DALPHON HUTCHINGS, who was born eight miles from Charleston, Clark county, Ind., Oct. 5, 1818, spent all his life in his native State. Francis Hutchings, his father, was born in Maryland, but was reared in Virginia, where he married Elizabeth Turner, a member of an old Virginia family. Soon after their marriage they removed to Kentucky, where their first child, Bushrod, was born in 1812. A few years later they entered what was then the Territory of Indiana, where, in Clark county, Mr. Hutchings cleared a farm; later, however, they removed to Hendricks county, where they spent the rest of their lives on a farm, Mr. Hutchings passing away in his sixty-sixth year. His widow long survived, and died at the age of ninety-two. Mr. Hutchings was a man of high character, and though born and reared in a slave community, was a Whig, and a pronounced opponent of slavery as a great moral wrong. In religion both he and his wife were members of the Baptist Church in their later days, and still later were members of the Christian Church.
Mr. and Mrs. Francis Hutchings were the parents of fourteen children, the last two survivors having been Dalphon; and Mrs. Lucinda Robeson, of Iowa, who died in 1903. Dalphon Hutchings lived at the homestead until 1839. On Oct. 22, 1840, he married Elizabeth Anderson, who died April 2, 1856.
Mr. Hutchings was again married Nov. 5, 1857, to Nancy Star, who died Feb. 24, 1861.
He was married (third) to Mrs. Ellen (Greenled) Markin, who died several years ago.
Mr. Hutchings's children were: Martha E.; John D.; Sarah E.; Mary E.; Maria; Emma (deceased), and Nellie (twins); and William Hampton (died in infancy).
Dalphon Hutchings spent the active years of his life in farming, and after 1856 he lived in Indianapolis. Well did he remember Indiana when it was very largely a howling wilderness, and he watched its slow growth and development into an inland empire, becoming one of the wealthiest, proudest and most prosperous of the sisterhood of States. Indiana was admitted into the Union but two years before he was born, so that the story of his life would run close with the development and progress of the State. Mr. Hutchings had his troubles, but was remarkably well-preserved for a man of his advanced years. In the early days he was a Whig and voted for Gen. Harrison in 1840, but after the formation of the party he was a Republican. Like his parents he was a Baptist in the early days, but for many years before his death he was a Methodist. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him, and passed his declining years in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Billingsley, of Indianapolis. His death occurred in February, 1904, when he was aged eighty-five years.
