Birth14 May 1860 William Scott Hutton was born on 14 May 1860.3 
Cens-18701870 William grew up in a household consisting of his father, stepmother, siblings and stepsisters in Washington County, Virginia.4 
Cens-StateFeb 1885  William's sister Sarah and her husband Rufus Miller migrated west to the Washington Territory about 1884. It appears that William went with them. He was enumerated as their neighbor on the 1885 Columbia County (Washington) Territorial census.5 
Marriage14 Feb 1888 He married Mary Carson Shugart, daughter of Claiborne Lewis Shugart and Mary Carson Ryburn, on 14 Feb 1888 in Washington County, Virginia.6 
  After their marriage William and Mary returned to the Washington Territory to live. They were recorded in 1889 living in Whitman County with their 1 year old daughter Mary. Mary's brother, Zachariah Shugart and his wife Amanda (Crowe) Shugart had left Virginia in the early 1880s and settled in Idaho. By the late 1880s they had moved to Washington, also settling in Whitman County.7 
  However, William and Mary Hutton must have missed Virginia as they did not settle "out west" permanently. Their second child, Claiborne, was born back in Virginia in the summer of 1890. 
Cens-19007 Jun 1900  William and Mary lived at 23 Mary Street in Bristol, Virginia at the time of the 1900 census enumeration. They had been married 12 years.8 
Cens-191023 Apr 1910  Ten years later they were recorded at the same address. Daughter Mary was employed as a teacher at the public school. M.H. Shugart [Mary's sister Minerva Harriet] was also enumerated in the home where she worked as a seamstress.9 
Cens-19206 Jan 1920 Sometime before January 1920 William and Mary bought a home at 313 Oak Street in Bristol.10
