THOMAS HUTCHINSON.
Eldest son of Governor Hutchinson. He was born in Boston in 1740. He
married Oct. 10, 1771, Sarah, daughter of Lieut. Governor Andrew Oliver.
He was Judge of the Probate Court for the County of Suffolk. He was
Mandamus Councillor, and an Andresser of General Gage. He and his family
were in Boston during the blockade, and bombardment. At the evacuation,
they went aboard ship with their two children, when the third child was
born, as they were leaving for England. Dr. Peter Oliver, the second son
of Chief Justice Oliver, refers to this matter in his Diary, as follows:
"We remained blocked up in Boston till the beginning of March, 1776,
when we were ordered to embark. Tommy Hutchinson's family and mine went
aboard the Hyde Pacquet for England, March 25th, 1776, we set sail for
England. The day before we set sail from Nantasket, Tommy's wife was
delivered of a boy which had not a drop of milk during the whole
passage, was much emaciated, and no one thought it would have lived. The
lady well. As to myself, I was sick 21 days without any support; reduced
almost to a skeleton. Seven children on board ship, and the eldest not 6
years old."
