Early European settlers in the American colonies were mostly farmers and craftsmen. They had to work hard to provide daily neccesities for themselves.

While an infant he was adopted into the family of Deacon Nathaniel Ingersoll, whose only child had died, and brought up by him as a son. He lived with Mr. Ingersoll until he was about twenty-one years of age, at which time his foster father conveyed to him by deed of gift ten acres of upland and three of meadow,

October 2, 1691. Deacon Ingersoll, in his will made in 1719. bequeathed to Benjamin Hutchinson,

in consideration of the great help he had been while living with him, and after he had left,

all the remaining part of his whole estate, real and personal, after making provision for the remainder of his family.
