Surname: Recorded as 'Hutchenson' in Salem VR.

He settled on a portion of his father's farm, and at his decease he was in
possession of about 650 acres of land. He and his brother Joseph, prior
to Mch., 1672, had erected a saw mill on Beaver Dam. A road being laid
out from their father's house to said Dam, a complaint was preferred
against them for obstructing the way, but there is no further record to
show how the affair terminated. (Derby, p. 10)

Inventory of John's estate was taken 2 Aug 1676. (Chester, p. 24)

His estate was valued at £273, 5s, 6d [at the time of his death]. (Derby,
p. 10) [Also, see below for a more detailed inventory of his estate.]

Sarah, widow and administratrix of her husband John Hutchenson's
estate, petition to the court, dated Jan. 29, 1676, for a division of the
estate between herself and her child, that is, that the child should have
one-halfe of the land when she becomes of age, as may appear by two
deeds given by her father and father-in-law, and that at said Sarah's
decease she should have as much of the other halfe as to give her
two-thirds of the whole; that the rest of the estate be for Sarah's own
use, the child to have a feather-bed when of age. Her father Putnam and
father Hutchinson witnessed and consented to this agreement.

Witness to their consent: James Bayley, Jonathan Putnam.

Court Mar. 27, 1677, allowed this distriburion, Sarah to bring up the
child until she reached the age of eighteen or marriage. (Essex County
