The NUTT Family
of Derryfield [Manchester]
New Hampshire
Family Tree (Genealogy)


The following family tree includes the known descendants of WILLIAM NUTT, one of the earliest settlers of Londonderry NH, and later Derryfield [now Manchester] NH.

This is NOT meant to be a comprehensive genealogy of ALL NUTT lines in the United States. I have included all the information I have knowledge of, along with sources (at the bottom). Please do not contact me, asking if I would research your Nutt line. If your line is not here, then I am not aware of it!!

I have done my best to verify the information below, however, I do NOT claim that it is 100% accurate (in other words, use at your own risk, and verify this yourself). This was compiled during many hours of personal research, and may NOT be used in a book or electronic publication that is for SALE or RESALE. Doing so violates copyright law. This information is FREE to descendants/relatives who are using it for their own personal knowledge.

There is a pond in Manchester New Hampshire named after the Nutt family (Nutt's Pond) who used to live in that area. A section of what is now known as Manchester NH was called "Nutfield" in the earliest days of the settlement. The section of South Willow Street near this pond was in early days called Nutts Road.



***First Generation**

William NUTT was born abt 1698 in Londonderry, Ulster, North Ireland and d. 26 Oct 1751 in Chester, Rockingham Co NH. He m. 29 May 1723 in Bradford, Essex Co MA by Rev. Symmes to Jane/Jean COLBATH. She b. abt 1703 in Bradford MA, and died Oct 1771 in St. George, Knox Co, ME. (Her name was spelled in various ways: Galbreath, Galbraith, etc.) She came from Newington NH. William NUTT was a weaver and ran the first fulling mill at Londonderry NH and later owned it. A descendant, Charles Nutt, wrote: "I have studied the English records of the Nutt family and I have about concluded that the ancestors of William-1 Nutt were in Ireland, probably Aghadoney, County Londonderry, for two or three generations, coming there from England. They undoubtedly descended from the family to which King Canute or Knut belonged. Back in 1100 the name was spelled Knut, Knot, Knutte, etc., but by 1300 it was definitely Nutt or Nutte..." [Note: a James and Anna (Haines) McNutt who emigrated about 1720 from the North of Ireland to Newton, Mass. might be related. William named or gave the name James as a middle name to his children]
Children of William & Jane (Colbath) NUTT:
1. John NUTT b: abt. 1723 in Londonderry NH; d. abt 1757 in Chester NH; m. 1750 in Chester NH to Mary Lynn. Had at least one child (NUTT), Jane

Ann --; had 2 children (NUTT): John (b. 1760; m. 5 Apr 1787 in Norwich, New London Co CT to -- and had at least one son, Harvey b. 1810) and Robert (b 1775) [NOTE: separate research shows this very same Robert Nutt of Floyd, Oneida NY as being from Scotland, eventually settling in CT. This line probably needs more research]. What is known is that in 1755 he was on John Goffe's roll for the French and Indian War along with his brother David.

