John 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 62-63 [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.] John Hutchinson Settled in Braintree in the fall of 1793, on the farm owned by James P. Cleave- land, Jr. He was a bright, enterprising man, owning a saw mill in addition to his farm, was much respected, was benevolent and never a user of sprite or tobacco in any form, his descendants being equally temperate. He was much in office and was sent thirteen times to the legislature. Submitted by Tina S.
