Most of the following Hutchinson family information has been researched and generously shared by Richard S. Hutchinson.
Isaac H. Hutchinson was the eldest child of Revolutionary War veteran, James I. Hutchinson and Sarah Tindall, of Assinpink, Middlesex County, New Jersey, at the time, but now, Mercer County, New Jersey. Isaac was occupied with both farming and the millwright business with his father during his formative years. In about 1798, Isaac traveled on foot from New Jersey to the area of Pennsylvania near Hopwood, following footpaths and army roads, including Braddock's Road which ended in the area of Fort Necessity in the immediate area. Isaac at first lived with Uriah Springer and then settled near what is now Uniontown.
Isaac married Margaret Thorpe of the highly respected family of Thorpes which had earlier lived in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. They were married on April 10, 1804 when Isaac was 26 and Margaret was 19. Isaac was a millwright and a miller, belonged to the Baptist church; was an old-line Whig and enjoyed the confidence of his neighbors.
Isaac established a mill on Laurel Run in the early 1800's, according to Ellis in his book, The History of Fayette County, PA. According to records maintained in the Fayette County Court House in Uniontown, PA, Isaac purchased land in 1810. A deed dated the 17th of January in 1810, shows Isaac Hutchinson of Saltlick Township, Fayette County, purchased three and a quarter acres of land in Woodstock, Union Township, Fayette County, from Phillip Summers and his wife Mary, for $250.
In 1826, Isaac purchased the mills on the headwaters of the Redstone Creek together with a stone house and farm consisting of 255 acres. Owing to the fact that the stone house was only partially built when Isaac purchased the property, he built a log cabin on the opposite side of the road which leads from Fairchance to Hopwood, until the stone house was completed.
The vicinity around the mill became known as Hutchinson's Mill, which is today, situated in what is the town of Hopwood, Fayette, PA. However the mill no longer exists. The old mill, of which only the stone foundation and a few timbers of the building remained in 1912, was of the water power type with an overshot wheel. The water was conducted by means of a sluice for about one half mile from a pond which Isaac made after buying the property. Near the site of the old mill is a small spring with the bottom being covered by a cloudy, greasy, substance. This is all that remains of an attempt by Isaac to strike oil by drilling.
A newspaper article in the Fayette City Journal, April 10, 1908, referred to the Hutchinson family as "among the oldest and most respected in the county." The same article went on to say about Isaac H. Hutchinson, "There are many who remember Isaac Hutchinson, who was one of the young and early advocates for the abolition of slavery." Isaac's grandson, Albert Brown Hutchinson was running for treasurer of the county, at the time, which was the occasion for the 1908 piece.
Margaret died on February 4, 1850 at the age of 65. Isaac H. Hutchinson was then married for a second time to Ann Potter in 1855 when he was 77 years old.
