Notes for John Strangeways HUTTON
John Strangeways Hutton, who died at the residence of his son in Southwark, 1792, at the reputed age of one hundred and eight years and four months. Later investigations, however, indicate that this was a mistake of some twelve years as his parents, John Hutton and Katharine "Stranguish," obtained their license to marry in New York, October 28, 1695. John Hutton, the elder, was born at Bouresdours, Scotland, and the maternal grandfather, Arthur Strangeways, died in Boston at the age of one hundred and one years. The latter was a landowner in New York in 1674. John Strangeways Hutton was born in New York, and was educated for the sea, and was for some years Lieutenant on a private armed vessel. He married (first) Catharine Cheeseman, by whom he had eight children. Locating in Philadelphia, he married (second) 1735, Anne, daughter of John Van Laer, Jr., by his wife, Priscilla, daughter of William and Ann Preston, of Frankford, and a sister to Amos Preston, an early settler in Buckingham, Bucks county, and the ancestor of the Preston family of Bucks county. John Van Laer, the elder, emigrated from the Duchy of Cleves, Westphalia, about 1685, and located in the Northern Liberties soon after 1700. He was made a member of Common Council, October 6, 1713, and sat in that body until his death in 1722. John S. Hutton had by his second wife, Ann Van Laer, twelve children, making him the father of twenty children in all.
