I've worked hard over the years on the descendants of Thomas Hutchins (1753-1843) who came from Wake Co. and settled in Rutherford Co. NC. The descendants of course spread through several places, but those who recognize the name should be pleased. I hope that this really helps us all work together on these families. Rutherford, Wake, Yancey, Mitchell and Cleveland are some of the most populated counties with descendants in them as well as Washington Co. TN and Clay Co. KY, but again, they've spread far and wide.
