    3. Hello, I have just joined this List. I am trying to find out if there are any descendants of John B. HUTCHINSON and his 2 married sisters, still living in Brooklyn, or in Kings County. I am trying to find out more specifically if there are any male descendants still living - who would be descended from Thomas and Betsey (HOMER) HUTCHFINSON living on the large HUTCHINSON Farm in Winchester, MA. The 2 married sisters were: William and Elizabeth DODGE and Gardner and Adeline SYMMES, who might have arrived in Brooklyn, first. The 3 couples seem to have been merchants or wholesale dealers in Brooklyn for most of the 1850 to 1900 timeframe. I can find some information about the couples in census information, but only from 1860 to 1880. There could have been 2 sons of John still living in Brooklyn in 1900: Edward and Effie HUTCHINSON, with a son, John B., Age 20. And, possibly John W. and Gertrude HUTCHINSON. (I don't know if they had children.) John and Ruthy (WYMAN) HUTCHINSON were 65 and 64 and were alive in the 1880 census. (I sure wish the 1890 census was available.) I cannot find them in the 1900 census. I suppose they could have died during the 1890's. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: I've belonged to the Brooklyn List for at least 4 years. I have posted queries there on this family, and about my EX's extended family which lived in the Bay Ridge neighborhood from about 1900 to about 1970. 723 59th Street, Brooklyn FREDERICKS and McCARTHY couple
