My first Hutchinson ancestor in Jerseyville was John M. Hutchinson, b. abt 1810 probably in New Jersey. There was also a Susan M. Nelson, maiden name Hutchinson, who moved to the Jerseyville area around the same time as my g-g-g-grandfather John. She was married in Hunterdon County, NJ. John was also married in Hunterdon Co. I believe this to be a possible sister to John. John's son, (my g-g-grandfather William Henry Hutchinson) stated in the Muster Rolls for his regiment that his place of birth was Philadelphia. The name Franklin is also a name found in one (or possibly more) Hutchinson family in the Trenton, NJ area. I think it is highly probable that our Hutchinson's are somehow related. Hope we can figure this out!
