I represent Anthony Hutchins. I was a New Jersey native who had been a landowner in North Carolina before coming down to Natchez in British colony of West Florida in 1772. I was the brother of Thomas Hutchins, a West Florida engineer and cartographer. In the fall of 1778, I was elected to represent the Natchez district in the House of Commons for the seventh and last provincial General Assembly. When the American rebel James Willing and his raiders came down the Mississippi, plundering every British plantation along the way, I was not only robbed but arrested and taken to New Orleans as a prisoner. I broke my parole, headed back to my home and proceeded to fire up Loyalist fervor throughout the area. I was hailed as a hero for escaping and I was given a commission as a Lt. Colonel. I am suspected of having incited the rebellion in Baton Rouge after the surrender of Pensacola that gave Bernardo de Gálvez such fits.
