Surname: HUTCHINS, PETERSON, SYLVESTER
-------------------------

Time to repost and update my HUTCHINS line of research.

1. - Henry HUTCHINS was born about 1770. Henry died in May 1847 in Knox,
Waldo Co., Maine. He married Rhoda PETERSON about 1789. Rhoda was born
in Massachusetts on 7 Oct 1771. "It appears that Rhoda was a daughter of
Abraham and Patience (Baker) Peterson who removed from Duxbury, Plymouth
Co., Massachusetts to Jay, Maine about 1780." Rhoda died on 4 Dec 1858
in Knox, Maine. They are both buried in the East Knox Cemetery, Knox, Maine
with the name HUTCHINGS on their gravestone. His name has been spelled
as HUCHINS, HUTCHINS, HUTCHINGS, and HUTCHINSON in the various records
found.

Henry and Rhoda had at least the following children:

+ i. John Hutchins was born in Mount Vernon, Lincoln Co. [now Kennebec
Co.], Maine on 20 Apr 1792.

ii. Sussannah Hutchins was born in Mount Vernon, Lincoln Co. [now Kennebec
Co.], Maine on 3 Oct 1796. [have not found a documented source] "Joined
in marriage by Wm Hanford Esq. 16 Oct 1814 - Mr. John WITCOMB to Mrs. Susanana
HUTCHINGS - both from this plantation".

+ iii. Sarah "Sally" W. Hutchins was born about 1797. She married Oliver
P. REA on 17 Mar 1821 in Monroe, Waldo Co., Maine. Oliver was born 26 Jun
1795 in Penobscot, Penobscot Co., Maine. They both died in 1873 in Monroe
and are buried in the East Knox cemetery, Knox, Maine.

+ iv. Cyrus Hutchins was born in Mount Vernon, Kennebec Co., Maine on 3
May 1799. Cyrus married Rachel CHANDLER on 16 Apr 1823 in Montville, Waldo
Co., Maine.

Oct 1801. Married to Josiah CHANDLER about 1822.

She was married to Simon Harding BOULTER on 3 Mar 1827 in Knox, Waldo Co.,
Maine.

+ viii. Charles Peterson Hutchins was born in Knox, Waldo Co., Maine on
7 Oct 1815. He married Harriet STEVENS on 23 June 1839 in Monticello, Aroostock
Co., Maine.

2. - John Hutchins (Henry1) was born in Mount Vernon, Kennebec Co., Maine
on 20 Apr1792. John died in April 1818. "He was killed when he cut a tree
holding back a log pile on a riverbank. He fell trying to escape. One record
says it was on the Miramiche River in New Brunswick, Canada. A letter says
it was in the Moosehead Lake, Maine region." [from notes - no documented
source found yet]. He married Roxana Caroline HATCH in Knox, Waldo Co.,
Maine in 1812. Roxana was born 16 March 1795 in Marshfield, Massachusetts.
Roxana was the daughter of Prince HATCH and Hannah PHILLIPS.

John Hutchins and Roxana Caroline Hatch had at least the following children:

i. Caroline Hutchins was born in Knox, Waldo Co., Maine on 30 Jul 1813.

ii. Hannah Hutchins was born in Knox, Maine on 21 Jun 1815. "Married by
Samuel F. Whitten on 3 Dec 1837 - Hannah HUTCHINSON and William SAWYER,
both of Knox, Waldo Co., Maine".

+ iii. John Hutchins was born in Knox, Maine on 24 Feb 1818.

3. - John Hutchins (John2, Henry1) was born in Knox, Maine on 24 Feb 1818.
John died in Freedom, Maine on 9 Aug 1899. He married Sarah Leighton SYLVESTER
in March 1842 in Waldo Co., Maine. Sarah died sometime between 1849 and
1852. After Sarah died, John married Susan Fuller SYLVESTER on 13 Nov 1852
in Freedom, Waldo Co., Maine. Susan was born in Charleston, Maine on 14
Feb 1826. Susan was the daughter of Amos SYLVESTER and Polly FALL. Susan
died on 24 August 1909 in Freedom, Maine.

John and Sarah had the following children: Alvah L. (1843), Eliza (abt
1845), Eleinor (1848), and Eben S.(1849). Sarah apparently died and John
married Susan. They had Albertina (1855), Asahel S. (1856), Charles P.
(1858), Sarah L. (1860), Fred H. (1864), Albina M. (1866), and Fannie M.
B. (1869).

I am looking for more information to fill in the blanks on all the names
mentioned, especially about John HUTCHINS' parents, Sarah SYLVESTER's parents,
what if any relationship existed between Sarah and Susan SYLVESTER, and
where they are buried.

This is a little long and I apologize for the length, but hopefully some
will find it useful. I have much more information on my HUTCHINS line and
am willing to provide my sources for those interested. I can be contacted
at .
