Commemorative Biographical Record of Prominent and Representative Men of Indianapolis and Vicinity: Containing Biographical Sketches of Business and Professional Men and of Many of the Early Settled Families
J. H. Beers & Company, 1908 - Indianapolis (Ind.) - 1244 pages
Francis Hutchings, his father, was born in Maryland, but was reared in Virginia, where he married Elizabeth Turner, a member of an old Virginia family. Soon after their marriage they removed to Kentucky, where their first child, Bushrod, was born in 1812. A few years later they entered what was then the Territory of Indiana, where, in Clark county, Mr. Hutchings cleared a farm; later, however, they removed to Hendricks county, where they spent the rest of their lives on a farm, Mr. Hutchings passing away in his sixty-sixth year. His widow long survived, and died at the age of ninety-two. Mr. Hutchings was a man of high character, and though born and reared in a slave community, was a Whig, and a pronounced opponent of slavery as a great moral wrong. In religion both he and his wife were members of the Baptist Church in their later days, and still later were members of the Christian Church. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Hutchings were the parents of fourteen children, the last two survivors having been Dalphon; and Mrs. Lucinda Robeson, of Iowa, who died in 1903.
