Marriage Jane Dickson married John Hutton, son of Edward Hutton.2 
Residence  The couple were members of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church in York County. Their eldest child, daughter Eleanor, was christened in the church on 1 Nov. 1761 and John served on the church vestry in 1761, 62 and 1770. He also appeared in York County tax rolls from 1762 through the early 1780s.3,4 
Migration  In the early to mid 1780s John, Jane and their children migrated south into Washington County, Virginia. This was a migration pattern followed by many of their York Co. neighbors. John's brother James and his family also made the move.  
Land-Buy  John first settled the family on 106 acres of land he acquired from Humphrey Baker in May 1786 on Stalnaker's Creek [the creek is now known as Hutton Creek]. Two years later he purchased the rest of Baker's 430 acre tract. John was granted 2 neighboring tracts by patent in December 1792. One parcel totaled 50 acres; the other 129 acres.5,6,7,8 
Land-Sell  John and Jane did not keep the majority of their 430 acre Hutton Creek tract. In Jan. 1790 they sold 152 acres from the northern end to William Dixon [Jane's brother] for 200 pounds. Four years later John divided the remaining land into 3 parcels. He and Jane sold two of them to John and Edward Hutton [their sons]. They kept the third parcel. John and Jane sold their adjoining 129 acre tract to Leonard Hutton.9,10 [also their son] 
Land-Buy20 Oct 1795  However John was not finished helping his sons settle on their own land. On 20 Oct. 1795 John purchased 177 acres on Indian River from George and Margaret Gamble. As opposed to his Hutton Creek land, which sat slightly northeast of present day Glade Spring, the Indian River land sat to it's southwest. John's Indian River land sat near acreage his brother James purchased in 1785.11 
  John and Jane's son Leonard sold his 129 acres on Hutton Creek to his brother James on 21 March 1797 for $1. 
Land-Sell17 Aug 1797  Six months later John and Jean [Jane] sold their 177 acres on Indian Run to Leonard.12 
Land-Sell10 Oct 1797  They also sold William Dixon a small 27 acre tract of John's 50 acre Hutton Creek patent that had not been included in John's previous sales to his sons.13
