Compiled by FLORENCE McCUTCHEON l\fcKEE, (MRS. S. W.) 1931 COIIMONWJ!il.TH PBINTI:-CC COMPUT Grand Rapide, Michigan THE McCUTCHEON (CUTCHEON) RECORDS INTRODUCTION The compiler of this McCutcheon (Cutcheon) family history desires to acknowledge her indebtedness to her father, Lewis M. Cutcheon, and his youngest brother, General Byron M. Cutcheon. Lewis M. Cutcheon kept a diary and in 1849, on a visit to his father, transcribed many family records. Byron M. Cutcheon left to his son, Charles· T. M. Cutcheon, of Washington, D. C., several volumes of written family histories. From these the compiler has drawn much essential information. She has, nevertheless, proved all that could be proven by histories, vital records of towns, churches, probate and land records. The title of this book requires some explanation. Originally, HMcCutcheon .,., was the name of the family which went from Dum, fries, Scotland, to near Londonderry, Ireland, and from there came to New England. After Dr. Lewis McCutcheon graduated from the University of New York City, he traveled and lectured with Dr. Calvin Cutter, a once·,noted physiologist, and for reasons of professional convenience, then and always afterwards, wrote his name 1.•Lewis M. Cutcheon. '' Three of his younger brothers, who at different times were associated with him, followed his example, writing their names Franklin M. Cutcheon, Sullivan M. Cutcheon and Byron M. Cutcheon, respectively. In later years some of their descendants again have used the name uMcCutcheon.~' Hence, the necessity of the title ~~McCutcheon (Cutcheon) Fan1ily Records." Ample opportunity has been given to all living members of the family to furnish their family records and to include their mothers" ancestries as well, but few have sent such ancestries to the compiler. As a labor of love for her aunt, Marie Amnie Warner (Mrs. B. M. Cutcheon), the compiler has traced Mrs. Cutcheon"s ancestry to the immigrant ancestor on all lines and has proven records for membership in Mayflower Descendants Society. She also has in, serted her own mother"s records, tracing to George Carr, Founder and Patriot of Salisbury, Mass. 4 THE McCUTCHEON (CUTCHEON) RECORDS The greatest care to avoid mistakes has been taken and mem-­ bers of each branch have been given copy to correct. "~New Hampshire Genealogies,"" the "I.Granite Monthly/" ""History of Old Chester,'" by Benjamin Chase, all pertinent published Genealogies, Savage's ""Genealogical Dictionary,"" ""The New Eng, land Historical Genealogical Register,1' ""Mayflower Descendants" Magazine,"' and other authorities have been consulted, especially the old probate and land records now kept in the New Hampshire His-­ torical building at Concord, N. H. The compiler acknowledges a special indebtedness to the Secretary of State"s assistant, Miss Etha Sargent, who made the valuable double,card catalogue of these old records AND ALLIED FAMILIES' ANCESTRY 5 THE McCUTCHEON (CUTCHEON) FAMILY RECORDS Compiled from records kept by Dr. Lewis M. Cutcheon and Gen, eral Byron M. Cutcheon, proven and compiled by Florence McCutcheon McKee (Mrs. S. Wallace) from deeds, pro, bate, church, tombstone and town records, found principally in the State House and the New Hampshire Historical Society at Concord, New Hampshire. The McCutcheon family is Ulster Scotch. They left Scotland in the reign of King James VI (I of England) and removed to the North of Ireland, near Londonderry. From this Presbyterian U>lony came much of the enterprise of New Hampshire. In trying to trace the family back to their Scottish Clan, we received the following letters from C. C. MacClaughry, residing in 1928 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He has made a study of the Scotch plaids and clans. ~ .. The question of tribal descent and alliances in the Highlands of Scotland is sometimes most perplexing, because of the many changes which war and poverty brought about. Theref ore, there are various origins given various families, especially of broken clans, which, while anciently they have been powerful and possessed chiefs descended from some known ancestor, who gave them their patronymic, have in the later centuries attached themselves as fol, lowers to some powerful chief of surviving and successful cians. Thus some authorities, as Mr. Frank Adams, who in 1896 pub, lished his work on the clans entitled, 4,What is My Tartan, attributed the name of McCutcheon to the McLeods of Assynt; 6 THE McCUTCHEON (CUTCHEON) RECORDS while other writers call the McCutcheons a sept of the great clan McDonald. Both may be right, each taken from his own view, point. They may have taken the protection of the McLeods of Assynt in troublous times, that is a portion of them may; but I find that Mac,an--t--siomach, who was a contributor to the ~Celtic Monthly,' a Gaelic,English publication which flourished in Glasgow many years, claims that the McHutcheons or McCutcheons came originally f ram the McDonald. I am inclined to believe that Mc, an,t--siomach is correct in his claim. HMr. Adams, while a student of Highland antiquities, has for many years ( since 1900) been a factor in a large co:ff ee company, or plantation, in the Island of Java. The other, who calls himself Mac,an,t,siomach, has lived in Scotland, and to my observation was a deeper and more accurate student of such matters. He also enjoyed the real access to ancient records into which he went with great care and thoroughness. · So, while the later alliances of the McCutcheons is undoubtedly given to the ancient branch of the great clan Lead, I believe that they originated among the Mc, Donalds.', Second letter of C. C. MacClaughry to Mrs. F. McKee: ~~r find that McHutcheon and McCutcheon are one and the same. The name is a double patronymic. Mac means son. Hutcheon means a son of Hugh of Eoghn the Gaelic; in English, the son of Hugh. You belong to the Mcleods of Assynt, one of the principal septs of the clan McLeod. It is a branch of the McLeods of Lewis. Your distinctive family, then, originated on the mainland of Scot, land and around Loch Assynt, which is in the western part of Scotland, latitude 56 degrees. The plaid, also the coat,of ,arms, is the same as that of the McLeods. This particular branch of the McCutcheon family came from the mainland of Scotland, living for a time in the north of Ireland during the reign of King James VII; then they came to Ne,v Hampshire and settled Londonderry or Derry, as often called, abcut the year 1719."' AND ALLIED FAMILIES. ANCESTRY 7- Lewis and Byron M. Cutcheon obtained their first information regarding the early history of their ancestors from two older cousins. One letter from Betsey Ayer Ingalls, daughter of Judith McCutcheon, who married Capt. John Ayer of Bristol, N. H. She wrote, 1885', from Manchester, N. H. One letter from Lyman Marden, son of Jane McCutcheon, who married William Jonathan Marden, and lived in Haverhill, N. H. He wrote in 1887. The letters contain about the same information, only Lyman gave an interesting account of the early trials of Phaedris McCutcheon, Jr., to obtain an education, when left without parents and only one sister, in care of an uncle, who bound Phaedris out to a man by the name of Bartlett. When one·' day Mr. Bartlett was away from home, Phaedris, who was not allowed to attend school as the Bart, lett children were, went that half day just to see what children did at school. When Bartlett came home he took to horsewhipping Phaedris, who took the whip from him and gave him a whipping that confined him to the bed, and Phaedris ran away to HDerry," N. H. From there he went to Pembroke, where he married Ann Brown. His sister married -- Cochran. The letter of Betsey Ayer Ingalls to Byron M. Cutcheon, under date of Nov. 13, 1885, Manchester, is as follows: ""Dear Cousin: You inquire the order of Grandfather Mc, Cutcheon's children: Joseph, married Abby Colby; Mary, married William Fogg; John, did not marry; Jane, married Jonathan Mar, den; Judith, married John Ayer; James, married Hannah Tripp; Sam, was never married, he was drowned when but twenty years old. Grandfather was very patriotic; was a strong Democrat. Grand-­ father was born in Scotland and came with his parents to Hadley, Mass. They died with the spotted fever and left him and one sister to the care of an uncle. (This may have been the John Mc, Cutcheon whose deed I found in Concord, N. H.-F. McKee.) He 8 THE McCUTCHEON (CUTCHEON) RECORDS---- came to Derry when thirteen years old. Grandfather and his sister went to Pembroke when he was about eighteen years old. She was shortly married to Mr. Cochran (whose descendants have not been traced) . ""Grandfather enlisted in the Revolutionary War and remained in it until peace was declared. He had a pension as long as he lived. I think he was ninety-six years old when he died. I think Grandmotber•s parents came from the North of Ireland (History of Chester says Scotland-F. McKee), located themselves on what is now the Hookset Road, then called Chester. She was born on a farm just below the Nathaniel Head neighborhood, which is be, tween Hookset and Suncook and is still occupied by descendants of Nataniel Head, former governor of N.

