1731 Marriage

Husband: Strangeman Hutchins
Wife: Elizabeth Cox
Child:
Marriage Date: 1731[5][7]
Marriage Place: Henrico, Virginia, USA[2]

From Ancestry.com: U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, Strangeman Hutchins, male, birth year 1706 (1707), spouse: Elizabeth Cox, spouse birth year 1713, marriage year 1731.

Elizabeth Cox married Strangeman Hutchins in 1731, at about age eighteen. If their marriage was typical, they declared their intentions to a monthly meeting and were investigated by a committee of members to determine their suitability. In Elizabeth's time, Friends were disowned for marrying outside the church membership. Disownment could mean being cut off from family and friends, as well as any inheritance.[1]
Over the next twenty-five years, Elizabeth gave birth to at least eleven children whose names are given in the chart above. Miscarriages and still-births were common in that period and were rarely recorded. She survived her husband by twenty-four years and was reported by one of her grandsons to have lived to the age of 103. She died in Surry County.[1]
Elizabeth Cox Hutchins was born in 1713 in Henrico County, Virginia. She was the great-granddaughter of William Cox, who is said to have come to the Jamestown colony on the ship Godspeed in 1610, at only eleven years of age. Jamestown was the first permanent English colony in America and had only been established in 1607. In spite of the hardships there, William prospered and eventually married to a woman named Elizabeth. Their son John was born in 1640 and was married to Mary Elam, born in 1645.[1]
John and Mary Cox had a son named Richard in 1678, who was the father of Elizabeth Cox. Her mother was Mary Trent, born in 1682, daughter of Henry Trent, Jr. and Elizabeth Sherman.[1]

Strangeman Hutchins and Slavery

Strangeman (pronounced Strong-mun) Hutchins was born in 1707 in Henrico County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Cox in 1731 in Hanover County, Virginia. After their marriage, he and Elizabeth moved to Goochland County. However, Strangeman's name appears frequently in the records of the Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting of Friends in Hanover County, where he was an elder, from 1741-1786.[8]
Strangeman Hutchins was prosperous. He was a planter who owned about 750 acres of land. Early Quakers, like people of other religions, often bought slaves to work their land and raise cash crops like cotton and tobacco. When slavery became a subject of debate in the Friends' meeting houses, Quakers began to free their slaves, with opposition from the states. Both Virginia and North Carolina passed laws against manumission. Strangeman freed twelve slaves in Virginia, in 1782, when the law there was changed. This was accomplished by a deed of manumission, a legal document by which the state allowed a slave-owner to set someone free. Strangeman is listed on several DAR site as a patriot. [8]

Move to North Carolina

When Strangeman and his wife were in their seventies, they sold their land in Virginia and moved to Forbush Creek in Surry County, (now in Yadkin County) North Carolina about 1786. There, he joined the Deep Creek Friends Meeting.[8]

Death

Date: 10 FEB 1792
Place: Age: 85 Surry, North Carolina, United States[2][3]or Guilford, North Carolina[6]Burial details unknown.

From Ancestry.com: U.S. Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935, Strangeman Hutchens (Hutchins) death age 85, birth date 1707, death date 02/10/1792, death place: Guilford, North Carolina.

Dying Words

Strangeman died February 10, 1792, in Surry County, North Carolina, at the age of eighty-five. His friend Sylvanus Hadley recorded his dying words, stating that Strangeman was taken ill about mid-October 1791 and suffered a good bit during the next few months. The evening before his death, Sylvanus wrote down his prayers for forgiveness and mercy and his expressions of faith, reporting that "He was heard to say that he had been afraid that he had displeased his Creator, that was the cause He continued him here so long in affliction." Strangeman said, "Oh that we might all be prepared so that when we come to lie upon a dying bed and a rolling pillow, we may have nothing to do but die."[8]

Will

His will was proved in Surry County Court in July of that year. In his will he names
his wife, Elizabeth Hutchens,
son Benjamin Hutchens,
daughter Mary Brooks and her husband Samuel Robert Brooks, from whom she is apparently separated,
his granddaughter Elizabeth Stanley, who is the daughter of Mary Brooks,
daughter Edieth Stanley,
grandson John Hutchens Stanley,
sons and daughters John, Nicholis, Thomas and Benjamin Hutchens, Obedience Harding and Jean Barnett.
He also names John Stanley, who is apparently the husband of Edieth.
Witnesses include Jonathan Johnson and John Johnson. John Johnson is the husband of Strangeman's daughter, Lydia. John and Lydia's son Jonathan was about 20 years old at his grandfather's death.

Daughter

Jane Hutchins, daughter of Strangeman and Elizabeth Cox Hutchins was born in Henrico County June 10, 1748. Jane married Athanacius Barnett in Hanover County, Virginia on December 12, 1767. She and her husband were both Quakers and had migrated first to Ohio and then to West Newton, Marion County, Indiana. Jane died in the West Newton area on November 30, 1833 and is buried in Easton Cemetery, West Newton, Indiana. [1]
Strangeman was very involved with the (Hanover Co.) Cedar Creek Friends Church. Activities included serving as witness, overseer, clerk and elder. He freed 12 slaves by a deed of Manumission in 1782. All indications are that Strangeman was an active man with remarkable abilities.[11]
HISTORICAL HI-LITES: About the time Strangeman was born, a statute was passed in Maryland that allowed a minister to divorce couples if he disapproved of the woman!

