British army officer during the French and Indian Wars. He moved to the Carolinas where he held political office & married. He came to the Natchez District first in 1772 and selected a home site at White Apple Village with the help of a Native American. His family & others came back with him to the Natchez District in 1773. Hutchins can be described as a speculator, a frontiersman, a planter, and as a public servant. From growing subsistence food crops in the beginning, he later engaged in the growing of tobacco, then indigo, and finally cotton as cash crops. The 1787 census shows him with 400 head of cattle, 30 horses, 200 hogs, & producing 30,000 lbs of tobacco & 4,000 bushels of corn. |
