++There is a mistake relative to Hannah Hutchins. The descendants of Samuel Hutchins, and of John Burbank, assert that her first husband was Lemuel Perkins, and her second, John Bur. bank; and the offspring of Joshua Walker are equally confident that her husbands were George Perkins and Joshua Walker. There must be a mistake as to her christian name; or the Hannah Hutchins who married Joshua Walker, must have belonged to another family. The name of George Perkins is to be found on the town records, but that of Lemuel is not.