**Second Generation**

Samuel-2 NUTT (William-1) b. Dec 1728 in Londonderry NH; d. 5 June 1808 in Topsham, Orange Co. VT; m. abt 1759 to Elizabeth DICKEY. She b. 1740 in Chester, Rockingham Co NH, and d. 13 Sep 1801 in Newport, Sullivan Co NH. [The Taylor genealogy states "he had seventeen children of whom the following nine, starting with William, were by Elizabeth. No information obtained as to the eight children by his first wife. This cannot be correct]. Samuel Nutt was the ninth settler in Francestown NH, arriving there in 1767, and the first Town Clerk. The first record book of the town, in which is his plain and heavy handwriting, was still extant in 1909. He was a carpenter by trade and with his father owned the first sawmill in Chester NH. The history of Francestown NH states:"In 1767 Samuel Nutt moved here, and settled on the Kingsbury place, near the present New Boston line, the place now occupied by Oliver Pettee. On the "cellar" which seems to have been "prepared" for a considerable time previous, a framed house was erected this year, and so far finished as to be occupied before winter. Mr. Nutt being a carpenter, was like the shoe-maker that went barefoot, doing work for other people at the sacrifice of delaying his own. He came from Derryfield (Manchester), was of Scotch race; was a very useful man in the new community, and was the first town clerk in Francestown [in 1772]. He was tithingman in New Boston in 1770." Also, from the same source, July 22, 1771 he was among 39 men who signed a petition to Gov. John Wentworth requesting the setting off of their area, known as "New Addition" and part of "Society" land into a new township [which was granted as the township of Francestown.]; on Dec 2, 1772 he signed a document with other petitioners proposing a tax on the residents to help build the meeting-house. In Oct 1772 he was chosen one of a committee of 5 to arrange for land for a meeting-house and graveyard. In October 1772 his town tax of 1:8:6 was sent to the constable, John Brown for collection [along with that of many others]. On August 21, 1775 he is among the signers of a document addressed to the Provincial Congress at Exeter regarding disagreement with other local towns on their choice of regimental officers. On April 7, 1777 the town chose a committee of 5 to "receive the accounmpts [accounts] and prisse the turns of the men that Has ben into the Searvice With out aney town bounty," one of whom was Samuel Nutt. In 1788 he is among the list of those purchasing a pew in the meeting-house. Sept 7, 1779 he was appointed one of a committee to set prices of sundry articles. On Feb 4, 1788 he was one of a committee "to take Into Consideration, the Federal Constitution." On Feb 15, 1790 he was one of a committee to "Build a Stage to ordain mr. Bradford [their preacher] on." He was on the tax list of 1793.

An article in the July 20, 1951 issue of the Nashua Telegraph states, "He enjoyed a full life, 75 years, before he died. He moved with his parents to Amherst [NH] as a child, where his father and mother operated a widely known, then of course, Nutt's Tavern. As a young man he went into business early even in his school days, finding employment with Robert Reed, who kept a country store in Amherst. He went to the Amherst schools and then attended Pinkerton Academy at Derry where he completed his formal education. At that time Pinkerton Academy was one of the most widely known schools in New England. He came to Nashua [NH] in 1833 and went to work for Isaac Spalding who operated a hardware store. Mr. Spalding sold out in 1837 and Mr. Nutt having accumulated a small sum, branched out on his own, opening a merchant tailoring establishment... In 1846 he sold out and bought the stock and good will of the successor in the business established by his first employer. For the next 14 years he continued the business at its old stand at the corner of Main and Factory Streets. In 1860 he purchased the property at the southeast corner of Main and Park Streets, and built the block which still bears his name but which is now owned by A.B. Slawsby. Most of the latter day residents of Nashua are largely familiar with his name through the Nutt block. He ran his hardware store from that location until 1889, three years before his death, when he sold out due to failing health. In the years before Nashua became a city, 1846, 1847 and 1848 he served as town clerk. He was director of the Pennichuck State Bank, the First National Bank, the Nashua Light, Heat and Power Company, the Pennichuck Water Company, the Souhegan National Bank of Milford, and a trustee of the City Savings Bank and the New Hampshire Banking Company. He was a Republican in politics and a Unitarian in religion. At his death he left money for the creation of a Charles H. Nutt Surgical Hospital. This building was completed in 1952 and was connected to the present Nashua Memorial Hospital. The building was designed by Alfred T Granger Associates, architects of Hanover NH.

