Ruth Hutchins immigrated to Vanderburgh County with her husband, ? Hutchins, around 1825.
Both Ruth and her husband were born in New York. I have found an 1840 and 1850 census
record listing Ruth as the Head of Household. In the 1850 census, she is listed along with
her four children, 1) Varner Hutchins, age 23, born in Indiana, 2) Elizabeth Hutchins, age
17, born in Indiana, 3) Lucy Hutchins, age 14, born in Indiana, and 4) Adrian Hutchins,
age 11, born in Vanderburgh (my gr-grandfather). I have not been able to locate the
Ruth's husband's first name and I assume that he either died, or left the family,
by the time his youngest son, Adrian, was born, in 1839. I believe Ruth's two
daughters married into the Brooks and Sizemore families of Vanderburgh County (at least
that is indicated by the 1870 census which shows Ruth living with her grandchildren by
those names) Can anyone help me track down my elusive gr-gr-grandfather? I would be
willing to pay for documented genealo!
gy or research services. I would love to know what happened to him. Thank you so much.
