Note for:   Samuel McNUTT,   5 NOV 1770 -          Index

---

Note:   Samuel A. McNutt was born in 1799 in Onslow. In 1822, he married Sarah
Lynds, the sister of his Uncle Gideon's wife and granddaughter of Jacob
Lynds, an Ulster Scot who brought his family to New Hampshire in 1756,
and thence to Nova Scotia in 1761. Samuel A. must have been a tennant
farmer, since his children were born in three different Nova Scotia towns
- Onslow, River John, and Pictou. In about 1850, he migrated to New
Bedford, Mass., with his wife and 3 daughters and 3 sons.

Jacob Lynds McNutt, our grandfather, born in North River, N.S., in 1843,
and two of his brothers must have served on whaling ships sailing out of
New Bedford. His two older brothers, Samuel Jr., and George were killed
in whaling ship accidents, and Jacob had sailed to Alaska by the time he
was eighteen. Jacob served in the Union Army during the latter part of
the Civil War. In 1869, at Fairhaven, Jacob married Adeline Gifford
Damon, a daughter of Barnard Damon, of French descent and Mary Cunningham
Millard, of Dighton, Mass. Jacob and his family moved to Saugus, Mass.,
around 1890, and worked in Lynn shoe factories. He never owned property
in Saugus, and lived in at least six different rented homes in the East
Saugus and Cliftondale sections of the town.

Edward Damon McNutt, our father, was born in New Bedford in 1880,
graduated from Saugus High School and worked in Boston, first as a
machinist, then as a foreman for a small surgical instrument
manufacturing and distributing company. In 1905, he married Minnie
Elizabeth Fiske, daughter of Willard Luke Fiske and Jennie Isabel
Williams, both of Saugus. Edward purchased a home on Essex St., near the
Cliftondale railroad station in 1905. In 1914 the Essex St. home was
exchanged for a newly built home on Birch St., which was retained unitl
1950 after all the family had grown up. There were 3 daughters and 5 sons.
