• Notes

  1726 Aug 18, Andrew Hutchinson received his land grant of 1119 acres and 40 perches in Stafford Co., VA, (now Fairfax Co., VA), from the Rt. Hon. Thomas, 6th Lord Fairfax, who was proprietary agent for King George III of England at the time. Andrew was a Justice of the Peace from 1745 to 1757, a tobacco farmer, tobacco inspector and a surveyor. In 1744 he was appointed a Vestryman of Truro Parish. His records as Vestryman can be found in Pohick, the central church for the Parish. While serving in that position, he deeded land for the building of Rocky Run Church. They couldn’t find water on this land so it was deeded back to him and the church was built on land belonging to his neighbor, Willouby Newton, another prominent landholder in the Centreville area. During the 1740’s and ‘50’s, Andrew Hutchinson bought an additional 1000 acres of land in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties which he deeded to his sons, Joseph and Benjamin. Before his death in 1760, Andrew Hutchinson divided his original land grant of 1119 acres and 40 perches among his other 3 sons, John Hutchinson, Daniel Hutchinson and Jeremiah Hutchinson. The John Hutchison House at Pleasant Valley, VA, sits on the portion deeded to John. Jeremiah Hutchinson’s portion is now part of the Pleasant Valley Estates subdivision. The last family to live in Jeremiah Hutchinson’s house was Andrew’s great-grandson, Joshua Hutchison and his family. Joshua died in 1931. Both of these houses have been restored. He documents his and Jane's children in Bible Records, carrying the date of MDCCXXXVIII, (1738) and published by the Oxford Company, John Baskett. Family legend states that Andrew and Jane gave each of their children a bible in which the names and birth dates of their children were written. Andrew’s personal bible, printed in 1591, was last known to have been in the possession of Rev. Melvin Lee Steadman of Purcellville, VA. He was a Methodist minister, genealogist, historian and author. He also collected old Bibles. He told Wanda Kirpatrick that Mrs. Harry Padgett of Pleasant Valley, VA, gave Andrew’s Bible to him. She was the g-g-granddaughter of Andrew’s son, Jeremiah. from message boad post: Within days of Richard Omohundros (Jos. Pinson's father in law) penning his will in 1745 Fairfax Co,Peter Turner's estate was appraised in the same county.The appraisers were Thomas Pinson and Andrew Hutchinson (Hutcheson).Hutchinson was Richard Omohundro's brother in law.They had both married daughters of Thomas Browing of Westmoreland Co. Va. citing Prince William County Northern Neck Warrants and Surveys Thomas Pincent, Junr. 14 Sept. 1739-12 Nov. 1739; 218 a. on s. side Elk Licking Run aganst the fork of Cub Run: adj. Mr. Richd Brett, decd., Mr. Landon Carter, Col Geo Eskridge dec’d.C.C. John Hutcheson & Joseph Pincent.Surv. James Thomas, Junr. John Hutcheson was undoubtedly the son of Andrew Hutcheson above, and therefore first cousin of Joseph Pinson's wife Mary.I'll follow with a brief history of the Prince William/Fairfax Hutchesons later, but for now accept this point. When you were appraising land for purchase (or lease), you would choose someone close to you as chain carrier.It was a serious project and you wanted to enlist someone with your interest at heart.Obviously, Joseph "Pincent" (sic) and Thomas "Pincent" (sic) were related, and Joseph would have been a good choice. While we can prove the point separately, having John Hutcheson as chain carrier makes it plain the variant spelling of Pinson as Pincent was just that.It also indicates the Joseph Pinson who married Mary Omohundro, was the same Joseph Pinson carrying the chains in the above survey.Whether this was the same Thomas Pinson, or a relative (son?) of the one who appraised the Turner estate with Andrew Hutcheson, he would have known the Hutcheson family and would have accepted Joseph Pinson's wife's cousin as a chain carrier. Research done by Hutcheson (Hutchinson) genealogists indicate Andrew Hutchinson was born either in England or Westmoreland Co. Va. in March 1787. His father died when he was just a child, apparently leaving him as his only heir. Hutcheson married Jane Browning, daugher of Thomas Browning and sister of Richard Omohundros first wife Mary Browning. Andrew Hutchinson (Hutcheson) inherited large tracts of land from both his mother and his father in law.One of the two plantations inherited from his father in law according to Browning’s will, (Will Bk 8-1, p. 210), dated 31 Jan 1726, prov. 22 Feb 1726, was “ye plantation whereon ye sd. Andrew Hutchison now lives.” This plantation is believed to have been on or near Rocky Run in the area of Centreville, VA.That would place it right by his brother in law, Richard Omohundro's residence and also very close to the Pinson mill site. Hutchinson later added to his holding with other purchases in Prince William/Fairfax Co.and surrounding counties.Extensive documentation exists through wills and family bibles that prove the names of his wife, children and that he had no natural siblings (only half siblings named Reynolds or Runnells). Hutcheson was a wealthy tobacco grower and prominent member of Virginia society.He was a Justice of the Peace from 1745 to 1757, became a vestryman for Truro Parish (Prince William Co.) and also acted as a surveyor. while a vestryman, While serving as a vestryman, he deeded land for the building of Rocky Run Church, but the land proved unsuitable, and the church was built on land belonging to his neighbor, Willouby Newton.This would be the same Willouby Newton that sublet land to his brother in law, Richard Omohundro.I believe it to be the same Newton who recommended William Grove (see prior post) as the church clerk. Hutchinson is named in numerous road surveys and construction projects.Also named many times in those records is Mary Omohundro Pinson's stepbrother, Jacob Remey.On one occasion, Hutcheson was appointed to hire workers to build a bridge across Cub Run and 4 months later Remey was paid for the job.Looking above you see that Thomas Pinson Jr's land was on Cub Run. Andrew Hutcheson was an only child and migrated to Prince William County.To my knowledge there is no evidence of another Andrew Hutcheson living in the area at the time.He is known to have had a son named John supposedly born March 08, 1711/12.The Andrew and John Hutcheson (Hutchinson) shown above in association with the Pinsons are undoubtedly the uncle and cousin of Mary Omohundro Pinson.
