Edward Hutton
b. 13 August 1772, d. 8 October 1839
Father | John Hutton1,2,3 b. 22 Jan 1736, d. bef 20 Jun 1809 |
Mother | Jane Dickson1 d. bef 23 Feb 1808 |
Birth | 13 Aug 1772 | Edward Hutton was born on 13 Aug 1772 in Pennsylvania.1 |
Migration | Edward's father, John Hutton, moved his family from Tyrone township in York County, Pennsylvania, to Washington County, Virginia in the mid 1780s, probably around 1785.4 | |
Beginning in the spring of 1786 John Hutton acquired a large tract of land on what was then known as Stalnaker's (later Baker and Thompson, now Hutton) Creek. | ||
Marriage | before 3 Apr 1794 | Edward married first Frances Hayter, daughter of Abraham Hayter, before 3 Apr 1794 in Washington County, Virginia.5,6 |
Land-Buy | 18 Feb 1794 | On February 18th, 1794 John sold 3 of his sons, including Edward, a portion of this land. Edward received 134 acres for which he paid his father 30 pounds.7 |
Cens-1810 | 1810 | The 1810 census listed the following members of Edward's household: 2 males 0-9; 2 males 10-15; 1 male 26-44 [/Edward]; 1 female 0-9; 1 female 10-15; 1 female 16-25 and 1 female 26-44 [Frances]. The household also included 3 slaves.8 |
Cens-1820 | 1820 | Frances appears to have died prior to 1820 as no female of an appropriate age is listed in Edward's 1820 household. The census entry indicates an additional daughter may have been born after 1810. One older daughter was still at home, as were 2 sons. The full enumeration includes: 1 male 16-18; 2 males 16-25 [incudes 1 male from 16-18 column]; 1 male 45+; 1 female 0-9; 1 female 10-15, and four slaves.9 |
Land-Buy | 24 Sep 1820 | Edward expanded his holdings in Washington County in 1820. He purchased 153 acres encompassing much of present day Glade Spring from James and Esther Beattie for $1,500.10 |
Marriage | 25 Sep 1824 | At the age of fifty-two, on 25 Sep 1824, Edward Hutton married Sarah Porterfield, daughter of John Porterfield and Elizabeth Kincannon. She was thirty-seven.11 |
Land-Sell | 1830 | Edward and Sarah lived on Edward's tract on Hutton Creek; it appears Edward's son John lived on the land Edward purchased from James Beattie. When Edward and Sarah sold that tract to William B. Allison for $1,340 on Oct. 11, 1830, the deed noted that "John Hutton, son of Edward, resided on the land."12 |
Cens-1830 | 1830 | Edward and Sarah's 1830 household included 2 males under 5 which would indicate the presence of their young sons Arthur and Francis. Besides Edward [50-59] and Sarah [40-49], the household included a female age 20-29.13 [an unmarried daughter from Edward's first marriage??] |
Widowed | 8 Jul 1839 | Sarah died on July 8, 1839. |
Will | 30 Jul 1839 | Three weeks later Edward wrote a will leaving the bulk of his estate, including the "plantation" on which he lived, to the couple's sons Francis and Arthur, noting that he had already left his sons John and Edward, and his daughter Susannah Bishop all that he intended to. He left the children of his daughter Jane Hubble $400, his granddaughter Fanny Hutton $400, and his daughter Polly Buchanan $350. Edward appointed "his friend" James Porterfield as his executor.14 |
Death | 8 Oct 1839 | Edward died on 8 Oct 1839 in Washington County, Virginia, at age 67.15 |
Will-Recd | 28 Oct 1839 | His will was recorded on 28 Oct 1839.16 |
Religion | Edward was an ardent member of the Presbyterian Church. Though no stone has been identified to mark his grave, he was probably buried at Old Glade Spring Cemetery.17 |

This deed, dated 8 Nov. 1810 and recorded 21 Nov. 1810, contained a release of interest in 15 acres of land signed by 8 of John Hutton's children (and/or their husbands) in favor of their brother Leonard. John Hutton purchased a tract of land in 1795 from George Gamble and then sold it to Leonard in 1797. Later it was discovered that the original surveyor mistakenly omitted a 15 acre section of the tract from his survey.

Entry states that Edward was the son of Edward and Ellen Heighter [sic] Hutton of Virginia and that the elder Edward was the son of John Hutton who migrated from Pennsylvania to Virginia following his marriage. The entry lists the children of Edward and Ellen as: John, Abraham, William, Edward, Mary A. and Francis.

Mr. Ford also noted that Descendants of John Simmons: 482 includes an entry from the records of Christ Church in Huntington Township (York, now Adams Co. PA) establishing that John Hutton of that parish moved to the Holstein in the State of Virignia.
- [S2390] William R. Wheeler, Minister's Returns 1785-1832 Washington Co., Virginia Vol. 1A, p. 20-21. The Edward Hutton to Frances Haytor marriage was entered on Rev. Nicholas Reagan's first list of marriages submitted to the Washington County Clerks on June 17, 1794. None of the almost 100 marriages on the list were dated. Therefore it is impossible to determine when Edward and Frances married from this record. Rev. Reagan was licensed to perform marriages in April 1788. The second list he submitted to the clerk included marriages beginning 3 April 1794. Therefore marriages on the first list probably occured between those two dates.
