His family resided at Westham (Burton Chronicles of Colonial Virginia),
on the western side of what is now the city of Richmond. His first
appearance in the records was in 1719 when he was appointed road surveyor
"from William Gordons to Tuckahoe Bridge."
28 September 1730, under the name Hutchinson Burton, he was granted land
in Goochland Co., VA, "400 acres on the north side of Appamattox River
adjoing Frederick Cox &c"; "400 acres on the North side Appamattox River
beginning at the mouth of Letalone Creek"; and "400 acres on the north

On Aug. 1, 1735, he purchased 400 additional acres on the north side of
James river "adjoing. Colo. Wm. Randolph, his own &c. thence &c. on the

acres, "begg. &c. standing South side Westham Creek in Mr. Randolphs
line" (Lib. of VA) and another plot of 191 acres "adjoing the Land of
