    "John1 Hutchins, born in England about 1604, died at Haverhill, Mass., 6 Feb. 1685/6; married Frances _____, born in England, ____, died at Haverhill, Mass., 5 Apr. 1694.

    He was a carpenter, and a resident of Newbury, Mass., as early as 1640, but in 1657 moved to Haverhill, Mass. He erected and repaired dwellings and meeting houses. The town of Haverhill gave him permission to set a weir in the Merrimack River on a little island, to dry fish. In 1658, in partnership with Thomas Davis and Daniel Hendricks, he was granted the operation of the saw mill on condition of erecting a new mill, but the condition was not met and the option was forfeited. However, they did later undertake its operation, but the mill seems to have kept Hutchins in litigation with his partners and with others.

    He served on a Grand Jury, 28 Sept. 1668, and on Petit Juries, 11 Apr. 1665 and 14 Apr. 1668. He was Constable of Haverhill, 1661-2. …

    (His wife) was empowered to act as her husband's attorney in 1665, 'by reason of his being dumbe.' In an affidavit in 1669 he gave his age as 65. Being thus over sixty when struck dumb, it may be that he had suffered an apoplectic stroke. Nevertheless, he remained fairly active and survived some twenty years."
