municated by his grand-mother lady 
Catharine ; and as this lady dwelt 
in splendor at Nottingham, and had 
ample means of information; as 
there is only one instance wherein 
the veracity of the biographer is at 
all called in question, and even in 
this, it does not appear to the editor, 
and probably may not to the reader, 
that there was sufficient ground for 
objection; the opposition and the 
acquiescence of her grandson and 
herself seem alike to confirm the 
authenticity and faithfulness of the 
narrative. 
There will be found annexed a 
pedigree of the family of Hutchin- 
son, taken from a very handsome 
emblazoned genealogy in the posses. 
sion of the editor, originally traced 
by Henry St. George, king of arms, 
and continued and embellished by 
Thomas Brand, esq. his majesty’s. 
writer and embellisher of letters to 
the eastern princess, anno 1712. 
This’ pedigree shews that col. 
Hutchinson left four sons, of which 
the youngest only, John, left issue 
two sons ; and there is a tradition in 
the family, that these two last des- 
ecndants of col. Hutchinson emi- 
grated, the one to the West Indies 
or America, the other to Russia ; 
the latter is said to have gone out 
with the command of aship of war 
given by queen Anne to the czar 
Peter, and to have been lost at sea, 
One of the female descendants of 
the former the editor once met with 
by accident at Portsmouth, and she 
spoke with great warmth of the 
veneration in which his descendants 
in the new world held the memory 
ef their ancestor col. Hutchinson. 
Of the daughters little more is 
known than that Mrs. Hutchinson, 
addressing one of her books of devo- 
tion to her daughter’ Mrs. Orgill, 
ascertains that one of them was mar-

ried to a gentleman of that name. 
The family of Mr. George Hutch- 
inson likewise became extinét in the 
second generation. 
Charles Hutchinson, only son of 
sir Thomas Hutchinson by lady 
Catharine Stanhope, married one of 
the daughters and coheiresses of sir © 
Francis Boteler, of Hatfield Wood- 
hall, Herts ; which family being 
zealous royalists, and he solicitous 
to gain their favour, (which he did 
so effectually, as in the end to 
obtain nearly their whole inheri- 
tance,) it is probable that he gave 
small encouragement or assistance to 
the elder branch of the family while 
they suffered for their republican 
sentiments; on the contrary, it is 
certain that he purchased of Mrs. 
Hutchinson and her son, after the 
death of col. Hutchinson, their 
estate at Owthorpe, which, joined 
to what his father had given him, 
and what he obtained by his marri- 
age, raised him to mere opulence 
than his father had ever possessed 5 
and he seems not to have fallen 
short of him in popularity, for he 
represented the town of Notting- 
ham in parliament from the year 
1690, (being the first general elec- 
tion after the accession of king Wil. 
liam,) till his death. 
His son Julius returned into that 
line of conduct and connections 
which was most natural for one of 
his descent, for he married Betty 
Norton, descended by the father’s 
side from the patriotic family of that 
name in. Hampshire, and by the 
mother’s from the Fiennes’s. He 
seems to have bestowed a very 
rational and well-deserved attention 
upon the writings of Mrs. Hutchin- 
son, and there is a tradition in the 
family, that although he had many 
children of his own, he treated with 
kindness and Jiberality the last des- 
cendants
