Spafford W. Hutchinson, son of Amos and Abigail (Ely) Hutchinson, was born February 8, 1825, in Hamilton township, Mercer county, New Jersey, but moved to Windsor township and there attended the public schools. He assisted on his father’s farm until the age of sixteen years. Subsequently he went to Washington township and purchased a mill and learned the trade of a miller. He remained there for forty-eight years. He served as town clerk for a period of ten years. In 1889 he moved from Washington township, where he has since led a retired life. Politically he was a Republican, and in church faith a Presbyterian.
Mr. Hutchinson married Mary Cubberley, children: 1. Elijah C., married Ella Stults, children: Harvey, Raymond, Spafford W. and Stanley. 2. Cornelia, married Allison E. Dey, children: Elmer, married Grace Morris, Frank and Beatrice, Mary Cubberley, wife of Spafford W. Hutchinson, was the daughter of Elijah and Elizabeth (Voorhees) Cubberley.

Spafford Woodhoff Hutchinson, son of Amos and Abigail (Ely) Hutchinson.

Contributed by Joseph R. Klett:
Not sure where "Woodhoff" might have come from. The middle name is Woodhull. Spafford and many others in the area at this time were named for the Presbyterian minister and church leader, Rev. George Spafford Woodhull. He and his family were associated with the churches in Freehold, Princeton, and Middletown Point, as well as Princeton Seminary. His mother was a stepdaughter of Rev. Gilbert Tennent, so there is also that connection to Old Tennent Church.
Spafford's descendants through his grandson Spafford have carried the name forward to the present. I'm in touch with Spafford Woodhull Hutchinson III, who is a third cousin of mine through the Everett family and more distantly related through Hutchinson/Tindall.
