NOTES for Hutchins Burton: Hutchins was born 09 Apr 1694, married 31 Mar 1719 (records of marriages in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA), and died 1763 in Henrico Co., VA.

His family resided at Westham (Burton Chronicles of Colonial Virginia), on the western side of what is now the city of Richmond. His first appearance in the records was in 1719 when he was appointed road surveyor "from William Gordons to Tuckahoe Bridge." The land patents to Hutchins Burton began on Sept. 5, 1723 (book 11, page 246) when he purchased 400 acres on the north side of James river. On Mar. 24, 1725, he secured by patent 400 more acres. On Aug. 1, 1735, he purchased 400 additional acres on the north side of James river. Benjamin Clark was a neighbor. During July 1745 he obtained land grants for 390 acres and another plot of 191 acres. There is evidence of many more land purchases and sales. He may have owned in excess of 2500 acres of land in Henrico and Cumberland Counties.

When he married in 1719, the record in St. Peter's Parish in New Kent County stated: "Mr. Hutchins Burton and Susanna Allen was married March ye 31st 1719". A copy of their Bible record is found in the Library of Virginia, Richmond, VA. It is a poor, barely readable copy, #30346, listed under Burton-Price Family bible Records, Henrico & Pittsylvania Counties 1694-1779.

The book "The Allen Family of England....etc" by Richard Fenton Wicker, Jr. 1995, page 16, incorrectly gives information regarding Hutchens Burton, the husband of Judith Allen. Mr. Wicker claims that Hutchens' father was Abraham (1669-1736) and Mary (Bevill) Burton. He uses "TN Cousins, page 636) as a source saying that Abraham Burton was the son of Thomas and Susannah (Allen) Burton. I would believe that the Bible record quoted above was more accurate.

Of their many children, two were, according to court records, a cause of some concern and trouble for their parents. In Feb. 1762 Hutchins brought suit against Samuel (his son) and Mary Burton (widow of his son David) as executors of David Burton. In his will dated 1763, Hutchins left only five shillings to his son Samuel and made no mention of his grandson David. His will is found in loose leaf papers in the State Library at Richmond, VA.

The will of Hutchins Burton is found in Colonial Wills of Henrico Co., VA, Part 2 1737-1781 by Benjamin B. Weisiger III: "To son Samuel Burton, 5 shillings, to son Hutchins Burton 2 negroes, to son William Allen Burton 2 negroes, to son Noel Burton 90 acres on upper side of Westham Creek including plantation where he lives, cow and calf, 1 negro for life, and after his death to his daughter Ann Burton, to my son in law Anthony Mathews and to my daughter Ann Mathews, a negro man, also my negro woman Fillis for life, and 2 negroes to granddaughter Elizabeth Mathews and negro to granddaughter Susanna Mathews, to son Charles Burton, 2 negroes and 100 pounds of the money the land in Cumberland County sold for, to son Robert Burton 5 shillings, to son in law William Price and my daughter Susannah Price 6 negroes, and to said daughter a negro to be divided after her death, between her daughters Sarley, Susannah and Elizabeth, to son Richard Burton, 2 negroes and items; and if he dies, to my son Julius Burton, to son Julius Burton 2 negroes and items and if he dies to my son Richard Burton, to son Hutchins Burton 300 acres where he lives and 1/2 the mill, to son Julius, after death of his mother, all the other part of that tract where I live, about 400 acres to seel negro woman Doll, and divide money between my daughters Ann Mathews and Susannah Price, to Magdalene Burton, daughter of my son Hutchins Burton a cow and calf, to wife Susannah, house and plantation for life and negroes.