Henry Sherman wrote his will in Henrico County 2 Sept. 1695, perhaps anticipating that he would die soon for they recorded his will 1 Oct. 1695. He left Cicely all his slaves and half his personal property. The rest of his personal estate he left to be divided between his daughters and grandson Alexander Trent. His sons were already dead. After the death of Cicely, his land would descend to the two Trent grandsons (Henrico Co. Deeds & Wills 1688-97, p. 595). Peter Field, Francis Epes, William Farrar, and William Soane inventoried Henry’s estate and the court recorded the division of his estate in Dec. 1695 (Henrico Co. Deeds & Wills 1688-97, p. 609)."[10]

Will of Henry Trent

Summary of the will of Henry Trent, grandfather of the Elizabeth Cox Hutchins above.
April 1, 1701: Will of Henry Trent recorded (written Jan. 8, 1700). He leaves each of his sons, Alexander, Henry, John and William, 109 acres in Varina Parish. William gets first choice when the land is divided. Henry gets a cow at Richard Cox's. His daughter, Mary Cox, wife of Richard Cox, receives a gold ring; daughters Rebecca Trent and Susanna Trent receive 2,000 pounds of tobacco each. His widow, Elizabeth, gets three servants
I could not find a will for Henry Watkins, the great grandfather for Strangeman Hutchins, but did find some interesting facts.
1677: assisted Richard Cocke, Col. Ligon, and Gilbert Jones in the survey of "Mawburne Hills," which he owned. 1678: Henry Watkins paid tithes in Varina parish.1679: Deed patented for 170 acres of land on the north side of the James River in Henrico County. Henry Watkins held land in the "Turkey Island" district of eastern Henrico County, north of the James River, when a militia roll was taken in June 1679.1684: Fined for continuing in his Quakerism. 1690: Purchased 360 acres of land in Varina Parish, Henrico Co, south side of Chickahominy Swamp from Lyonel Morris. That same year, he bought 60 acres of land adjoining his own land and touching a run of Turkey Island Creek. 1699: Subscribed 500 pounds of tobacco towards building the Friends meetinghouse at Curls1703: Paid 50 pounds of tobacco towards furnishing the Friends building. 1704: Quit Rents of Virginia lists Henry Sr. with 100 acres in Henrico CountyHis religion, at times, caused him to clash with the ruling authorities in Virginia. In 1660, the Virginia Assembly passed a strict law against Quakers, who they described as ""... an unreasonable and turbulent sort of people, who daily gather together unlawful assemblies of people, teaching lies, miracles, false visions, prophecies, and doctrines tending to disturb the peace, disorganize Society and destroy the peace, disorganize society and destroy all laws, and government, and religion." You’ll find many mentions of Henry Watkins in "Quaker Records of Henrico Monthly Meeting" by F. Edward Wright. When his wife was assaulted, he refused to prosecute the criminal because the law required actions contrary to the Quaker doctrine (Henry‘s wife, Katherine Watkins, was raped by a slave from adjoining property. A copy of the testimony is available , just GOOGLE, Katherine Watkins and 1681.) . In 1661 an act was passed that anyone who failed to attend services of the established church for a period of one month would be subject to a fine. And again in 1666 an act was passed imposing fines on 'refractory persons' for failure to comply with the militia laws and regulations. In 1684 Henry Watkins was fined by the court for "continuing in his Quakerisms." His fine was later remitted. .[10]
Henry Watkins disbursed his lands to his children prior to his death. He mentions his love for his children when he gave land to each of his sons on the south side of Chickahominy Swamp in 1692. The tradition of primogeniture was still common in the early colonies.
However, by making a will you could distribute your property as you saw fit. Henry went even further than this when he partitioned his land to his sons prior to his death. I feel it showed a great deal of confidence in the ability and integrity of his sons. Our direct relative Henry (II) Watkins was gifted in January 1691, with love and affection, "the tract where I now live".[10]

I visited the land owned by Nicholas Hutchins and wife Mary Watkins, north side of the James river and four mile creek. Today that is Deep Bottom boat ramp, so you may visit.
I visited the land owned by Strangeman 1707-1792, and his wife Elizabeth Cox.

Northwest of Richmond, VA. On the James river and juncture with Genito Creek. Beautiful land.! After freeing his slaves about 1786, the move to Surry Co. North Carolina, Produced my grandfather 👴, the first American 🇺🇸, in our line. Thomas Hutchins 1787-1805. After his death, 4 of his children headed to present day Wayne Co., Indiana. Two daughters and their husbands settled in Newport, present day Fountain City, on highway US 27. Guliema married John Hough pronounced Huff. He was the blacksmith and farmer 👩‍🌾. Mary married Thomas Brown I believe. The two brothers headed west a few miles, building roads and settling farmland. Thomas was married to Susannah Hutchens (second cousin). Young Benjamin marred neighbor Martha Johnson, whose father William Johnson left land for the settlement of present day Williamsburg, Indiana. The two brothers donated the land for the Quaker church and grave yard at Williamsburg. Every family member in my line is buried there. Some of the stones are gone…I. Was fortunate enough to visit the cemetery there and see the stones for Thomas and Suzanne Hutchens, Thomas passed in 1855. My grandfather is also buried there along with every son in the line. Benjamin and Martha are buried there along with their children. Benjamin built many roads and charge tolls for doing so.

A pied cow or horse, is 2 toned, usually black and white faced, maybe brown. Of course pie-eyed is completely different.

Should the two profiles for his wife be merged? Looks like one has a type in the surname.

Why are the wills of other family members included in this bio? Does anyone mind if I add them to the appropriate profile and replace the text with a link to the profile of the will?
