One of five judges in Massachusetts at the time of the American Revolution, he remained loyal to Britain. He was a younger brother of Loyalist Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson. He was a graduate of Harvard University (1743). He escaped Boston as a loyalist in 1776 and settled in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He took the probate records of Suffolk Co. where he was Judge of Probate and never released them until 1784, when Benjamin Kent was able to procure their surrender.
