- Provenance
The memorial theorem that bears the name of Nathan Hutchinson was most likely created by his daughter Olivia Hutchinson born in 1808 in Milford New Hampshire married a Spaulding of the same town and died there in 1835. Olivia was a descendant of several prominent New England families who came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Great Migration of early 1600’s. Richard Hutchinson and his wife (Sarah Standish) were both born in and married in Nottingham, England. They came as a family bringing several children including a son, Olivia’s ancestor, Joseph Hutchinson to Salem.
The Hutchinsons came from Nottingham in the vicinity of Sherwood Forest where they can be traced back to 1282. The area was settled in Roman times but remained sparsely settled. Nottinghamshire was actively Puritan and the family left to come to America as part of the Great Migration about 1634. Richard’s son Joseph was married in Salem about 1660 to Lydia Buxton and later Bethial Clark.
The first generation of Hutchinsons’ born in America included Benjaman Hutchinson. His son, also named Benjamin was a famous participant in the Salem witch trials. He was adopted by the Ingersoll’s whose tavern became the backdrop for much of the drama. His son Nathan married Rachel Stearnes whose family arrived in Salem on the Winthrop fleet. Rachel and Nathan were married in Massachusetts but left to settle in Milford, New Hampshire where he died in Amherst in 1741.
Oliva’s grandfather, Nathan Hutchinson II was born in Amherst, New Hampshire in 1751 married Rebecca Peabody, a descendant of the Peabodys who sailed as part of the b Winthrop fleet. They were married in Milford in 1778. He died in 1831 outliving his son Nathan who was Olivia’s father. Nathan III died in Boston in 1823 though he was not a resident of Boston and the Hutchinson remained in Milford a section of Hillsborough county which was originally a part of Amherst. Descendants of the family can still be found in Milford.
