Houchins's book (pp689-721).......My book HUGH HUTCHINS OF OLD ENGLAND traces the Hutchins name back to 1276 in England.  The

name started as "Hugh" and over time changed to "Huchin" (little Hugh).  Due to the various languague accents in Engaland,

this name went through many changes and in the 1500's was often written "Houchin", etc.  Most families changed their name

(the family didn't, the public record did) to Hutchins, etc and later to Hutchings.  In America the Howhin name was often

used in early records but almost all later became Hutchins, except for your Goochland [County] Virginia group which

continued to use the older spelling.  Also the spelling Hudgins was also used...Yes, they are all related (but how and

when is not known) to people in the 1200-1300 named Hugh." per Jun 1996 letter from Jack Hutchins.
