THOMAS P. HUTCHINSON, farmer; P. O. Lebanon; was born in Clermont Co., Ohio, July 30, 1808; his father, Silas Hutchinson, was a native of Maryland and a soldier under Gen. Wayne in the war of 1812; he emigrated to Ohio at an early day and located in Clermont County, where he married Miss Margery Paxton, a native of that county, by whom he had eight children, viz., Joseph, Robert, Keziah, Elizabeth, Silas, Thomas P., Betsey and a child who died in infancy. Of these, our subject and Silas are the only survivors. Mr. Hutchinson died in Lebanon and his wife in Turtle Creek Township on what is called the “Ridge.” Our subject received an ordinary education in the schools of his day, and at once commenced life by renting a farm on which he continued until able to purchase a small tract of land; he has followed farming all his life, adding little by little to his estate until now he has accumulated a comfortable competency; he was married in April, 1828, to Cynthia Benham, |
