HUTCHESON, JAMES C.
James C. Hutcheson has been identified with agricultural pursuits throughout nearly his entire active business life, and he now owns a valuable homestead adjoining Springtown. He was born in Meigs county, eastern Tennessee, June 9, 1839, a son of Charles and Sarah (Worthington) Hutcheson, both of whom were born in Bledsoe county, Tennessee, the father in 1807 and the mother on January 5, 1809. They were married in their native county of Bledsoe, and the six children born of their union are: Mrs. M. A. Schoolfield, living in Arkansas; William L., of Springtown; Samuel W. and Charles N., both of whom died in Tennessee; James C. and Alfred L., both living in Springtown. After the father's death in 1842 the mother married Burton Hohman, and there were four children of that marriage: Murphy L. and Robert A., who died in Tennessee; Mrs. Coulter, living in that state; and Washington N., also of Tennessee. The mother died on the 27th of September, 1895.
After some years of farming in Tennessee, James C. Hutcheson came to Texas, arriving in Tarrant County on the 6th of November, 1872, but after a year there he returned to Tennessee, although he came again to Texas in December of 1877, this time locating in Parker county, a mile and a half south of Springtown. After ten years he sold his farm there and moved to the farm he had purchased in the meantime, a valuable tract of sixty acres adjoining the village, where he has ever since made his home, and he also owns one hundred and ninety acres about one mile from Springtown. From 1884 until 1888 he was engaged in the grocery business in that village, and then for two years he conducted a hardware and implement store at Weatherford, selling that business then to his son, M. B. Hutcheson, and returning to the farm, and with the exception of this short period of commercial life agriculture has been his life's occupation. In August of 1863, Mr. Hutcheson enlisted in Company G, Third Tennessee Cavalry, Federal army, and he continued as a Civil war soldier for nearly three years, or until mustered out of service. He has served six years as commander of Burnside Post, No. 56, G. A. R., of Springtown.
On the 23d of October, 1860, he was married to Harriet A. Runyan, who was born in Hamilton County, Tennessee, November 25, 1841, a daughter of William and Malinda (Murray) Runyan, both also born in that state. Mrs. Hutchison died on the 20th of November, 1891, and on the 5th of January, 1896, Mr. Hutcheson married Mary J. (Crysup) Peterson, who was born in Cass county, Texas, July 26, 1854, a daughter of William and Jane (Haas) Crysup. Mr. Hutcheson was made a Master Mason in Limestone Lodge at Georgetown, Tennessee, in 1869, and he is now a member of Eureka Lodge No. 371, A. F. & A. M., and of Springtown Lodge No. 75, R. A. M. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Church at Springtown. (A History of Central and Western Texas, Vol 1, Captain B. B. Paddock, The Lewis Publishing Company, New York, 1911 )
