Hello, I'm thinking about the "HUTCHINSON homestead" in Charlestown / Woburn / Winchester, 1720 to 1880 again. I'm still curious when exactly the bad house fire happened. My great-grandmother's relatives stated in was 1874 or 1883. I recently asked the Woburn Library if there was a way to find an old newspaper article about it. They said they need a specific date to do their research. I just tried Googling "Thomas Hutchinson, Winchester," and came across this Google / Book which might interest someone. A book from 1912 about the descendants of Edmund WINCHESTER arriving 1635. I don't remember the WINCHESTER surname being mentioned before. http://books.google.com/books?id=26dbAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA130-IA3&dq=%22Thomas+Hutchinson+Winchester%22&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false The reason it came up in my search is that the IRELAND surname has a chapter in the book. And, one set of my ancestors was: Thomas HUTCHINSON and Mary IRELAND marrying in 1725 in Cambridge. Just an FYI for you. Betty (near Lowell, MA)
