"After some years of farming in Tenn., James C. came to Tex., arriving in Tarrant Co. on the 6th of Nov., 1872, but after a year there, he returned to Tenn., although he came again to Tex. in Dec. 1878, this time locating in Parker Co., a mile and a half South of Springtown. After ten years, he sold his farm there and moved to the farm he had purchased in the meantime, a valuable tract of sixty acres adjoining the village, where he has ever since made his home and he also owns one hundred and ninety acres about one mile from Springtown. From 1884 until 1888, he was engaged in the grocery business in that village, and then for two years, he conducted a hardware and implement store in Weatherford selling that business then to his son, Marcellus Bouregard Hutcheson, and returning to the farm, and with the exception of this short period of commercial life, agriculture has been his life's occupation.

Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Church at Springtown." (This refers to his second wife.)
