The Kentucky records of the Hutcheson in Hopkins County are
sparse but, are quoted with some comments to reflect on their
beginnings. Deed Book 3, page 42, Oct. 4, 1820 as recorded July
9, 1821; "George Wolf of Lawrence County and State of Missouri
sells to Richard C. Hutcheson of Hopkins Co., KY for $228; 89
acres on Popular Creek, a head branch of Deer Creek, land
bounded by John Pierson's land, (his land was later in Union
Co., KY after Union Co., was formed). Samuel Compton's corner
passing Michael Wolf's corner" attested; John Harvey Jr. and
Thomas A. Compton. The George Wolf here May of 1820 according to
court records here. Nancy's brother, Reverand John Wolf was to
conduct a memorial service for Polly Pierson, a member of Major
Wolf's household in 1859, and possibly of this Pierson family.
It appears from this and subsequent land transactions that the
Hutchesons did not depart KY with the Wolf-Adams clans in the
1818-1820 time frame. The "Harvey" name appears with the
Hutcheson name later on in AR. The connections to these Harveys
are not known.
Deed Book 9, page 245, February 13, 1840: "Richard C. Hutcherson
of the county of Izard, State of AR, sells to Thomas Hobgood of
Hopkins Co., for $200, 89 acres on Popular Creek, branch of Deer
Creek and bounded by John Pierson". This 89 acres is the same
acreage that Richard bought from George Wolf in 1820 for $228.
The Hutcheson family was in our area(AR) according to our tax
and census records as early as 1824.
Deed Book 4, page 66, April 4, 1822: "Richard C. Hutchison and
Nancy Hutchison his wife, sell to Howel B. Cox, all of Hopkins
Co., KY, for (do not know what this price is as one character in
the amount is missing) $?35, 50 acres on Bull Creek, a branch of
CrabOrchard Fort of Tradewater River. Nancy relinquishes her
dower in said land. Recorded April 8, 1822.
Deed Book 7: "Thomas Hutcherson of Lunenberg Co., VA, appoints
Dabney Brown as his attorney to collect from the estate of my
brother, John Hutcherson, deceased. The administrator, John
Crow, March 6, 1834. Witness John Harvey, Produced to me, the
said county clerk on this day March 6, 1834, by Thomas
Hutcherson". The Arkansas/Kentucky Hutchesons may have been from
Lunenberg Co., VA.
Deed Book 8, page 385, March 3, 1834: "This indenture made March
3, 1834 between Richard C. Hutcherson, Thomas Hutcherson, John
Crow and Nancy Crow his wife, Thomas Compton and Martha H., his
wife, Dabney Brown and Elizabeth, his wife, all heirs of John
Hutcherson, deceased, sell to Walter Cates, all of Hopkins
County for $286, 100 acres". From the deed books you can see
that John and Thomas were brothers but we do not know the
relationship of 'Richard' other than he was an heir and that
they were neighbors. Richard was in AR before 1824. The 1830
census, signed by Nancy's brother Major Wolf, does not show the
children's names. It does show one male under 5, 4 females under
5 and 3 females 5-10 years of age. This was certainly a young
and growing family with lots of daughters.
Commissioned 1st Lt. 12 May 1827 in
Independence County, Arkansas Territory. He received 80 acres of
AR land warrant #15631 for service as Pvt. in Capt Pools Co. 98
Reg, VA Militia, War of 1812. Nancy and Richard are thought to
be buried in the family cemetery located on part of their
acreage above the river mark and it is known that in 1902 Samuel
S. Hutcheson son of John Wm. Hutcheson was buried there. He
would have been a grandson to Nancy and Richard.
Drucilla, Samuel and Minnie were minors under 14 cited in a suit
following their father's death (1863)
Richard and Nancy Hutcheson names appear on many land documents
in AR showing that they had extensive land holding along the
fertile White River. The family cemetery is located on part of
their acreage above the river high water mark and was used as
late as 1902 when Samuel S. Hutcheson (John W, Richard C) was
buried. This graveyard, now grown up and long abandoned, is
thought to be the final resting place of Nancy and Richard,
although practically all grave markers found to date are without
inscription.
The 1850 census for Richard C. Hutcheson, household 297, North
Fork Township gives the following information: Richa C.
Hutcheson, 58; Polly (McCubben), 34 wife; Cinderella, 20; Susan,
19 - attending school; Michael, 16; John, 15; Nancy F., 13;
Margaret, 12; Richard, 11 - all listed as attending school;
George, 8.
Missing children known to us and probably married are: Pernetta
C. who was born about 1822 and married A.B. Hawkins and then
Fielding Herron; Elizabeth D. who was born about 1823 and
married William Pugh; Olizary Lucinda who was born Nov. 17, 1824
and died Feb 4, 1891, and married Henry W. Bandy and then Capt.
S. J. McGuffin. According to Nancy Wolf Hutcheson's 1844
obituary, there were 14 surviving children. The hour and one
half old child is known to be George who is shown as 8 years old
on the 1850 census. So there are 3 children not accounted for in
the time period 1844 to 1850.
Religious affiliation of the Hutchesons appear to have been with
the Baptist, in the early states. The family is mentioned as
being in the Big Camp Meeting of the Missionary Baptist Church
in 1843 which as upriver from their home. Then there are many
Methodists in the family also.
The North Fork store accounts of 1850-1853 show that Richard and
his second wife Polly traded there.
Several of the males in this family served in the CSA.

Richard Hutcheson received 80 acers of Ar land, warrant # 15631;
"for service as Pvt. in Capt. Fools Co. 98th Regmt., VA Militia,
War of 1812". This land was in the S.W. Qtr. of section 17 T.18,
R12, on the left bank of the White River and on the opposite
side of the River from his and Nancy's homestead. We do not know
when they homesteaded on the right bank of the White River, but
it had to be on or after 1828 as that was the year that the
Cherokees relinquished their land and moved west. Their
neighbors on the right bank were Peter F. Adams and Matthew
Adams.
