Edward Hutchinson

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: Abt 28 May 1613

Notes:

He came to New England in 1633, a year before his parents, along with the Rev. John Cotton and his uncle Edward Hutchinson. Shortly thereafter he returned to England, where he married Katherine Hamby. Upon returning to New England he supported his mother in the Antinomian controversy, for which he was disarmed; he then followed his family to Rhode Island, where he was one of the signers of the Portsmouth Compact, 7 Mar 1638. In 1642 he and John Leverett were sent on an embassy to the Narraganset.

"His name appears in the roll of freemen at Newport in 1641, but he seems to have retained his connection with Boston, for all his children were baptized there from 1637 to 1658. He probably returned there after his father's death. […] Edward Hutchinson became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1638, was Lieutenant in 1654, and Captain in 1657. He served in King Philip's War with the Massachusetts forces as chief officer of cavalry, [and] was mortally wounded in an Indian ambuscade near Wickabaug Pond, West Brookfield, Mass." [John Denison Champlin, citation details below]

"To his honor, he entered into the dissent against the sanguinary law of 1658, for punishing the Quakers with death on their return to the colony after banishment." [History of the Military Company of the Massachusetts, Now Called the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, citation details below]

Edward married Katherine Hamby on 13 Oct 1636 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Katherine (daughter of Robert Hamby and Elizabeth Arnold) was born before 19 Oct 1615; was christened on 10 Dec 1615 in St. Matthew's, Ipswich, Suffolk, England; died after 10 Jun 1649. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Col. Elisha Hutchinson was born on 16 Nov 1641 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts; was christened on 28 Nov 1641 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts; died on 10 Dec 1717 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts; was buried in Boston Common, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.

Notes:

He grew up in Alford, Lincolnshire, where he was warden of the church in 1620-21. He arrived in Boston on the Griffin, 18 Sep 1634, with his widowed mother; his wife; his wife's younger sister Catherine Marbury, about 24; and his and his wife's ten children. Also on that voyage were his brother Samuel; his sister Mary, wife of the Rev. John Wheelwright; and the Reverends Zachariah Symmes and John Lothropp.

"Among their fellow passengers were the Rev. John Lathrop, afterward the first minister of Scituate, and the Rev. Zachariah Symmes, who became pastor of the church at Charlestown. [Gov. John] Winthrop tells us that one of the chief amusements in the long voyages of the time was listening to sermons, and that often three long homilies were delivered within the twenty-four hours. Though no diary of the Griffin's voyage has been preserved, it is not likely that Messrs. Lathrop and Symmes were exceptions to this homiletic custom of their brethren, so it is probable that they delivered themselves daily of the orthodoxy of the day, tinctured, as was the custom of our Puritan forbears, with their individual opinions. Another custom of those primitive times was the discussion by the laity of the points of doctrine raised in such sermons. In these discussions, in which the ministers also took part, we may easily imagine that Mrs. Hutchinson was not backward, and as, according to contemporary evidence, she was of a nimble and comprehensive wit, we may conceive that she sometimes got the better of her antagonists. However this may be, it is certain that these ministers, and especially Mr. Symmes, became greatly prejudiced against her and that Symmes carried his animosity so far as to attempt, after the arrival in Boston, to exclude her from admission to the church." ["The Tragedy of Anne Hutchinson", citation details below]

Following his wife's banishment he removed with her and most of their family to Rhode Island, where he was at first treasurer of the new colony of Portsmouth, alongside William Coddington who served as Judge, a title meaning, in effect, governor or chief magistrate. A controversy compelled Coddington to relocate in 1639, establishing the town of Newport, and Hutchinson became Judge, in which office he died.

