~ John Hutchinson ~
~~Sheriff & Mayor of Lincolnshire, England~~
Birth: 1515- Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England
Death: 24 May 1565 in St Mary Parish, Wigford, Lincolnshire, England
Place of Burial: St. Mary le Wigford, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
John, apparently the youngest of the four Hutchinson brothers, was born ca 1515 and buried at Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England on May 24, 1565. From the Corporation Records of London, it appears that he was apprenticed on 23 September 1529, to Edward Atkinson, of the city of London, glover, for seven years, which establishes his birth in about the year 1515.

After his apprenticeship had expired, and like his brother William, he pursued a course to secure the confidence of his fellow citizens and is frequently mentioned as holding minor offices of trust in connection with the business of the Corporation and rising to the dignity of Sheriff of the city, in September 1547. On April 11, 1556, John was elected an Alderman and, in the following September, elevated to a Justice of the Peace for an unexpired term, and on October 2, 1561, that honor was again conferred upon him.

In September 1564, he was elected Mayor of Lincoln for a second time, which office he held at the time of his death, May 24, 1565. He was buried in the church of St. Mary le Wigford, in the city of Lincoln, on the same day, and, as an illustration of the rapidity with which business was sometimes done in those times, the Corporation Records reveal the singular facts that he died at four o'clock in the morning, and that his colleagues in the office, having attended his funeral, elected his successor within sixteen hours after his decease. His will was made on the previous April 21 and its bequests indicate that he had acquired considerable property. He left lands and houses to each of his sons, all of whom he particularly mentions. To his eldest son William, he bequeathed the estate at Whisby, formerly left to him by his brother William, and also the Rectory and Parsonage of Cherry Willingham (near Lincoln), which he had doubtless acquired by purchase. His son Edward and daughter Mary, he particularly commended the kindness of his wife, who was probably their own mother. John Hutchinson had two wives. The name of the first was Margaret and by her, he appears to have had four children. The name of his second wife was Anne.
