My Hutchins BURTON notes for you and others who might be interested. I haven't worked on this man's line in awhile. I got much of it from a visit several years ago to the Library of Virginia. Most trees show his children all born in Henrico Co., VA, but I'm not certain that it wasn't Goochland instead (at least for some of the children). I welcome additions/corrections:
Hutchins was born 09 Apr 1694, married 31 Mar 1719 (records of marriages in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA), and died 1763 in Henrico Co., VA.
His family resided at Westham (Burton Chronicles of Colonial Virginia), on the western side of what is now the city of Richmond. His first appearance in the records was in 1719 when he was appointed road surveyor "from William Gordons to Tuckahoe Bridge."
When he married in 1719, the record in St. Peter's Parish in New Kent County stated: "Mr. Hutchins Burton and Susanna Allen was married March ye 31st 1719". A copy of their Bible record is found in the Library of Virginia, Richmond, VA. It is a poor, barely readable copy, #30346, listed under Burton-Price Family bible Records, Henrico & Pittsylvania Counties 1694-1779.
The book "The Allen Family of England....etc" by Richard Fenton Wicker, Jr. 1995, page 16, incorrectly gives information regarding Hutchens Burton, the husband of Judith Allen. Mr. Wicker claims that Hutchens' father was Abraham (1669-1736) and Mary (Bevill) Burton. He uses "TN Cousins, page 636) as a source saying that Abraham Burton was the son of Thomas and Susannah (Allen) Burton. I would believe that the Bible record quoted above was more accurate.
The land patents to Hutchins Burton began on Sept. 5, 1723 (book 11, page 246) when he purchased 400 acres in Henrico Co., VA on the north side of James river "begg. &c. on Westham Creek, on the land of Colo. Wm. Randolph" (Lib. of VA).
On Mar. 24, 1725, he secured by patent 400 more acres "on the north side James River, begg. at a corner white oak and gum on Wistham Creek, being Colo. Randolphs corners" (Lib. of VA).
28 September 1730, under the name Hutchinson Burton, he was granted land in Goochland Co., VA, "400 acres on the north side of Appamattox River adjoing Frederick Cox &c"; "400 acres on the North side Appamattox River beginning at the mouth of Letalone Creek"; and "400 acres on the north side of Appamattox adjoining John Owen" (Lib. of VA).
On Aug. 1, 1735, he purchased 400 additional acres on the north side of James river "adjoing. Colo. Wm. Randolph, his own &c. thence &c. on the north side of a branch of the lower Westham" (Lib. of VA). Benjamin Clark was a neighbor.
During July 1745 he obtained land grants in Henrico Co., VA for 390 acres, "begg. &c. standing South side Westham Creek in Mr. Randolphs line" (Lib. of VA) and another plot of 191 acres "adjoing the Land of Beverley Randolph and his own" (Lib. of VA). There is evidence of many more land purchases and sales. He may have owned in excess of 2500 acres of land in Henrico and Cumberland Counties.
Posted to GenForum, May 2000 by Jean: Henrico County Courthouse Records: 1759-Royal Richard Allen from Middlesex County, Va. received 100 acres from Hutchens Burton, Sr. on the north side of the James River adj. John Watson and Thomas Jackson which formerly belonged to John Childers on Uphum Brook.
SCMAR, Vol. IX, Summer 1981, No. 3, p.143:
Lunenburg Deed Book 4, p. 339: 2 Nov 1756, Hutchings Burton of Lunenburg, to Nathaniel Bassett of the Colony of Georgei, for £ 250 Va. money - 791 acres in Lunenburg on both sides Wards Fork - Hutchins Burton.
Of their many children, two were, according to court records, a cause of some concern and trouble for their parents. In Feb. 1762 Hutchins brought suit against Samuel (his son) and Mary Burton (widow of his son David) as executors of David Burton. In his will dated 1763, Hutchins left only five shillings to his son Samuel and made no mention of his grandson David. His will is found in loose leaf papers in the State Library at Richmond, VA.
The will of Hutchins Burton from Colonial Wills of Henrico Co., VA, Part 2 1737-1781 by Benjamin B. Weisiger III: "To son Samuel Burton, 5 shillings, to son Hutchins Burton 2 negroes, to son William Allen Burton 2 negroes, to son Noel Burton 90 acres on upper side of Westham Creek including plantation where he lives, cow and calf, 1 negro for life, and after his death to his daughter Ann Burton, to my son in law Anthony Mathews and to my daughter Ann Mathews, a negro man, also my negro woman Fillis for life, and 2 negroes to granddaughter Elizabeth Mathews and negro to granddaughter Susanna Mathews, to son Charles Burton, 2 negroes and 100 pounds of the money the land in Cumberland County sold for, to son Robert Burton 5 shillings, to son in law William Price and my daughter Susannah Price 6 negroes, and to said daughter a negro to be divided after her death, between her daughters Sarley, Susannah and Elizabeth, to son Richard Burton, 2 negroes and items; and if he dies, to my son Julius Burton, to son Julius Burton 2 negroes and items and if he dies to my son Richard Burton, to son Hutchins Burton 300 acres where he lives and 1/2 the mill, to son Julius, after death of his mother, all the other part of that tract where I live, about 400 acres to seel negro woman Doll, and divide money between my daughters Ann Mathews and Susannah Price, to Magdalene Burton, daughter of my son Hutchins Burton a cow and calf, to wife Susannah, house and plantation for life and negroes. Wife and sons Hutchins and William to be executors. Dated 09 May 1763. Witness: Wm. Street and Lewis Ball. Recorded 03 Oct. 1763.
The FTM homepage of Kristine Ludwig lists Hutchins birth as 1679, d. 1763, son of Robert and Mary Nowell Burton, m. Susannah ALLEN. The only child listed is Richard Burton.
