Both his parents, Peter Hutchison and Mary Craig Miller, were natives of Scotland.
A Register of the Officers and Students of the University of Alabama, 1831-1901 (1901) p.201 shows he was a student in 1863 and gives the birthdate in 1847 above; though the tombstone says 1849 and other references say 1848, this date is believed correct.
The 1901 reference describes him as a Merchandise Broker and Manufacturer's Agent.
He married Tracie Elizabeth Magruder at Tuskeegee Nov. 1, 1873.
They were living at Montrose, Baldwin County, Alabama, when their son Miller Reese Hutchison was born. The family moved to Mobile soon after 1880 and lived at 908 Government Street for several years, the Roberts-Pillans house, which they rented from Dr. Edmund Pendleton Gaines and wife Sarah Jane Toulmin Gaines (Gulfport Daily Herald, April 14, 1915, p.4). U.S. Congressman Thomas Hord Herndon was living there in 1880 and probably died there (March 28, 1883), so the Hutchisons probably moved there after March 1883.
Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison, inventor of the hearing aid, among other things, was educated in "the private schools of Mobile, Ala., from 1883-1889" and at Marion Military Institute, Marion, Ala., (1889-91), Spring Hill (Ala.) College, (1891-92), the University Military Institute (Mobile) (1892-95), finally completing his collegiate studies at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, now Auburn University (1895-97). He took out his first patent at age 16 (1892). He later became Engineering Advisor to Thomas A. Edison.
