James Hutchinson (priest)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rev. Sir James Hutchinson (c.1731-1813) was an Anglican priest in Ireland in the second half of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. [1]

The son of the Right Rev. Doctor Samuel Hutchinson, Bishop of Killala and Achonry, and the great-nephew of the Right Rev. Doctor Francis Hutchinson, author and Bishop of Down and Connor,[2] he was born in County Antrim and educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[3]

He was Archdeacon of Achonry[4] from 1760[5] until his death on 8 March 1813. He was also a prebendary of Ardagh (1760-1766) and of Killanly (1766-1800) in Killala Cathedral,[6] as well as rector of Killashee and Tashinny from 1770 until his death.[7]

His elder brother, Sir Francis Hutchinson, was created 1st Baronet of Castlesallagh in 1782, to which title James succeeded in 1807.[8] The title next passed to their nephew Samuel Synge.
