George Hutchinson, "of Sheffield, in the county of York, distiller," was early settled of West Jersey. He was one of the commissioners appointed by the Proprietors, March 2, 1676, to lay out the town of Burlington, and was a signer of the "Concessions." which bore date the following day. In 1680, he, with William Penn and others, procured the removal of an unjust tax on the settled goods, imposed by the governor of New York. In 1688, at the Proprietors meeting in Burlington, he was chosen one of the trustees for the ensuing year. He was the treasurer of Burlington in 1694. His name constantly appears in the early records of West Jersey.
In 1696, George Hutchinson removed to Philadelphia, where he died in 1698.
