From: Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I Daniel Hutt Daniel Hutt Daniel Hutt was born between 1600 and 1630, probably in London, England. He was a ship's captain for quite awhile. There are records showing him sailing from London to Virginia, Maryland, Barbados, and New England. The earliest record for Daniel Hutt is in a article called "Cultural Continuity among the Piscataway Indians of Colonial Maryland" by James H. Merrell. He says: "In 1659 colonial authorities caught Daniel Hutt illegally trading with Indians on Piscataway Creek. Hutt's boat was loaded with arms, indicating that some traders offered more than colored beads and copper bracelets in exchange for the natives' corn." Thus it appears that Daniel was at one time a smuggler. Many of the merchants and seafaring men of his day were sons of the aristocracy. At the time, only the eldest son inherited, and the younger sons had to find employment. The merchant class was therefore an acceptable profession in England at the time. Many of the men, who moved to Nominy Bay in Virginia at the same time Daniel did, were sons of old English families. It was not uncommon for these merchants to make trips to the "homeland" at least once a year. They had many servants and stores which supplied their neighbors with British goods. Many were largely involved in growing and selling tobacco. Therefore, it is very likely that Daniel is the second or third son of an old English family. This is further evidenced by the receipt of payment to Francis Chaplin, Sheriff of London for passage on the "Susanna" in 1668. A copy of which is found in the William & Mary quarterly Vol. 15 No. 3. Sir Francis Chaplin was married to Anne Hutt, possibly a sister to Daniel and daughter of Daniel Hutt of Essex. This intimate relationship would explain why Sir Francis loaned Daniel 20 pounds for passage to America. As of yet, the idea that Daniel and Sir Francis were brothers in law is merely speculation, however it would seem to fit the circumstances. Since Daniel's earlier arrest for selling guns to Indians occurred in Maryland, it is a possibility that he met Thomas Gerard (his future father in law) there. Mr. Richard Cole, one of Daniel's neighbors and an apparent social pariah was quoted as saying "Hardwick and Hutt were rogues" and Washington "an ass-negroe-driver" (source: William & Mary Quarterly; Washington and his neighbors Vol 4: Issue 1 pgs. 28) From: The Washington Ancestry and Records of the McClain,
Johnson and Forty Other Colonial American Families, Volume 1 Daniel Hutt served as a Justice in Westmoreland County, along with John Washington (George Washington's great grandfather), Valentine Peyton, Captain William Pierce, Captain George Mason , Mr. John Lord and Lt. Colonel John Dodman Information from the Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol.4, No. 1, p. 331: Daniel Hutt, a mariner and merchant, operated several ocean-going vessels between the Colonies an d the Continent and was at one time styled a merchant of London. He lived for awhile in New England, inasmuch as at his settlement in Maryland, he was referred to as late of that section. Among his ships were the Mayflower of cherished memories, John's Adventure, and Pinke Adventure , and there are records of his ships sailing to Hamburg, London, the Barbadoes, and Newport, Rhode Island. His marriage to Temperance Gerard occurred at her father's seat on Nomini Bay. Hi s 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 Information from Charlolette Sandel Beck: Hut Family Genealogy. There is a record 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 to the Piscataway Indians. Daniel 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. Information from J. Clifford Hutt, Montross, VA. Place of residence has been listed as Nomini Bay, Potomac River, Westmoreland County, Virginia. On Herring Branch of Nomini River. London merchant, and master of the ship Mayflower. Settled in VA in 1668, married in 1669. Had plantation of 1505 acres, 27 slaves, and 100 head of cattle. The Historical Atlas of Westmoreland County, VA by Eaton, 1942(Archives Library Ref. 975 .524, Ea83, Oversized Collection) Contains a map which shows Daniel Hutt's plantation. He originally patented 875acres on June 5, 1666, and patented other lands later. On this land he also built a mill on Cos Cos Creek. After marrying Temperance Gerard in 1669, his will was prove d in 1674. He had two children, Ann and son Gerard. Widow subsequently married a merchant, one John Crabbe. Daniel was the "Emigrant Hutt" and the family figured frequently in the history of the country. The reference book, Cavaliers and Pioneers, Vol. 2: 1666-1695,"Abstracts of Land Patents and Grants," 1977 Records Lt. Col. John Washington (great-grandfather to President George Washington) as purchasing 450 acres of land adjacent to Daniel Hutt (on south side of Potomac River in Nomini Bay, Westmoreland County).
