Rachel Hutchins
married on Abt. 1650 in England
married John "of Longfield" BURTON
His wife was not mentioned in his will and may have died previously, date unknown.
∼**Notes to reader--There exists much debate over the name of John Burton's wife. She is widely agreed on as 'Rachel' but her surname has NEVER BEEN PROVEN. There are two names most frequently put forward, Cox and Hutchins, and each of these have facts to support their respective sides. I have included some info below regarding this.
ALSO it has not yet been proven WHERE [within Virginia] Rachel was born, and WHEN is at present an approximation, as is her marriage date. It IS known that she died prior to 12 Feb 1689, the date of her husband's will, in which she is not named.
If you believe you have found record(s) to establish Rachel's birth info and/or parentage, please submit under the 'suggest edits' tab and I will gladly review and publish, if verifiable.
By the date when John Burton acquired the patent for
Longfield (22 March 1666) he had already been married for at least
thirteen years, since his eldest daughter [Mary, b.1652] married about 1668.
The last name of John Burton's wife is unknown; it is not improbable that the marriage took place in Charles City County, before he moved up-river to Henrico. On the plantation of Longfield they brought up a family of four sons and three daughters, all born at Longfield Plantation, Henrico County, Virginia Colony.
- Mary Burton b.1652; m. 1 John Davis, 2 Wm Glovers; d.Aft. 22 Dec 1691
- Benjamin Burton b.1654; d.1687
- John Burton b.1656; d.1680
- Rachel Burton b.~1658
- Robert Burton b.~1660; d.1724
- Anne Burton b.~1662
- William Burton 'of the Level' b.1666; d.1751
The destruction of Henrico records prior to 1677 leaves us
with very meagre information about the life of John Burton or his wife.
From the land records and from frequent association of the
two families, we may "place" the wife of John Burton as
a Cox. This however, is mere surmise.
John Button's will dated February 12, 1689, probated April I, 1660. (Henrico wills bk v:115)
"unto my son Robert Burton .. my land and plantation

I have in my new chest (to witt) 20 Ells Dowlas, 7 yards

It will be noted that his wife had died before John Burton
of Longfield, since she is not mentioned in his will.
