James Hutchinson: Personal Sketches The History of Braintree, Vermont Including A Memorial of Families that have resided in Town. By H. Royce Bass Rutland, VT: Tuttle & Co., State Printers. 1883 page 63 [While preference has been given to sketches of early settlers, yet no one has been denied a place, of whom the requisite facts for personal mention have been given us. It is desirable that this department be made as full as possible; but we have been wholly dependent on others for the necessary data, and because these have not been given, is the reason why many names do not appear.] James Hutchinson Lived much of the time in Randolph, but for many years had considerable business interest in Braintree, owning at one time a large part of the real estate in Peth and vicinity, comprising now three or four good farms in Braintree and Randolph; also, an oil mill at Peth whereby he carried on quite an exten- sive traffic. In his early manhood he worked his farm (where Lyman Hut- chinson now lives) and mill with the aid of one man for regular help, he working on the farm from four in the morning till noon, then in the mill till midnight, while his help rested, thus keeping the mill running constantly. He was a man of great endurance, a hard worker, and honest in his deal. Possessed of good judgment, he acquired a large property which he had the pleasure of dividing among his children.