A log boom defense was placed in the river between the two forts. The fort was garrisoned by 180 men under the command of Captain Titus Salter from 1775-78. The garrison was also responsible for the security of the powder magazine in Portsmouth. The fort was designed by Captain Ezekiel Worthen, who also designed Fort Sullivan and the Clark's Point (Shaw’s Hill) Redoubt on New Castle Island, and who, with the rank of Major, later replaced General Sullivan as the overall commander of the Portsmouth harbor defenses. Peirce's Island was renamed "Isle of Washington" in 1776, in honor of General George Washington, who was then commander of the Army of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the siege of Boston. The fort was repaired and regarrisoned in 1814-15 during the War of 1812 when British warships blockaded the New England coast. The fort was in ruins by 1850, and was probably not used at all during the Civil War.

The task of the genealogist, in groping his way amid the dusty records of the past, is much like that of the American Indian, in pursuing an ob- scure trail through a tangled wilderness. An acute faculty of perception, and a keen and practised eye, must note and scrutinize every obscure foot- print, every rustled leaf, every bent twig ;—now progressing rapidly under a clear light, and guided by sure tokens; and anon, suddenly arrested by a total absence of all further signs, and forced hopelessly to abandon the trail, long and patiently pursued ; until perchance again, some new and unexpected way-mark greets his eye, inspiring fresh pursuit.

  • Me. Mcciary Family
    A SKETCH COVERING FOUR GENERATIONS OF ......... me. McCiary Family. BEGIXXI~G WITII THE LvE\HGRATION OF ANDREW l\1cCLARY FROM lTLSTER IN 1726, AND ENDING WITH THE DEATH OF i\NDRE\V MCCLARY, OF PE.\CHAM, VT., IN r 869. _. HIS little sketch was commenced in obedience T to an idle whim, thinking to gratify the curi­ osity of some in our widely scattered family, but I have found the work both pleasant and profitable, and I trust it may add somewhat to the pleasure of those for whom it is written. I recently heard the Scotch-Irish defined as "Irishmen who were ashamed of their fellow coun­ trymen." I found on inquiry that some among the Scotch-Irish, themselves, had only a vague and misty idea of the true facts relative to their origin. The desire to correct a popular misapprehension and to incite in our own• family some little pride of ances­ try is my apology for inserting in this family~ sketch a rather lengthy chapter of Scotch-Irish history. For many of the facts relative to the early his­ tory of the family I am indebted to Hon. John C. French of Manchester, who is entitled to our thanks for his courtesy and interest. HORACE P. McCLARY. "WINDSOR, VT., March r, 1896. This house located at Epsom, N. H., in which the old immigrant Andrew ::\IcClary spent the last years of his life, is one of the landmarks of southern New Hampshire.
