William Hutchison – 3rd Great Grandfather (for family reference, this is Robert Lee Updegraff’s great grandfather)

• Missing 1900 census
• Unknown death date (estimate 
• Unknown birth date (estimate 1821-1825)
• No actual sources for connection to parents (DNA has confirmed though)

Williams parents were Forgus Hutchison (1798-1860) and Jane Campbell (1800-1872).

William appears in the Census from 1850-1880 and is living with his wife and children.  His birth years range from 1815-1825.  There are multiple un-sourced ancestry.com trees that list a 1904 death date and the nickname “Fox Bill” or “William Fox,” but no one has any idea where it came from.

I couldn’t find William’s will at the Butler County office, but I did find his father’s *very long* one with lists of items for various people, but never mentioning specifically his son William.  The 1900 Census would certainly provide more information, but I haven’t been able to find it.

William Hutchison married Ann Marie Jamison and had the following known children:

• Forgus M Hutchison 1846-1912, m. Eliza Fleming
• Mary Elvira Hutchison 1848-1915, m. John Elliott Snowden
• Thompson Jamison Hutchison 1851-1907, m. Alice Brady
• Margaret A Hutchison 1853-1920, m. — Thompson
• Amanda Jane Hutchison 1857-1916, m. Gilbert Ewing
• Alexander Campbell Hutchinson 1858-1940 (2nd great grandfather), m. Loretta Zillifro
• Euphemia E Hutchison 1860-1906, m. Edward M Dieter
• Rosetta Hutchison 1864-1910, m. Lincoln Saylor
• William Hutchison 1869-bef 1880

Alexander Campbell Hutchinson – 2nd Great Grandfather (for family reference, this is Robert Lee Updegraff’s grandfather)

Update February 2017: Alexander Campbell is less of a mystery thanks to finding his death certificate, obituary, and release of the 1940 census.  Updated blog post: Alexander Campbell Hutchison.