MORE ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON MORRISON NUTT:
The story of another of Barnum's greatest hits must be told in his own words: "In December, 1861," he related, "I was visited at the Museum by a most remarkable dwarf, who was a sharp, intelligent little fellow, with a deal of drollery and wit. He had a splendid head, was perfectly formed, and was very attractive, and, in short, for a 'showman,' he was a perfect treasure. His name, he told me, was George Washington Morrison Nutt, and his father was Major Rodnia Nutt, a substantial farmer, of Manchester, New Hampshire. I was not long in dispatching an efficient agent to Manchester, and in overcoming the competition with other showmen who were equally eager to secure this extraordinary pigmy. The terms upon which I engaged him for three years were so large that he was christened the $30,000 Nutt; I, in the meantime, conferring upon him the title of Commodore. As soon as I engaged him, placards, posters and the columns of the newspapers proclaimed the presence of 'Commodore Nutt' at the Museum. I also procured for the Commodore a pair of Shetland ponies, miniature coachman and footman, in livery, gold-mounted harness, and an elegant little carriage, which, when closed, represented a gigantic English walnut. The little Commodore attracted great attention, and grew rapidly in public favor. General Tom Thumb was then travelling in the South and West. For some years he had not been exhibited in New York, and during these years he had increased considerably in rotundity and had changed much in his general appearance. It was a singular fact, however, that Commodore Nutt was almost a fac-simile of General Tom Thumb, as he looked half-a-dozen years before. Consequently, very many of my patrons, not making allowance for the time which had elapsed since they had last seen the General, declared that there was no such person as 'Commodore Nutt;' but that I was exhibiting my old friend Tom Thumb under a new name.

"Commodore Nutt enjoyed the joke very much. He would sometimes half admit the deception, simply to add to the bewilderment of the doubting portion of my visitors.

"It was evident that here was an opportunity to turn all doubts into hard cash, by simply bringing the two dwarf Dromios together, and showing them on the same platform. I therefore induced Tom Thumb to bring his Western engagements to a close, and to appear for four weeks, beginning with August 11, 1862, in my Museum. Announcements headed 'The Two Dromios,' and 'Two Smallest Men, and Greatest Curiosities Living,' as I expected, drew large crowds to see them, and many came especially to solve their doubts with regard to the genuineness of the 'Nutt.' But here I was considerably nonplussed, for, astonishing as it may seem, the doubts of many of the visitors were confirmed! The sharp people who were determined 'not to be humbugged, anyhow,' still declared that Commodore Nutt was General Tom Thumb, and that the little fellow whom I was trying to pass off as Tom Thumb, was no more like the General than he was like the man in the moon. It is very amusing to see how people will sometimes deceive themselves by being too incredulous.

"In 1862 I sent the Commodore to Washington, and, joining him there, I received an invitation from President Lincoln to call at the White House with my little friend. Arriving at the appointed hour, I was informed that the President was in a special Cabinet meeting, but that he had left word if I called to be shown in to him with the Commodore. These were dark days in the rebellion, and I felt that my visit, if not ill-timed, must at all events be brief. When we were admitted, Mr. Lincoln received us cordially, and introduced us to the members of the Cabinet. When Mr. Chase was introduced as the Secretary of the Treasury, the little Commodore remarked:

" 'I suppose you are the gentleman who is spending so much of Uncle Sam's money?'

" 'No, indeed,' said the Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton, very promptly; 'I am spending the money.'

" 'Well,' said Commodore Nutt, 'it is in a good cause, anyhow, and I guess it will come out all right.'

"His apt remark created much amusement. Mr. Lincoln then bent down his long, lank body, and taking Nutt by the hand, he said:

" 'Commodore, permit me to give you a parting word of advice. When you are in command of your fleet, if you find yourself in danger of being taken prisoner, I advise you to wade ashore.'

The Commodore found the laugh was against him, but placing himself at the side of the President, and gradually raising his eyes up the whole length of Mr. Lincoln's very long legs, he replied:

" 'I guess, Mr. President, you could do that better than I could.' "

In no place did extremes ever meet in a more practical sense than in the American Museum. Commodore Nutt was the shortest of men; and at the same time the Museum contained the tallest of women. Her name was Anna Swan, and she came from Nova Scotia. Barnum first heard of her through a Quaker, who was visiting the Museum. This visitor came to Barnum's office, and told him of a wonderful girl, only seventeen years old, who lived near him at Pictou. Barnum soon sent an agent up there, who brought the young lady back to New York. She was an intelligent girl, and, despite her enormous stature, was decidedly good-looking. For a long time she was a leading attraction at Barnum's Museum, and afterwards went to England and attracted great attention there.
