HUTT Family Genealogy
of Charlotte Sandel BeckEARLY HUTT FAMILIES IN AMERICA
Our earliest proven Hutt ancestor is Joseph Hutt who was born in 1816, in Utica, NY.
It is believed that he is the son of William Hutt of Brooklyn, NY. William is of the line of Hutt
families who settled in the Virginia Colony. While the connection is not proven, it is likely
and I will include the history here.From "Maryland Influence In The Northern Neck":
If acquiring husbands in that day were indicative of charm and appeal, Temperance
Gerard, daughter of Thomas, must have been a winner. Her first marriage to Daniel Hutt, a
mariner and merchant somewhat her senior, made her one of the most wealthy matrons of
the Northern Neck. Hutt operated several ocean going vessels between the colonies and
the continent and was at one time styled a merchant of London...Among his ships was the
Mayflower, John's Adventure and Pinke Adventure and there are records of his ships
sailing to Hamburg, London, the Barbados and Newport RI. His marriage to Temperance
occurred at her father's seat on Naomi Bay. His wealth and vastness of his Virginia estate
can best be judged by a lien placed on 1,505 acres, 27 servants and 100 heads of cattle.
Hutt died in 1674, leaving a fruitful widow and two young children.Temperance married John Crabbe, Mr. Appleton, one of the Washington's and Benjamin
Blanchflower (1692). She died in 1711. Her son Gerrard Hutt was her most distinguished
progeny, for he commanded a foot company in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and was
vestry man of Copley Parish in Westmoreland County.There is a record dated July 20, 1659 of John Washington's men and Daniel Hutt
stripping tobacco together, also in 1659 Daniel Hutt was caught illicitly smuggling guns
along with glass beads and copper bracelets to the Piscataway Indians. Daniel Hutt and
John Washington served as Westmoreland Justices in 1663. Prospect Hill was the name of
the original 875 acre plantation patented in 1666. It remained in the family until 1824.
Today it is located on the south side of Nomini Creek at highway 621 bridge.Daniel's son, Gerrard, who owned Cross Hall, died in 1739 leaving Daniel, Gerrard
(born 1734), Thomas (born 1736), Francis, Elizabeth, Susanna and Anne. The son,
Gerrard, had a son named John, who is the John Hutt who served in the Revolutionary War
and whose war experiences shall be detailed herein. John is the father of Ursula Hutt.
Ursula married Solomon Robinson and thereafter the Robinson and Hutt lines are closely
associated for many years. Ursula's son married Anne Hutt, a cousin. When Solomon
Robinson died, Ursula married a Mr. Rusk and their family moved to Ohio.(Author's Note: The reason Ursula Hutt Robinson came to my attention is that they were neighbors of the McClanahan and Edwards families and their children married into those lines. McClanahan and Edwards were my fathers ancestors, my 6th great grandparents.)
Daniel Hutt, then, was the father of Gerrard Hutt, who was the father of Thomas Hutt, born
in 1776. Thomas married Mary Young and had a son William, who moved to New York
and married Elizabeth Jane Harvey. William died in New York in 1850. The census of
New York shows him in Brooklyn, Kings County. He was the father of Joseph Warren
Hutt. I believe this is our ancestor. Our Joseph Hutt stated in his Civil War pension file
that his residence was Brooklyn. There are no other Hutt statistics that match. The Federal
Censuses prior to 1850 did not list names or exact ages except for ranges in age. The 1830
census for William shows a male in the household between the ages of 10 and 15. In 1830,
our Joseph would have been 13 or 14, depending on when the census was taken that year. It
is possible that the male is our Joseph, though not proven. The middle name beginning with
"W" is a strong clue. By the 1950 census, William was living in Oneida County, NY, In
Whitestown, next to Utica, where our Joseph married and reared his family.The first two generations of Hutt families remained in Virginia. The third generation
appears to have moved to Ohio within a few years of each other, settling in Dayton and
Ross and Vinton counties. Nine Hutt families have been identified in Ohio and are cousins
in the original Virginia lines. Many in the fourth generation moved to Missouri right after
the Civil War years, including several Robinson families, as well as John Hutt Robinson.
At this place in my research, it is only coincidental that the Ohio Hutt families settled in
Monroe and Atchison counties, Missouri, as did our Joseph William Hutt. It is also
coincidental that our Joseph Hutt was sent to the Military Home in Dayton, but I expect to
find a link with future research. Monroe County records are scarce where they exist at all
since the records prior to 1900 were burned.Properties adjoining Mt. Vernon, home of George Washington were owned by Edwards,
McClanahan, Robinson, and Hutt. There are records of land sales, witnesses to deeds and
wills, lease agreements between the families.Our Joseph W. Hutt stated in his Civil War pension file that his residence was Brooklyn. The middle initial "W" is another strong clue as at least 3 generations of Hutt men passed down the name Joseph W Hutt.. The Federal Censuses prior to 1850 did not list names or exact ages except for ranges in age. The 1830 census for William shows a male in the household between the ages of 10 and 15. In 1830, our Joseph would have been 13 or 14, depending on when the census was taken that year. It
is possible that the male is our Joseph, though not proven. By the 1850 census, William was living in Oneida County, NY, In Whitestown, next to Utica, where our Joseph married and reared his family. A combination of location, time frame, and name indicate that our Hutt family is part of this line.Our earliest (proven) HUTT ancestor is JOSEPH W HUTT. From census information, we know that he was born about 1816 in Utica, NY but we do not know who his parents were with complete certainty.. In a later census, his son Joe Hutt stated that his parents were both born in England, which contradicts census information given by Joseph Hutt Sr in several other censuses.
