Hutcheson, David
The 'wee Davock' of the poem 'The Inventory', subtitled 'In answer to a Mandate by the Surveyor of Taxes'. "For men, I've three mischievous boys,
Run-deils for rantin' and' for noise;
A gaudsman ane, a thrasher t'other
Wee Davoc hauds the nowt in"
Hutcheson, the orphan son of a Lochlea ploughman, lived with Burns at Lochlea farm. The poet was said to have been especially kind to this child, teaching him English, and sometimes carrying him home on his shoulder from the fields. He took care of Hutcheson until the boy was able to earn his own living.
