Edward Hutchinson (around May 28, 1613 - August 19th, 1675, Marlborough, Massachusetts)[1] was the oldest son of the founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony William Hutchinson and the dissident minister Anne Hutchinson.[2]
Edward had two wives, Katherine Hemby and Abigail Vermaies, whom he married after Katherine's death in 1650. He had seven children with Katherine and four with Abigail. Unlike his parents, Edward managed to get along with Puritan religious authorities and for most of his life lived in Boston. However, he was a big proponent of religious toleration and opposed the persecution of Quakers and Baptists.[2]
He was made a captain of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1657 and took part in King Philip's War in 1665. He was co-captain (along with Cpt. Thomas Wheeler) of an expedition to negotiate with the Nipmuc sachem Muttawmp and unwittingly led him men into an ambush in what became known as Wheeler's Surprise. In this battle he was seriously wounded and died several weeks afterward.