William married Mrs. Ann Marbury Hutchinson on 9 Aug 1612 in St. Mary Woolnoth, London, England. Mrs. (daughter of Rev. Francis Marbury and Bridget Dryden) was born before 20 Jul 1591; was christened on 20 Jul 1591 in Alford, Lincolnshire, England; died about Aug 1643 in New Netherland, in what is now the Bronx. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From "The Well-Beloved Mother-in-law of Robert Marbury" by F. N. Craig, citation details below:

In the funeral of Henry VII in 1509, [Robert Marbury] was a yeoman to the King's Grandame (that is, Henry VII's grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, wife successively of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond; Sir Henry Stafford; and Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby). In 1510, as yeoman usher of the Queen's Chamber, he had a grant to be feodary [i.e., one who holds land of an overlord on condition of homage] of the duchy of Exeter within county Devon, during [the king's] pleasure. In 1513, as Robert Marbury Jr. he was a feofee, along with Robert Marbury Sr. [his uncle], John Lenton [father of his son's future wife] and John Marbury, clerk. In 1514, his cousin William Blount, Lord Mountjoy, was the Queen's Chamberlain. In the same year, Robert Marbury, yeoman usher of the Queen's Chamber, was feodary noted above, for life. In 1517, he was appointed to be serjeant at arms, with 12d. a day in consideration of his services to Queen Catherine. In 1526, his yearly wage as serjeant at arms in the Royal Household was £18 5s, i.e., still 12d. a day.

In the Lincolnshire Rebellion of October 1536, Robert Marbury appears as follows: In the examination of Sir Edward Madeson before the King's Council, Madeson, with his brother John Madeson and both his sons, then went up into Castrefeld to see the number of rebellious and there met Sir Wm. Askew and Marbery the serjeant and one Bonctcene of the Exchequer. The rebels took them all except Boneteync and Marbury. (Let. & Pap. Hen. VIII, 11:225-26, no. 568.)

In a letter from Sir Robert Kyrkham to Richard Cromwell:

"Yesterday night late" he was at Stanforde with Sir William Parre and others when Marbery and Madyson, the King's servants came in, having escaped from the rebels who they say are 20,000... (Let. & Pap. Hen. VIII, 11:248, no. 619).

Robert married Katherine Williamson before 1524. Katherine (daughter of John Williamson and Jane Angevine) was born about 1508; died on 17 Aug 1525. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: 11 Aug 1525

Notes:

Katherine Williamson and Robert Marbury were half third cousins once removed, both being descendants of Thomas Hawley (d. 1419 or 1420), Katherine through Thomas's first wife Margaret Brewse, and Thomas through an uncertain wife who may have been Dulcia Massey or perhaps an unknown wife between Margaret and Dulcia.

Notes:

Notwithstanding the claim made in several online sources, the John Lenton who was father to William Marbury's wife Agnes was not the John Lenton who married Elizabeth Shepherd. That latter marriage, as shown by Walter Goodwin Davis in "Shepherd of Littlecote" (New England Historical and Genealogical Register 118:251, Oct 1964), took place on 18 May 1585, making it obvious it was a later John Lenton that married this Elizabeth.

David married Isabel Nicholson. Isabel (daughter of William Nicholson) was born about 1504 in of Staffle Hill, Walton, Cumberland, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Alternate birth: Abt 1448-1453

Notes:

"That he was a man of considerable social standing and prestige in Northampton county is indicated by the fact that he is first mentioned in 1473 as an executor of the will of John Stafford, Earl of Wiltshire, a younger son of Humphrey Stafford, the powerful Duke of Buckingham. William Marbury married about this time into the prominent family of Blount. His wife Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Blount and Agnes Hawley, was niece of Sir Walter Blount, Lord Mountjoy, K.G., who in 1467 had married Anne Neville, the widow of Humphrey Stafford, Duke of Buckingham. Sir Walter Blount, his wife Anne, Duchess of Buckingham, and William Marbury were co-executors of the will of Anne's son, John, Earl of Wiltshire. In the will, dated April 21, 1473, the Earl of Wiltshire made William a guardian of his only son, Edward, then age three: 'Also I will pray William Marbury to be attendaunte to my sonne and he to have rule about him.' It was William's brother, Robert, however, who attended the second Earl in the capacity of gentleman-usher for a period of twenty-five years."
