HISTORY OF MERCER AND HENDERSON COUNTIES pub. H.H. Hill, 1832
Samuel, the second son of James Hutchinson, was born June 28, 1811 (*should be 1816} and began life as stated in story of James Hutchinson. In 1842 he was united in marriage with Miss Martha A. Graham, a native of Todd county, Kentucky, and the eldest daughter of William M. Graham, Esq., who emigrated to Henderson county, Illinois in 1835; she was born September 23, 1823. Mr. Hutchinson since his advent into this county in 1833, spent his life up till the fall of 1879 on and near his first location in Sec. 1, T 10, R 4p and Sec. 36, T 11, R 4, actively engaged in farming and stock raising, and so well did he succeed that on retiring from the farm he was able to wisely apportion off to his family and set apart to his own use about 600 acres of good land. During his residence in this county Mr. Hutchinson took active part in its business affairs. His great circular wolf hunt organized and carried out was the means of ridding the county and its early settlers of a number of those audacious and sneaky posts. On that occasion many more scalps might have been taken but for the excitement created over the twenty or thirty deer which were also surrounded. Mr. Hutchinson affirms that he brought into this county the first combined reaper and mower that did successful work (though the writer was informed that Seth Oaks was the first to introduce that kind of a machine into this township if not in the county). In 1879 Mr. Hutchinson moved to his pleasant home in Monmouth, especially to secure needed rest for his wife. His children are; Ellen (deceased) in her lifetime the wife of Mr. John H. McDougall; Sarah, now Mrs. William Firoved; Elizabeth J., wife of Issac Woods; Samantha S., now Mrs. William McCoy; Mary A., wife of John C. Wallace, and William G., his only son now on the old home. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson and family are members of the United Presbyterian church, and he is a staunch member of the old democratic party. (page 1367).
