Rem'd to Lynn, 1836, and built him a residence on that fine eminence
called High Rock. His trade was that of a printer, and also possessed
much mechanical skill. He was the inventor of an improvement on the
air-tight stove, which was highly approved of, and was one of the
original number in their attempt to penetrate the far-famed Pirate's
Cave of Lynn, but without success. (Derby, p. 77)

The songs composed by him are of a very distinctive and original
character, among which are the "Old Granite State," "Good Old Days of
Yore," "Slave's Appeal," the "Congressional Song," and many others.
(Derby, pp. 77-78)

Occupation: Printer & skilled mechanic. (Ramsdell, p. 788)

Resided in Lynn, Mass. (Ramsdell, p. 788)

Visited California, and reached Cincinnati, Ohio, on his return when he
was taken ill and died. (Ramsdell, p. 788)

On Friday afternoon, May 20, the remains of Jesse Hutchinson were
buried from the stone cottage at High Rock, which was built by him six
years before. He was one of the bad off vocalists known as the
Hutchinson brothers, though his duties lay rather in making
arrangements and writing songs than in singing. He was the poet of the
family, had much skill in touching the popular vein, and would, could he
have been persuaded to spend a little more time and thought in
alaborating some of his pieces, have left what would have endured. He
had a social disposition though his temper was impulsive; and he
possessed many eccentricities that were attractive, coupled with sojme
that were not. He had a good printing-office education, had traveled
some, read a great deal, and his mind was well stored with information,
much of which was unavailable in the practical concerns of life. He was
a spiritualist, and, it is said, pledged himself to return, after entering
the spirit land, and convince mankind of the truth of his views. But from
some cause, he appears to have failed to fulfilling his pledge. He died at
Cincinnati, where he had stopped at a water-cure establishment on his
way home from California, in the hope of recovering his health. He was
the father of several children, all of who died youing, and before his own
decease. (_History of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts_, by Alonzo
Lewis and James R. Newhall, John L. Shorey, Boston, 1865, p. 437.)
