Dear Evalyn, I just read your post to me. How ironic that you wrote that on my birthday. Harold was my grandfather, so that would mean that your father would be my great uncle and my father would be your cousin. How interesting. Do you live in Illinois? I'm in the Detroit area as are most of Harold and Eileen's children and grandchildren. Would like to hear more from you. My e-mail is [email protected] Thanks, Sara

Hi, I have been researching a Hutchcraft who married into the Upchurch line in 1848. Ann Hutchcraft was born in Ramsey, England and I have traced her line back to Thomas Hutchcraft who was married to Ann Bishop in 1721, at Upwood Huntingdonshire. Before that date there doesn't seem to be any Hutchcrafts in the area, although an Ann H wife of William H is in the burials register for 1720. Does anyone know where Thomas Hutchcraft may have come from? his estimated dob would be 1700. Regards, Cynthia

Cynthia, The following information is from Edna Hutchcraft Welling book "THE HUTCHCRAFTS IN AMERICA. "Our knowledge of the Hutchcraft family history begins in Surrey, England where Thomas, son of James, and Hannah Hazelwood were married in 1725. By 1734 Thomas and Hannah had crossed the ocean to Anne Arundel County, Maryland where they purchased land. Their four children, James, Nannie, Catia and John were born there" "Page from Thomas Hutchcraft Family Bible Hannah Hutchcraft was Born 10th Nov. 1699 Thos. Hutchcraft was Born June 1696 James Hutchcraft was Born 10 Nov. 1731 Catia Hutchcraft was Born 5th July 1733 Nanny Hutchcraft was Born 8 Sept. 1736 John Hutchcraft was Born 28 Decem. 1739 John Bennett was Born 16Mar. 1740 " [relationship of this person to family is not known] author remark" " Thomas Hutchcraft, son of James Hutchcraft, was born June 1696 in ENG, and married 28 May 1725 in Kingston-on-Tims, Surrey, ENG, Hannah Haselwood who was born 10 Nov. 1699 in ENG. Thomas died before Feb. 1771 in Anne Arundel Co., MD. and was buried before Feb 1771 in Anne Arundel Co.MD. Hannah died before Sep 1767 in Anne Arundel Co., MD and was buried before Sep 1767 in Anne Arundel Co, MD" I checked the index of names in the book and there is no UPCHURCH listed, but thought perhaps you might be interested in the information..
