Dr. Hutchison was a member of the Building Committee for the Peterborough County Court House and its adjoining jail. The court house was built between 1839 and 1840, with the adjoining jail completed in 1842. The court house and St. John's Church, located on the adjacent hill, have often been featured in drawings and paintings throughout the years. There is no doubt they were significant landmarks in the early years of the community.In 1840, the Hutchisons had a daughter named Sarah. Unfortunately, Sarah died three days before her sister Frances was born in 1843. Another daughter, Mary Elizabeth, born 1844, completed the family unit. Martha Hutchison gave birth to eleven children altogether, but only eight reached adulthood.
