Hello, There were many HUTCHINSON patriarchs in MA, and the one I am descended from is George HUTCHINSON who arrived with his brother, Thomas, in ~1630. (Thomas died upon arrival.) The only known son of George is Nathaniel HUTCHINSON, b1633? in Charlestown ! Coming down a few years through Nathaniel's son, Samuel, b1672 (m. Sarah FASCITT), to Samuel's son, Thomas, b1702 (m. Mary IRELAND), to Thomas' son, John, b1745 (m. Sarah FROST), we come to John's son, Thomas M. HUTCHINSON, b1784, who married Elizabeth "Betsey" HOMER in 1813 in West Cambridge, MA. (now Arlington). Within the past few days, I've been reminded that many researchers disagree about the HUTCHINSON families who either lived or married in Cambridge, MA (or Charlestown, MA). I have the "History of Arlington" and it mentions the marriages of a Thomas HUTCHINSON and Betsey HOMER in 1813. And, it mentions the marriage of a Thomas HUTCHINSON and Betsey BLACKINGTON in 1823. But, it does not say whether they are the same person ! Some people believe that Mrs. Betsey HUTCHINSON died around 1822, possibly in childbirth, and then Thomas M. HUTCHINSON remarried to Betsey BLACKINGTON, and had an additional son, Thomas Kittridge HUTCHINSON, in 1824. (Thomas and Betsey (HOMER) HUTCHINSON had either 6 or 7 children, including sons, John, b~1815, Thomas O., b1817, and my ancestor, Jacob Homer, b1818, who married Eliza Ann CROSBY, daughter of John CROSBY of West Cambridge, MA.) But, some people believe that Betsey BLACKINGTON married the Thomas HUTCHINSON, b1800 in Lyndeboro, NH. This Thomas was the son of Thomas b1753 in Andover, MA, and was descended from Richard HUTCHINSON of 1600's Salem and Danvers, MA. In addition, there was a 3rd marriage which is questioned: Some say that Thomas HUTCHINSON, b1800 NH, had a second wife, Lavina PAGE (Lavinia PAIGE??). But, some say that Lavina PAGE was the 3rd wife of Thomas HUTCHINSON, b1784 MA. I was just wondering if there are other opinions on the subject ! .... Also, I've had an opportunity to review my sister's notes on our HUTCHINSON (and CROSBY) extended family tree ! And, I'd like to mention that "Betsey" HOMER, b1786 MA, seems to have been the daughter of (Capt.) Jacob HOMER, b1764 Boston, MA, and his wife, Elizabeth LORING, b1766 Boston, MA. However, Jacob and Elizabeth HOMER were married in Feb. 1786, and Jacob reportedly "died at sea" during 1786. So, it appears that Elizabeth "Betsey" HOMER was their only child ! (I have not had time to find out if Mrs. Elizabeth HOMER ever remarried ! See seems to have died in Belmont, MA, in 1851.) (Capt.) Jacob HOMER seems to have been descended from John HOMER, who arrived in Boston ~1690 from London, England. The "History of Arlington" mentions the marriage of Betsey HOMER to Thomas HUTCHINSON, of Charlestown, in 1813. But, it also mentions the marriage of an Elizabeth HOMER, of Boston, to a John WINNECK, in 1788. It also mentions an Eleazer HOMER, who had sons, Alfred and Orlando, and a William HOMER who had daughters, Adeline, Mary, Maria, and son, William. (As per my posting a few days ago, the WELLINGTON and HOMER families were interconnected in that area. For instance, I had mentioned the obituary of Horace HOMER, who was a son of William HOMER and Adeline WELLINGTON. Adeline seems to have been one of the many children of Jeduthun WELLINGTON and Susannah ______. Mrs. Susannah WELLINGTON died in 1802, and in 1803 he married Elizabeth WINNECK.) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. As I've mentioned before, during the 1940's, my family moved into one of the HUTCHINSON Farmhouses in Winchester, which had been inherited by my father's grandmother. But, Winchester didn't become a town until ~1850, until then it was part of Woburn, I believe. So, even though this line of HUTCHINSON men was of Charlestown in the 1600's and Woburn in the 1700's, some of the land remained in HUTCHINSON hands - throughout ! And, I believe that the HUTCHINSON's in my line were also known to have been in Charlestown and Cambridge.
