BirthCircacirca 1830 Mahlon Hutton was born in Virginia circa 1830.1 
Cens-185017 Sep 1850  He was the youngest child in a very large family. In 1850 Mahlon and [his sister] Elizabeth were the only two left at home in Smyth County, Virginia with Leonard (77) and Nancy (61).1

Military14 May 1862  Mahlon enlisted in Company F. of the 23rd Virginia Battalion on May 14th at Marion in Smyth County. He appeared on all muster rolls with his company through June 1863. The muster rolls for the rest of 1863 and early 1864 note that he was sick at home in Smyth Co. He was apparently a patient at Breckenridge Hospital in Marion where a receipt shows he was issued clothing on Oct. 8th, 1864. Several days later he was noted as absent from the hospital.3

Death3 Aug 1870  One week after the census taker's visit, on 3 Aug 1870, Mahlon died of typhoid fever.2 

Research Comment:

In July 1854 Mahlon's father, Leonard Hutton, executed a deed of trust to Vincent Morgan to secure a note held by John T. Johnston against Leonard Hutton for $783. Leonard apparently defaulted on the deed as Vincent Morgan sold the land in July 1857 to David Hutton. However, a second deed, whereby Morgan bound himself to execute a deed for the land once it was paid for, stated that it was sold to David Hutton and Mahlon Hutton. The property, described as the land on which Leonard Hutton Sr. lived, included 3 parcels: 69 acres Leonard purchased from John M. Townsend, 30 acres purchased from the same, and 106 acres Leonard purchased from Samuel Williams dec'd.
