Hutchins-Hutchens. Descendants of Strageman Hutchins, born 1707, of the James River in Virginia and Surry

(Yadkin) County North Carolina, By Rita Hineman Townsend

Mrs Townsend has prepared a monumental record of her mother's family for twelve generations. It begins with

the earliest proved ancestor, Nicholas Hutchins, a Quaker of Henrico County, Virginia, who married Mary, a

daughter of Henry Watkins, 9 8mo 1701 They had four children, a son Strangeman and three daughters, all of

whom were married. In Appendix III the compiler analyzes the several family tradition concerning the family's

origin, some of which are fantastic, and after pointing out the weaknesses she comments: " Tradition, unless

supported by facts, is not acceptable when proving ones descent. It is pleasant to read; and there may be a

thread of some truth found in any of these traditions. But it is best to avoid any of these traditions as

facts."

Strangeman Hutchins lived in Henrico County until his marriage about 1731 to Elizabeth, daughter of Richard

and Mary Cox. Later they moved to Goochland County, where he bought and sold land. In 1782 he began to dispose

of his holdings (including the manumissons of twelve slaves) and shortly thereafter, with his wife and

granddaughter, removed to that part of Surry County North Carolina that is now Yadkin County, following two of

his sons who had preceded them there. Strangeman made his will on 23 11mo 1791; it was probated in 1792. By

Elizabeth Cox he had eleven children.