In 1838 he married Martha JONES who was also born in New York. Martha's parentage has not yet been explored. Joseph and Martha had 5 known children.
Joseph served the Union Army in the Civil War with the 48th Regiment, New York State Volunteers. Joseph's age at enlistment was 45. He was a Private in Company A and was wounded at Fort Wagner, South Carolina. He was injured in the left forearm and breast by gunshot (grapeshot) and became deaf from cannon fire. His deafness progressed with his age. He also suffered from an "army" ailment which became chronic in his last years. Joseph claimed the paralysis in his hip and leg was due to a fall from a wagon at the Old Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio.. In 1877, while living at the National Military Home in Dayton, Ohio for invalid soldiers, he is described as being 68 years old, height 5 feet 9 1/4", light complexion, gray hair, gray eyes
(See also notes on the NY 48th Regt below)
In his official papers filed to obtain a medical pension he stated that he was from Brooklyn before the war and was a brick mason by trade.
His neighbors affidavits attested to that.Sometime after the war, Joseph went to live with his son, George Hutt, in Waterville, Kansas. George and his wife were unable to care for him and he went to a veteran's facility.
In 1890 his daughters Louise Hutt Van Buren and Emily Hutt Miller applied for permission to remove him from the Military Home and take him to their home in Jacksonville, Florida. They stated that their mother died in Jacksonville 9 years prior to the 1890 affidavit. Joseph had a male nurse who cared for him and a "rolling chair". His pension file contains many medical and personal affidavits from doctors and former neighbors.
Joseph and Martha married in 1838 in Utica, Oneida County, New York. It is here that they reared their family. Their children were:
CHARLES A. HUTT, born 1839 in Utica. He served in the Civil War in Company I 173rd
New York Infantry. On September 4, 1863, his mother Martha filed for survivor's benefits,
indicating that he died during the war. Charles was age 19 at enlistment.
He died in the battle of Port Hudson, LA, about 50 miles north of Baton Rouge, LA.GEORGE W. HUTT, born 1841 in Utica. He married Clara J. and was a surveyor at
Waterville, Kansas. He also served in the Civil War and was a 1st Lieutenant in the 1st
Kansas Infantry. On February 26, 1866, he applied for an invalid pension. They had a
daughter, Hellan F, born 1872 in Kansas and a son, also George.
His wife, Clara J Hollenbeck Hutt is buried in Miami County, KS.
George was wounded in the chest at the Battle of Wilson's Creek in 1861 while serving
as an officer in the 1st Kansas and 17th Kansas regiments, being promoted to the rank of
1st Lieutenant. George lived at the Old Soldiers Home in Los Angeles, CA at the
time of his death in 1923 at the age of 86.
EMILY A. HUTT, born 1843 in Utica. She married Henry J. Miller in 1864 and later,
before 1880, lived in Jacksonville, Florida.LOUISE M. HUTT, born October 3, 1844 in Utica. She married Edmund Rawson
VanBuren on December 27, 1864 in New York. They moved to Jacksonville, Duval
County, Florida between 1869 and 1871. In NY they lived in Albany. Louise died
September 27, 1912 in Lakeland, Florida. She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in
Jacksonville. Her children are: Charles, Emma S, Lula D., Samuel Hubbard, Edmund
Rawson, Grace Miller, Alice Louise. Alice married Eldred Nichols Rodrick and her
children are Louise VanBuren Rodrick and Eldred N. Rodrick, Jr. Grace married William
Gordon Howard.(NOTE: When the author was a child in the 1950's, western celebrities were featured in popular television programs... Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane....friends of the author did not believe stories that her ancestor knew them personally. Her grandmother went to the Houston Chronicle and retrieved the following 1938 obituary as proof)

**JOSEPH WILLIAM HUTT, born March 10, 1850 in Utica, NY. He went west at age of 17 to join his brother in Waterville, Kansas. Joe W. Hutt killed buffalo for their hides in the early 1870's and personally knew Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickock, Bat Masterson and Calamity Jane as well as other frontier celebrities. |
JOSEPH WILLIAM HUTT married Annie Mary Williams in 1899 at Monroe City,
Missouri. The family moved to Anacoco, Louisiana where they bought a farm. About 1919
the family moved to Houston where Joseph William was a contractor in the dismantling of
Camp Logan. Joseph had a wooden leg. It is said that he sometimes stabbed it with a knife,
right through his pants leg, to demonstrate to young children how tough he was. Joseph and
Annie had 5 children.
Joseph, Ella, Joseph II, William, Annie Williams, Annie, CharlesCHARLES R. HUTT was unmarried. In 1938 he lived in Denton, Texas.
ELLA HUTT was born September 25, 1905 at Monroe City, Missouri. She died May 30,
1980 at San Pedro, California. She married Wilhelm Frederich, Count of Castell, known as
Bill Castell on April 5, 1930. They had at least one child, Angela Castell. During WW II,
there was some question of the loyalties of Bill Castell because of his German origins.
Apparently the concerns were unfounded. In 1938 Ella was living in Anderson, Indiana.ANNIE HUTT married Bill Ross and lived in Dayton, Ohio in 1938. They had at least two
children, Bill and Thelma.WILLIAM JAMES HUTT was born December 26, 1908 in Light, Missouri. In 1938 he
