General Notes: Husband - Matthias Hutman

---

He was among the earliest settlers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He came from Hesse Cassel, Germany, as far back as 1780. His homestead was on Front street, between Chestnut and Mulberry streets. Soon after he came he tried to purchase some land of John Harris, but the latter refused because Mr. Hutman had only Continental money; succeeding afterwards in having his money exchanged he bought the Front street property. Mr. Hutman's business was that of a tailor. On one occasion Mr. Harris offered him the square of ground later the location of the Bolton House, in exchange for clothing, but Mr. Hutman declined the exchange, considering the ground too swampy.
