JOHN1 NUTTING AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS

Contributed by Mrs. May Belle (Bennett) Avery, Lincoln, Nebraska.

   I. JOHN1 NUTTING was probably the son of John and Elizabeth (Rawlings) Nutting of Erwarton, county Suffolk, England. He married, August 28, 1650, Woburn, Massachusetts, Sarah Iggledon, whose father, Stephen Iggledon, had died in 1638 on the voyage to America, leaving the mother with two small daughters. The mother, Mrs. Jane Iggledon, married, secondly, William Britton, who died May 3, 1655, leaving his widow with two sons. She married thirdly, Isaac Cole of Charleston, who died June 10, 1674. The widow, Sarah Nutting's mother, died at Woburn, March 10, 1687. Before 1655 John Nutting moved to Chelmsford and by 1663 he had settled at Groton, where he was an original proprietor with a 17 acre right. His house was one of the five used as a garrison house for protection from the Indians. This garrison house was taken by the Indians in their attack on Groton, March 13, 1676, and it is believed that he was killed at that time. His family fled to Concord, some of the sons returning later. Sarah Nutting seems to have spent the remainder of her life at Woburn.(a)

   V. WILLIAM5 NUTTING (William4, Jonathan3, John2-1) was born July 10, 1752, at Groton, Massachusetts, where he lived all his life. At the time of the Lexington alarm he was a corporal in Capt. Asa Lawrence's company, and he served at various other times during the Revolution. He married, December 31, 1778, Mrs. Susanna (French) Danforth(f), daughter of Col. Joseph and Rebecca French, who was born at Dunstable, October 16, 1757. She died, February 12, 1800, and that same year he married, secondly, Mrs. Mary (Barrett) Hubbard of New Ipswich, New Hampshire(g). William Nutting was a farmer, although he showed ability along other lines. When potatoes were introduced into New England he was one of the first to raise them at Groton. To increase the slender income of a farmer, he taught school and made shoes during the winter. The shoes were peddled in other communities, sometimes in northern New Hampshire and Vermont. He liked music, composed tunes to hymns, and made himself a bass viol that he sometimes played. When vaccination for small pox was introduced into Massachusetts, his own family was vaccinated and then small pox patients were kept in his home to test immunity. William Nutting died at Groton, April 18, 1832, his wife surviving till June 16, 1834. She died at the age of 76 years.(h)

DAKOTA COUNTY, NEBRASKA, CENSUS 1856.

   In 1856 what is now Dixon County was a part of Dakota County. This enumeration was supposed to have been taken by Stephen Decatur, who certified as to the correctness of the returns, Aug. 30, 1856. An examination of the manuscript reveals that a part of the enumeration was made by some one else.
