I am currently working on a book about Timothy Hutchinson and his family. Four years in and over 400 pages and it is time to edit and trim it down. I am not a genealogist but a geologist (retired) who loves puzzles and mysteries. I am following a three prong approach using a story line for flow and interaction, original documents to come up with my own ideas using hard data and deed, lots and lots of deeds. To achieve my story line I followed over 100 individuals over three generations. But what I found were stories from manuscript files full of intrigue, mysterious behavior and partnerships. From American royalty to murder, from the witch trials to the pine tree riots and earnest Puritans to gun toting Quakers. Relationships that illuminate the history of Timothy Hutchinson

Biography

I am a retired geologist who enjoys solving puzzles and mysteries. My family has done extensive work on many of the family lines so I grew up around fan charts and scrapbooks. An attempt at genealogy went well with a short story on my ancestor Isaac W Taylor and his experience during the War of 1812 . When the pandemic hit I took on Timothy Hutchinson who has been a brick wall for hundreds of years. I am writing a book on Timothy not specifically as a genealogy but as historical fiction based on primary documentation and to a lessor degree secondary sources.

Hi, William.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Well, I think I am ok. I find some of the entries a bit hard to follow but I think I did OK filling in some of my direct Hutchinson line. I finally came to people who have used the person of interest in their wikitree account and I connected to them but found that I have limited ability to correct even simple spelling errors. A great deal of my information is pre 1700 so I need that certification and I am walking myself through those steps.

Responding to your Comment left on the Quakers Project Home Page: "1690 to 1740 when the ideals of the Quakers fluctuated a lot between groups of believers." I think you will get a better range of response if you leave questions in the G2G forum (just look in the drop down menu under My WikiTree and select G2G Feed) and use the "tag" Quakers if the question is Quaker related. As with any religious society, there were and are differing opinions on many points and this holds true for military service in the context of Quakers. Many Quakers were disowned for military service. Many were welcomed back after serving. There were a remarkable number of non-Quakers who became Quaker following military service primarily due to the peace doctrine.

If you are looking for a general discussion of Quaker beliefs over time and within historical context, a number are available. I find one of the more interesting to be "The Friendly Virginians, America's First Quakers" by Jay Worrall, Jr. (1994, Iberian Publishing, I believe there was a subsequent edition).

Edit: adding that it is important to understand what "disowning" means in Quakerdom as it is very different than that found in other religious societies, it is not a shunning. See https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1400595/understanding-quaker-disownment?show=1400595#q1400595
