  • Thomas HUTCHESSON snr's brother, William also came to Australia with wife Elizabeth, children Catharine & Edward.

  • who are his parents?

  • Lyn Thompson, a descendent, recalls talk of an ancestor Thomas Hutchesson serving in Flanders in 1815, but perhaps a different one to General Thomas Hutchesson (see at bottom), although this General's father, the Rev. Thomas was associated with Ely which is not far from Wisbech.
    

  • there is also record of a presumably different Thomas HUTCHESSON marrying in 1815 in Terrington, St Clement - see here

• Thomas HUTCHESSON snr married Mary CRANE (1810-1851) in 1838 at Elm, Cambridgeshire, England where Mary was born. Mary had 2 children to her first partner - Henry H CRANE and Sarah CRANE before marrying Thomas; Mary was buried in South Bank.

  • Arthur married Martha Jane BRILL (1874-1965) and had 4 daughters, of whom, May was my maternal grandmother.

Possible relatives in Australia:

• David HUTCHESSON:

  • David HUTCHESSON came out to Australia in 1846 and together with brothers George and John formed a firm they called HUTCHESSON BROTHERS. The HENTYs vacated the license to RUNNYMEDE in March 1846 and the license was subsequently taken up by HUTCHESSON BROTHERS. Much of the leasehold was poor, scrubby land and only carried a relatively small number of sheep.

  • In 1854, John HUTCHESSON built the first flour mill in Hamilton a three story bluestone Mill, with the stones steam driven. His wife Ann ROBERTSON, sister of George ROBERTSON of "WARROCK", died in 1856 and soon afterwards he married his housekeeper, Mary McDONALD. During the subsequent 9 years the couple produced 5 children. They were named David George, James Charles, William Robert, John and Isabella "John".

  • John died in March 1870 disemboweled by a horse. In the same year, his younger brother David suicided by slashing his throat with a pocketknife after being brought home to RUNNYMEDE from the GLENELG INN in an intoxicated condition.

  • In 1872, the HUTCHESSONS took up land near SANDFORD. They name the property "MOREDUN HILL" and built the first homestead there. The property name was named after an area in Perthshire, Scotland from which the HUTCHESSONS originated. Before long, members of the family moved out to Carapook and took up "OAKLANDS"(it was covered with she-oaks). The property is now called "KARUMA"
