Hutchinson was born in Columbia County, Georgia, July 5, 1821. His father, James, and his mother, Martha (nee Culbreth), were both natives of Georgia. His father went from Georgia to Texas in 1837 and engaged in mercantile pursuits at Houston, where he died. John accompanied his father to Texas, and soon thereafter was placed in a private school in Georgia, where he obtained a fair education for those days. After his father's death he bought a farm of eighty acres near Houston, and lived there till 1852. He was married in 1846 to Margaret Thompson, a native of England, who came to Texas with her parents when a young girl. She died about two years after, leaving two daughters, one of whom subsequently died. In 1852 he sold his farm and came to California, making the journey overland through New Mexico, starting March 1, and arriving in this valley in September. He was in poor health, and neither himself nor his friends expected he would survive the trip. He took up a piece of land between Saratoga and Mountain View and began to make improvements. He also went into the mountains and made lumber for a year or two, using two ox teams. In 1856 he bought an interest in a lime-kiln about half a mile south of Saratoga. He afterward bought out the company owning the lime-kiln and pre-empted 160 acres of land on which the kiln was situated. He sold his place near Mountain View in 1857. He ran the lime-kiln about two years, supplying the Guadaloupe mines with lime until they found and began to burn their own lime. He ceased making lime in 1859, and turned his attention to clearing and farming his land. Occasionally he sold small pieces of this land, the last sale being made in 1884, when he disposed of it all. The same year he removed to Saratoga and engaged in mercantile business, in which he continued till 1887. He was appointed Postmaster at Saratoga, May 17, 1886, which position he has satisfactorily filled to the present time. Mr. Hutchinson married again in 1868, Mrs. Matilda Potter, a native of Illinois. She died in 1879. She had two children by her first husband and three by her second. Two of the latter (daughters) are still living. In politics Mr. Hutchinson is an ardent Democrat.

Pg. 326 Transcribed by Kathy Sedler Proofread by Betty Vickroy ******************** Hutchinson, born in Columbia County, George in 1921, was a farmer who came to McCartysville from Texas in 1852. He established a farm north of McCartsville, and also for a while engaged in lumbering. In 1856 he acquired an interest in a lime kiln about 1/2 mile south of McCartysville, later buying out the company and pre-empted 160 acres of land on which it was located. By 1859 he had ceased production, and turned his attention to clearing the land and farmed his acreage. In 1868, Hutchinson married Matilda Potter, a native of Illinois. in 1884, a few years following her early death, he sold what remained of his 160 acres, and moved to downtown Saratoga where he engaged in the mercantile business. In 1886, Hutchinson was appointed Postmaster, and the following year he ceased operating his business. John Hutchinson operated his general store out of the first floor of this building. By 1918, the second story was used as an I.O.O.F Hall. ****************** Hutchinson Building The Hutchinson building presently has a plaque paid for by the owners when the building underwent renovations in 1950. The building was originally built by John Hutchinson in 1884. In 1856, John C. Hutchinson came to Saratoga and purchased a lime kiln along with 160 acres of land. At that time, lime was used for construction of early brick buildings. Under Hutchinson's ownership, lime was hauled in ox drawn carts to the Guadalupe mines where it was used to reclaim quicksilver. After two years, the mine was able to develop its own source of lime and Hutchinson closed down the kiln and returned to farming. Hutchinson sold his land in 1884 and moved to downtown Saratoga where he engaged in the mercantile business. This two-story building originally had exterior walls of thick limestone on the first floor and the second floor had a wood frame construction. ****************** 1st wife: Margaret Thompson 1825 England – 1848 TX Married 26 Jan 1846 in Harris, Texas She had 2 daughters, she and a daughter died about 1848.
