Portrait of Fanny Hutchinson. This portrait may have been painted after she died which was is 1840. Artist: Roswell Tenney Smith (1825-1901) Part of a collection of six half-portraits, each painted in oil on canvas, are of Jerome Hutchinson (1763-1848) and his wife Content Smith Hutchinson (1764-1858); their daughters Fanny (1788-1840) and Sarah (1793-1877); Sarah’s husband William Loveland (1784-1862) and their son Joseph Talcott Loveland (1818-1889). Jerome Hutchinson, was the son of John and Mary ("Polly") Hutchinson. The Hutchinsons and the Messengers were the first two families to winter in Norwich 1775-76 in a log hut by the present-day Ledyard Bridge. Almost one year later, Jerome’s sister, Lydia, was born to John and Polly, the first birth in Norwich. The Lovelands arrived in 1779, and over the years, the two families played major roles in the development and prosperity of Norwich. Both William and his son Joseph Talcott Loveland, described as model farmers of high integrity, lived in the original family homestead on Loveland Road and served in the state legislature. |
