Very little is known about Benjamin Hutto, Sr. except that he was born before 1755, married about 1773, and was living in Orangeburg County, South Carolina between at least 1790 and 1810. Although his age might suggest service in the Revolutionary War, the only Benjamin Hutto reported to have served in South Carolina is reported to have died during the war, and thus cannot be the same individual. Although the precise connection has yet to be worked out, Benjamin was almost certainly a grandson of the apical ancestor of all Huttos in America, Isaac Hutto, who was born as Isaac Otto in the Palatine region of Germany in 1695, and who immigrated to South Carolina in 1735, dying near Orangeburgh on August 15, 1752.
Benjamin Hutto and his wife had perhaps six children, listed below based strictly on imprecise census records. Benjamin disappeared from the census after 1810, although the death date of neither him nor his wife is known.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Thanks to Gene Jeffries and Fred Hutto for their help in sorting out some of the possibilities (and impossibilities) regarding the earliest Hutto generations in South Carolina. An excellent overview of what is currently known about Isaac Hutto's descendants is online at Gene Jeffries' web page.
