About us
Many of us have been searching the Hutto family name for years, and even though we often have a gap in our lines due to the burning of the courthouse in Orangeburg County SC during the Civil War, we all still believe we go back to Isaac Hutto.
The Hutto's had spread out from SC to GA, AL and MS in the earliest days then eventually spread out all over the US.
In my research, the Hutto's have always traced back to SC no matter where I found them or in which census.
Many of us also believe that our Hutto family, which had previous spellings of Hottow, Hotto, etc., had come to the US from Germany or Switzerland via Rotterdam. By doing this project our dna can put us into a Haplo group. The results can also be compared against other names to see what other families we could be closely related to.
UPDATE 1/8/2017: For the last 2 years I have been working on the ancestry and have found not only the origins of the Hutto family name but I also take it back to the middle 1600's. This is not guesswork or a maybe, this is a definitive answer. I have even contacted one of the researchers who I worked with back in the 1980s and they concur that the information I found is correct. I will do my best to release all of my records at the end of this year, it takes time to transcribe and translate these records. I also have the origins and surname of Isaac's wife, Maria Catharina as well as their marriage record and the baptisms of 3 out the 4 oldest children (all except Sarah). I am sorry this is taking me so long to release this information, but I will tell you that the information as it exists as speculation on the internet is not correct. I am dotting the i's and crossing the t's before I release this information because I do not want there to be any doubt. In the meantime, I hope you will all clean up your online information for future generations and delete any misinformation.
For Isaac, the name was not Otto, or Ott or anything close to that. I think you will all be pleasantly surprised. I remember guessing back in the early 2000s what I suspected the name to be and I only missed it by 1 letter.
As for Maria Catharina. She was not a Mell who married her cousin Henry Mell (Möll) after Isaac's death. They were not even from the same area, so definitely not cousins. She also was not a von Stern. I do not know how many times I asked for a source for that, but no one ever had one.
I am also getting assistance in trying to tie up loose ends of the early generations of Isaac's descendants, as previously mentioned, the civil war caused a major loss in the records of Orangeburg. Reviewing surveys and land records will help us to clear up some of those lines (mine included)
