CUTTING This is one of the English families which came to America in the period following the Puritan emigration, but must nevertheless be credited with enterprise and energy. The conditions prevailing at the time of the Pilgrims must seem appalling even to the stoutest hearts, and one can readily see that it requires much enterprise at any time for one to cross three thousand miles of ocean, leaving behind friends and ties of every association, to make a beginning in a new world.

(I) Richard Cutting, immigrant ancestor of this line, was admitted freeman April 18, 1690, in Watertown, Massachusetts, where he settled about 1640. He was a wheelwright by occupation.

His son John and his daughter Sarah, wife of John Barnard, died before the date of the will.

(II) Zachariah, son of Richard Cutting, was born about 1645, in Watertown, and lived there many years. He sold land there in 1709, which indicates that he moved from the town, and no record of his death is found. The name of his wife was Sarah (???).

(III) Zachariah (2), son of Zachariah (1) Cutting, was born about 1670, in Watertown, and probably passed his life there. The name of his first wife is not on record. He married (second). May 5, 1701, Elizabeth Wellington, born April 27, 1685, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Strait) Wellington, of Watertown. His first wife was the mother of Jonas, Sarah (died young), and Lydia; the second wife, of Elizabeth, Susannah and Sarah.

(VII) Francis Cutting, doubtless a grandson of Francis, and son probably of Francis Jr., was born in the vicinity of Croydon or Claremont, New Hampshire, about 1790 (not shown in New Hampshire records). He married, May 4, 1817, in Croydon, Keziah Hudson. Benjamin Cutting, a son of Francis (V), settled in Croydon and served in the revolution.

CUTTING ANCESTRY

CAPTAIN JOHN CUTTING of Watertown, Mass., 1636; afterwards at Charlestown, thence removed to Newbury, Mass., about 1642, had Sarah, who married James Brown and Mary who married Nov. 9, 1657, Samuel Novely. He made 13 voyages and brought many, very many, passengers from England. He died Nov. 29, 1650; his widow Mary, married (second) John Miller, and she died March 6, 1667. Also had son John Cutting of Boston, 1665. Sarah b. 1625, d. Nov. 4, 1685.

WILLIAM CUTTING, a passenger on the "Elizabeth" from Ipswich, England, 1634, aged 26. It may be asked if he were related to Richard who came in the same ship with him, or to Capt. John who was Master of the "Francis" which sailed on the same day, from the same port, and both reached Boston, Mass., the same day, without loss of any passengers. Yet where the asnwer will come from or what it will be, is beyond conjecture.

RICHARD CUTTING, born in England in 1623. When only eleven years of age, Richard Cutting set sail in the ship "Elizabeth," which left Ipswich, England, in 1634, and upon his arrival in Boston harbor he remained in that town for some time, but subsequently settled in Waltham, Massachusetts, where he was admitted a freeman in 1690, and died in 1696 at the age of seventy-three years. Died March 21, 1695/6. He was a wheelwright at Watertown.

NOTE: If he was 11 yrs. old when he came in 1634, as given in Shipping list of the "Elizabeth," he was born in 1623 and died 1695/6; he was about 73 years of age when he died (A. M. C. R.).

His will dated June 24, 1694, mentions sons Zachariah and James, daughters Susan, Nucom (Newcombe) and Lydia Spring; grand-children, John Cutting and Elizabeth Barnard. Inventory 185ś, 17 shillings. The births of only three of his children are recorded."
