Hutchinson Family of Norwich Vermont
The Hutchinson family, one of the early settlers in Norwich, Vermont, traces its roots back to Massachusetts in the late 1620s. Abijah Hutchinson, a descendant, settled in Windham before moving to Norwich in 1765 with his son Samuel. They cleared land for farming and eventually made a permanent settlement. Samuel and his wife Jemina had several children, continuing the lineage. John Hutchinson, a soldier in the Continental Army, and his descendants include notable figures and various branches in New York and beyond.
