Hutchins Burton was the third, or possibly fourth son, born to Robert Burton and his wife Mary Nowell of Longfield Plantation, Virginia Colony.
Hutchins married Susanna Allen, d/o Samuel Allen Jr, 31 Mar 1719 at St Peters Parish, New Kent, Virginia Colony. Together they were parents to the following eleven children, all born in Henrico County, Virginia:
- Samuel Burton, named after grandfather Samuel Allen, b.1719
- Richard Burton b.1722; d.1779
- Hutchins Burton b.1723
- David Burton b.1725; d.1757
- William Allen Burton, named after Susanna's family,b.1727; d.1773
- Noel Burton b.1729
- Anne Burton b.1731
- Charles Burton b.1734
- Robert Burton b.1736
- Susanna Burton b.1738; d.1815
- Julius Burton b.~1739
Hutchins Burton owned at least 2500 acres of land in Henrico and Cumberland counties --the evidence of a fairly successful life for a planter of his day. Like generations before him, he grew tobacco, a highly lucrative industry in Colonial Virginia. He was what was known as a practical man. He did not "waste time in public service. He was a road surveyor in 1719, 1735 and 1741. Constable from 1737 to 1741, served on a jury 1738 and on the grand jury in 1746 (Henrico Order books). His life was spent in acquiring land, working it, and seating his nine sons on their own estates
Hutchins died in Henrico in September of 1763. His original will is
found among the loose leaf papers in the State Library at Richmond.
An abstract of his will follows:
"Hutchins Burton of the county of Henrico County, Virginia Colony

HUTCHINS (X) BURTON."
Date, May 9, 1763. Probated October 3, 1763. It can be safely assumed that Hutchins' death date was sometime in September, as it was the practice to probate estate's within 30 days of death.
His son David died before testator and is not mentioned in the will.
