Notes for Benjamin HUTTON

---

Benjamin Hutton and his family resided in Southwark, where he died August 20, 1809. His widow, Rebecca Plumstead Hutton, removed later to Burlington, New Jersey, died there July 5, 1841, and was buried at St. Peters, Philadelphia. She was a strikingly handsome woman, tall, slender and dignified, and of a very kindly and benevolent disposition. During the yellow fever scourge of 1798, when nearly all those who could afford a refuge elsewhere fled in terror from the city, she remained to care for the deserted sick, and many a fever-stricken victim had reason to bless as an angel of mercy the stately lady in her spotless white cap and lace neckerchief, who brought hope and cheer to their deserted bedsides.
