr. Brenton in Maryland or Virginia or booth, provided that it bee not below Patomak River or Great Wiccacomaco. [signed] Daniell Hutt." Branton and Hutt are again mentioned in a court record dated July 20, 1660, Barbadoes, and recorded in Westmoreland Co. on April 19, 1661. "Wee whose names are under written as attorneys to the Rt. Honorable Coll. Tho. Madyford Esqr., Governor of this Island, Haveing a bond in which Jno. Hawkins is bound to pay L1000 sterling and wee being informed that their is to the vallue of 50,000 pounds of tobacco in the hands of Mr. Dan: Hutt as he is atturney to Mr. Wm. Branton belonging to Hawkines, did theirfore by a forraigne attachment attach the same. We engage ourselves in the sum of L1000 sterling to Dan: Hutt to keep harmeless him and Wm. Branton of all damage by reason of detaineing the 50,000 pounds of tobacco until our action against Hawkins is tryed and for paying the same to Mr. Tho. Willsford our atturny in Virginia. [signed] Richard Leader [and] Edward Bowden." March 9, 1658/59 Westmoreland Co., Virginia court records. "Daniell Hutt, mariner, doe appoint Daniell Lisson of Appamatocks my attorney to sue for all bills, bonds, accompts, debts, and to commence suite in a particular manner with Thomas Bagg for an inquiry donn either unto Daniell Hutt or any other person that hath impowered Hutt his attorny." In the will of William Balldridge, dated March 20, 1658/59 Westmoreland Co., Virginia, Daniell Hutt is to receive "one hundred and odd pounds of tobacco" for unnamed r easons.
