   HUTCHINSON WALKER farmer, P.O. Hatboro, Pa. This 
gentleman's ancestors came from England at the same time as 
William Penn. There were three brothers, one settling in 
Chester county, one going to Maryland, and the third buying 
three hundred acres of land in what is now Solebury 
township. On this tract his descendants have lived for many 
years. The great-grandfather of Hutchinson was Robert 
Walker. He was born August 5, 1731, and was married to Mary 
Linton January 8, 1761, and afterward to Asenath Beans. He 
died October 22, 1806, his wife surviving until 1831. His 
son, Benjamin, the grandfather of our subject, was born 
March 12, 1779, his son Robert being the father of 
Hutchinson. He was born February 9, 1810, on the old 
homestead which his father had inherited. Three years after 
his marriage he removed to a farm he had bought in 
Buckingham township, and stayed there nine years, when he 
sold it and rented a farm for two years in Northampton, then 
removing to the farm in this township where his family now 
lives. He died February 5, 1878. Like his ancestors he was 
a member of the Society of Friends, and was one of the 
overseers of the meeting at Warminster. On March 11, 1841, 
he was married to Rebecca C. Hutchinson, daughter of Thomas 
T. and Esther Hutchinson, of Northampton township. She was 
born June 8, 1818, and is now living. To their union six 
children were born: Esther, Hutchinson, Sarah Ann, Mary, 
David and Hannah. Our subject was born March 14, 1844. He 
has always made farming his occupation, and worked for his 
father until the latter's death, since which time he has 
carried on the home farm in this township. On January 10, 
1878, he married Catherine S., daughter of Cyrus and 
Margaret Cadwallader, of Newtown township. She was born 
November 28, 1847, and they have had six children: Margaret 
R., Arthur M. and Thomas C., living; and Robert M., Maud and 
Mabel, deceased. He is a member of the Neshaminy lodge, No. 
160, Improved Order of Red Men, and of Hatboro lodge, No. 
206, A. O. U. W., and belongs to the Society of Friends.
