! Birth: (2) 22 Dec 1749. (2,3) Sharon, CT. (2) s/o Samuel HUTCHINSON. Probably a descendant of Samuel HUTCHINSON who came from York, England to America. (3) 1749. (4a) 11 Dec 1748, Sharon, CT, s/o Samuel HUTCHINSON/Hannah HERMON.
Marriage to Jerusha CADWELL: (1) Jerusha. (2,4) 16 Jul 1778, (2,4c) Westford, CT. (4b) Ashford, CT.
Marriage to Martha EDDY: (2,3,4)
Death: (2) 19 Apr 1833. (2,3,4) Newport, NH. (2,3) In his 84th year. (3,4) 1833.
(2) Studied 2 years at the school in Lebanon, CT.
(2) 1771: He was one of the pupils who went with President WHEELOCK from CT to Hanover, NH, at the founding of Dartmouth College.
(2,3) 1775: Graduated from Dartmouth College.
(2) 1775: Licensed to preach.
(2) 1778, Mar: Ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Westford, CT.
(2) 1783, Sep: Dismissed as pastor from the Congregational Church in Westford, CT. Ill health caused him to resign.
(2) 1784, 6 Dec: The town of Pomfret held a meeting "To take the minds of said meeting whether thare So well Satisfield with the performance of Rev. Elisha HUTCHINSON as that thare willing to join with sd. Church (of Pomfret) in giving him a call." From this it appears that he had preached in town before the date of the notice of the agenda for the town meeting, 24 Nov 1784. At this town meeting of 6 Dec., a committee of the First Congregational Church of Pomfret reported to the town the facts learned relating to Mr. HUTCHINSON's leaving his former congregation at Westford, CT. This report was accepted and a vote was taken whether the town would call "the Reverend Mr. Elisha HUTCHINSON to the works of the gospel minister in this place." This passed in the affirmative without a dissenting voice. Then they settled the terms: First, the land right granted to the first settled minister, by the charter, became his property. Second, they agreed to move his family and goods to Pomfret free of expense. Third, they agreed to keep for him two cows and a horse until the winter was over, and to find provision for him and his family until May 1st, 1785. Fourth, to build for him by 1 November 1785 a house 38 feet by 30, covering it (except the glazing) to lath and plaster it, to build a chimney, to dig a cellar 30 feet by 14 and to wall it with stone. Fifth, to give Reverend Mr. HUTCHINSON a yearly salary of 35 pounds lawful money and a raise of 5 pounds yearly until it reached 60 pounds, this to be "stated on Wheate at five shillings Per Bushel," which meant it could be paid in wheat or other articles at fixed prices. He was also to have 20 cords of firewood "Drawed to his dore yearly" and his salary was to begin November 1, 1784, and was to be paid him yearly on the first day of November. Finally they appointed "next week Wednes Day" for the installment of Rev. HUTCHINSON.
(2) 1784, 14 Dec: Installed as first pastor of the Congregational Church in Pomfret, NH. He brought to Pomfret a letter of dismissal from the church at Westford. (3) Was the first settled minister at Pomfret, VT.
(2) 1784, 15 Dec: Elisha HUTCHINSON and his wife Jerusha's names were placed on the church roll and the First Congregational Church of Pomfret, VT was fully organized. He succeeded Rev. Aaron HUTCHINSON who was a circuit preacher that preached alternately at Pomfret, Woodstock and Hartford. (NOTE: Rev. Aaron HUTCHINSON was s/o Joseph HUTCHINSON/Mary; gs/o John HUTCHINSON/Hannah ROOT; ggs/o Ralph HUTCHINSON/Alice.)
(2) As the first settled minister, he became owner of lot 13, First Division (the center lot), lot 41, Second Division, and lot 12, Third Division, and also lot 13 among the town lots of one acre each.
(2) He was not a man of great power, and he soon lost the respect of the citizens of Pomfret, although he retained to the last the confidence of his church members.
(2) 1785, 3 Dec: Sold to John WHEELOCK, President of Moses Charity School and Dartmouth College, 3 rights of land belonging to the first settled minister in Pomfret, a 2nd Division lot of 95 acres near Mr. HOWARD and Mr. DEXTER, a 3rd division lot of 50 acres contiguous 1/2 either east or west, and a 1 acre lot in the center of the town, Pomfret, VT. These three were sold for 132 pounds to repay moneys paid him by John WHEELOCK toward his education at the Moses Charity School and Dartmouth College.
(2) 1785, 19 Dec: The town of Pomfret met at the meeting house and at once adjourned to the still incompleted house of Rev. Elisha HUTCHINSON. They set up its completion at public vendue to the lowest bidder. By the nature of the bids, it seems the cellar had been dug and walled, and the frame erected and covered, and the stone part of the chimney built.
(2) 1789, 31 Mar: The first indication that the town was dissatisfied with its minister appears in the record of the town meeting, when freemen voted not to "indemnify the Rev. Mr. HUTCHINSON in his Right of Land."
(2) 1790, 14 Jan: The town of Pomfret voted to raise 55 pounds for the Rev. Mr. Elisha HUTCHINSON's salary for the year past. Only 9 voted in favor, and 7 voted against. At the same meeting, the town voted to abate the taxes of 25 persons. The Selectmen were authorized to makeup the tax for Mr. HUTCHINSON's salary for the past year and the town collector was ordered to collect the same. The law which empowered towns to build meeting houses and to settle and support ministers was passed in Oct 1783. It made provision for the exemption from taxation of persons who differed from the major part of the inhabitants in religious belief.
