Hutcheson-625 and Hutchenson-36 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same person. Hutcheson is the most commonly used variation of the name in Amherst. She did not move to Indiana and died in Amherst. Her death in Amherst is not only in the Edwards family bible, but is also part of the court record in the chancery court case of Thomas Edwards estate.
