By virtue of his stated profession as being cabinet maker, I believe
this THOMAS HUTCHINSON to be the same as, or father or uncle to, the
THOMAS HUTCHINSON who died c. 1783 who willed his property to the ELFE
family.  THOMAS ELFE, whose business records are among the only or few
records extant for a cabinetmaker/carpenter of colonial Charleston, is
thus the best-known furniture maker of this era.  THOMAS ELFE lived on
Queen Street in Charleston, as did supposedly PETER DUBOIS, also a
cabinetmaker/carpenter.  PETER DUBOIS m. ANNE CLARKSON CARNE, daughter
of JOHN CARNE and MARY HUTCHINSON.  I am trying to tie MARY in with
THOMAS, and thus with RIBTON HUTCHINSON, the latter two being mentioned
below.  Any/all help appreciated!