(2) 1791, 18 Mar: By the time the people assembled at Capt. Abida SMITH's house , it was evident the minister's power over his people was waning. More than 70 rates were abated from contributing to the support of Rev. Elisha HUTCHINSON and this was left to the discretion of the Selectmen. The question regarding the minister's land was brought up and the town voted to indemnify him in the possession of his land on his giving a bond (provided her should leave) to refund such part of his settlement as should be thought just by an indifferent committee.
(2) 1792, Mar: The voters in the town of Pomfret released 6 men from the payment of their rates for Rev. Mr. HUTCHINSON's salary.
(2) 1792, 25 Dec: A committee was appointed by the town of Pomfret to join with the church to consider the expediency of uniting with Rev. Mr. HUTCHINSON in calling a mutual council to dissolve the pastoral relation of Mr. HUTCHINSON. This committee reported adversely to jointly calling a council. But another committee was immediately appointed at the same meeting for the same purpose, proved Rev. HUTCHINSON "is not settled before the 10th day of February next."
(2) 1793, Mar: The taxes of 26 more persons for the support of the minister were abated.
(2) 1794, 9 Jun: The town voted not to support Rev. Elisha HUTCHINSON any longer, and a committee was appointed to join a committee from the church, if called for, to agree on a Council to dismiss Mr. HUTCHINSON. One article in the warning for this meeting invited the town to consider paying Mr. HUTCHINSON the shortage made in his salary by the wholesale abatement of people's taxes, but no action was taken on the matter.
(2) 1794, 29 Oct: The town voted again not to support the Rev. Mr. HUTCHINSON any longer.
(2) 1795, 8 Jan: Dismissed as pastor of the Congregational Church, Pomfret, NH.
(2) 1795, 19 Mar: The Justice of the Peace and selectmen of Pomfret approved the appointment of Elisha HUTCHINSON as Keeper of a house of entertainment. Such a license was then necessary for opening a hotel, which in those days always sold liquors. His house was on the main road, passing north and south through the town. His bar room was the scene of many trials before the justices of the peace.
(2) 1796, 16 Jun: The taxes of 28 more people were abated for the support of the minister, and Mr. Oliver HUTCHINSON was selected as Town Agent to defend the town in the suit brought against the town by the Rev. Elisha HUTCHINSON. The town refused again to make up the shortage in his salary.
(2) He remained in Pomfret 3 or 4 more years after the town refused him support.
(2) 1797, Apr: Sold "the remaining half" of his Third Division lot for 36 pounds to Jacob SARGENT. (NOTE: Author indicates that this happened after his sale of Oct 1797, but gives a date preceeding that.)
(2) 1797: The laws of VT exempted the estates of ministers from taxes, but the tax list of 1797 shows that Mr. HUTCHINSON was assessed $118.
(2a) 1797, 9 Oct: Elisha HUTCHINSON of Pomfret advertised in "Spooner's Journal," of Windsor, "Whereas Jerusha, my wife, has for some time refused to bed with me, or to perform any duties to me which are incumbent on her, and as she endeavors in many ways to injure my interests - These are therefore to forbid any persons harboring or trusting her on my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting after this date."
(2a) 1797, 16 Oct: Jerusha HUTCHINSON of Pomfret advertised in "Spooner's Vermont Journal," "Whereas the Rev. Elisha HUTCHINSON has posted me in the Vermont Journal and asserts that I have refused to bed with him or to perform any duties to him and likewise that I have injured his interests. These complaints are absolutely false and I can make it appear by sufficient witness: and I hereby forbid all persons harboring or trusting him on my account. N.B. I am bold to say he rode away, A mare which I have lost. If anyone will return her home, Then I will pay the cost."
(2) 1797, 18 Oct: Selectman Abida SMITH and Robert PERRY of Pomfret filed an appointment with the Town Clerk, " We the subscribers being Selectmen for the town of Pomfret for the time being, taking into consideration the situation of Elisha HUTCHINSON and his family respecting worldly affairs, and, in our opinion it is needful that we do appoint an Overseer to advise and direct Mr. Elisha HUTCHINSON in his business, and we do hereby, by the authority vested in us appoint Henry AINSWORTH as an overseer to advise and direct as above written for the space of six months from the date of this instrument. And all persons are forbid trading or making any bargain with the sd. Elisha without leave of said Overseer until the above term." This was published 3 tines in "Spooner's Journal," but by the time the selectmen acted, Elisha HUTCHINSON was on the other side of the Green Mountains and returned no more to Pomfret.
(2) 1797, 18 Oct: Elisha HUTCHINSON, at Dorset, VT, deeded to Zadock HUGGINS his lot No. 13, First Division, with the buildings on it, for $1,000. The sale was valid, in spite of the action of the selectmen of Pomfret on the same day. Later HUGGINS conveyed this property to Benjamin GOULD, who in turn sold it to Josiah CHANDLER, and it remained in possession of that family for 3 generations. It later formed a part of Mr. Elton A. SMITH's farm known as "Cloudland."
(2) Went to Granville, NY.
(2) 1800: Went to Zoar, MA, where he joined the Calvinistic Baptist Church.
(2) Moved to PA, but was driven away by the Indians.
(2) Settled at Marion, Wayne Co., NY.
(2,3) 1814, Nov: Became pastor of the Baptist Church in Newport, NH.
(2) 1821: Retired due to infirmity. (3) Was pastor of the Baptist Church until disabled by sickness.
(2) "It is said" he left 15 children and 37 grandchildren.
