Best Answer

The Viking settlers (let's go a-viking!) of ancient Scotland were the ancestors of the Hutchins family. It is derived from Huchon, a shortened form of Hugh. Although spelling varies widely (MacQuestion is one of them...) they are known to have held a family seat since way-ancient times in Ross-shire.

Some subsequently moved to Ireland, then on to eastern coastlands of Canada and the US, but others are known to have moved to Barbados in the mid-1600s.
