Thomas Hutchins, of Wood Burcote

Early Towcester Records and Hutchin Elmore Hutchins: " 'The English market town of Towcester (pronounced Toaster), in the southern part of Northamptonshire, known early as Laclodurum, was a Roman settlement on the great road, Watling Street, going from London to the northwest of England.' "The earliest records of St. Lawrence, then parish church at Towcester, built in the 13 Century, were either destroyed in the wild rough times which engulfed the village over the centuries or there were no formal records kept which is more than possible. From what early records there are, beginning just before 1600, several interesting, and somewhat important, facts emerge. " 'The Hutchins of Towcester parish were freeholders, yeomen, which meant that they held their own land with free tenure. Their home was "Wood Burcot". Whether Wood Burcot was a still smaller village in the parish of St. Lawrence of Towcester or whether it was a homestead so named is not entirely clear from the church entries. Whatever the source, reference is made to the family as "Hutchins of Wood Burcot". " 'The Christian names within the family, as they appear on the church registers, were mostly those which appear over and over, generation after generation, in the MY Lady's Manor Lines.' " "(These names
