I am looking for information on George Odell Hutson and Elizabeth Beaver Hutson. George is also the son of Alexander Hutson and Lucy Ann Odell. I want to find out what happened between George and Elizabeth. She is married to a "Murray" as of 1867 and a widow by 1880. Any ideas or further info on this line would really be appreciated. By the way, I was able to find this on Alexander.....HUTSON, ALEXANDER—Sec. 6, P.O. Luzerne. Was born in Baltimore county, Maryland, October 9, 1796, and there lived until 1842, when he came to Johnson county, Iowa, and rented a farm on Old Man’s Creek, seven miles south of Iowa City. He resided on that place until the spring 1846, when he went to Iowa county and purchased the claim on a large tract of land, in what is now known as Cono township. He entered the most of the claim he purchased and afterward sold all but 276 acres. All the improvements on his land when he purchased it were 20 acres broken and the logs laid up for a cabin, which he finished in the fall and moved into it in the spring of 1847. There were only two cabins beside his own in Cono township at that time; those of William Foster and A.D. Stephen. The next spring he broke 20 acres more and enclosed all he had broken, i.e. 40 acres, with a rail fence. He continued his improvements yearly until all his tillable land was broken and fenced and he had built him a good house, barn and sheds and had planted an orchard, shade and ornamental trees, which now beautify the place and supply his family with fruit. In 1851 his grain was reaped by the first reaper brought into Iowa county and the only reverse that he met in a thirty years residence on the same farm was the burning of his entire crop by prairie fire that same year. In November of 1822 he married Lucy A. O’Dell, of Baltimore county, Maryland, by whom he had ten children: James L. (of San Juan county, California), Franklin A. (of Boone county, Iowa), George O., Henry C. (of Tama county, Iowa), Mary (wife of Dr. John M. Furnas, of Belle Plaine, Iowa) and Walter J. (of Boone county, Iowa). Two died in infancy and one, the oldest daughter, at the age of nineteen. One son, Joshua E., died in the Union army while stationed at Bird’s Point in Missouri in 1854. Mr. Hutson was a wheelwright by trade, which he abandoned when he came West. He died at his home in Cono township, March 6, 1875
