John Nutting (Generation 1)
There is said to be among the Winthrop Papers a copyhold deed to “John Nutton (Nutting) a lifelong tenant of the one moiety of the lands of Groton Manor” given at the time when John Winthrop, later the Governor of Massachusetts, succeeded his father, Adams Winthrop, Esq., as lord of the monor of Groton, in Suffolk, England The date of the deed is 1618. The grantee is called John Nutton, Senior. This implies a John Nutton/Nutting, Jr. was living in 1618, and of age. If not, the distinction of Senior would not have been used. If living in 1618, the John Nutting of New England would have been a very young child. Hence his connection with the Nuttings of old Groton cannot be proven. It is said that the name of Nutting does not appear in the Parish Register of Groton. (NG/Nutting Genealogy of Groton, Massachusetts by Homer Brainard/1927)
In a letter dated, June 20, 1623 , John Winthrop, the later Governor, writing to his son John who was a student at Trinity College , Dublin , says: “Commend me to my little cousins and to my god-daughter Susannah Nutton”. It does not appear whether Susannah was a wife or a daughter of a Nutting. (NG)
The earliest date that can be certainly assigned to John Nutting of New England is therefore the date of his marriage in 1650. He appears to have lived a few years at Woburn , Massachusetts , but before June 29, 1656 , he had removed to Westford , Massachusetts where some of his descendants have lived. On July 13, 1565 , John Nutting and his wife were received into full communion with the Chelmsford Church , Reverend John Fiske, Pastor. The weeks later three of his children were baptized and in 1659 another child. (NG)
On November 9, 1661 , James Parker, John Nutting and James Fiske asked the Chelmsford Church for leave to remove and for their prayer for a blessing on their undertaking. Thereupon the brethren objected, demanding their reason for removal. Brother Parker answered that each of them had personal reasons, but in the main all agreed that it was because of several things pressing upon their spirit in reference to Church administration, and added that if he could not enjoy all ordinances and their administration according to rule, he for his part would not remove. Brother Nutting also offered his remote location as a reason for removal; having several small children, he and his wife were deprived of the ordinances of religion and he wished to swell near the meetinghouse. The Church could not agree upon any action. There had eventually been disagreements or controversy of which we are not informed. It was finally voted that “if the brethren concerned shall in the meantime settle themselves in the proposed way, we shall lease the matter with god” (NG)
It is most probable that these three men had already made precautions for the homes at Groton , Massachusetts . They would not, having wives and small children removed as winter was coming on, unless they had provided shelter for them. Then too, they must be on the ground in season for the next year’s crop and harvest. The exact date of their removal is not known, but by September 21, 1663, John Nutting was established in a home near the meetinghouse in Groton, Massachusetts, for on that date the town voted that “the said John shall keep clean or cause it to be kept clean, and for his labor he is to have fourteen shillings.” In June 1663, John Nutting had expressed his disapproval of the town’s vote to call Mr. Willard to be their minister. During the Summer he and James Fiske were laboring to lay out a highway to Chelmsford, for which they were to have twenty shillings. In November of 1663, he was with four others chosen Selectman and Constable, which made him rate-maker and Tax Collector. (NG)
The Town of Groton at that time comprised some 41,000 acres of land. James Parker, the wealthiest, had a fifty acre-right and John Nutting a seventeen acre-right. This does not mean that James Parker owned but fifty acres and John Nutting but seventeen. As there were about four hundred acre-rights in all, each acre-right was entitled to about fifty four acres, pro rata, in the subsequent “divisions” or stock dividends in land. This would entitle John Nutting to about four hundred acres of land (actually over nine hundred), or possibly more, as in regard to quality of the land as well as to actual acreage. Transition affirms that he had a tract extending from Maunmux Spring to the Nashua River , large tracts to the west of the river in what is now Pepperell and land to the north end of Baddycock. (NG)
It is said that his house was a fortified garrison, a place where people could gather in times of danger from the Indians …Groton , Massachusetts was on the frontier at that time and such danger was very real. The house was perhaps built like a blockhouse with a projecting upper story, loop-holes in the walls for musketry and a stockade around it. It was this obligation that lead to his death. The Indian Wars were known as The King Philip’s War which began in the early Spring of 1676, after a long preliminary warning. Trouble began at Groton , Massachusetts , March 2, 1676 . On the 13th, a force of four hundred Indians attacked Groton by stealth as was their habit … Nutting’s house and others were captured and John Nutting was shot to death in its defense. It is said that his head was severed and put upon a pole. The women and children escaped with others later to the safer settlements. The eldest son was married at this time and cared for his own. He and his brother James returned to Groton at the re-settlement. The younger children did not return to Groton . Mrs. Nutting probably went to Woburn , where her mother was living. Her mother, Mrs. Jane Cole, widow of Eggleston, of James Briton and of Isaac Cole, died at Woburn , March 10, 1678 . Sister Ruth, wife of Samuel Blodgett, may have lived at the same place. (NG)
John Nutting left no Will. At a court held in Cambridge , Massachusetts , April 1, 1684 , administration was granted to John and James Nutting on the Estate of John Nutting, late of Groton , deceased. On December 4, 1716, James Nutting of Groton, Ebenezer Nutting of Medford, Jonathan Nutting of Cambridge, John Stone and Sarah (Nutting) Stone and Jacob Taylor and Deborah Nutting Taylor of Groton, the children of John Nutting of Groton aforesaid, deceased and intestate, for L60 paid by our brother John Nutting of Groton conveyed to him all their interests in the Estate of John Nutting lying in Groton (Middlesex Deeds, Volume 18, page 290). This deed is evidence for his legal heirs that were living as of December 14, 1716 . (NG)
(Soldier’s in the King Philip War, Chapter 6, Part 11)
On March 9th the Indians again appeared at Groton , doing some mischief, and again on the 13th in full force, and destroyed all the houses in town except the garrison houses, and one even of these, from which, however, the people had escaped. I think that Major Willard marched up from Watertown with Capt. Cook's force on the 12th or 13th, and arrived at Groton on the 14th, as the Indians retired on that day, apparently aware of the approaching force. The people got safely within their garrisons before the attack, and but one man, John Nutting, was killed. The town was abandoned within a few days, and the inhabitants removed to the towns nearer the coast. Major Willard, with his family, removed to Charlestown . It is likely that he had removed his family some time before the destruction of his house, on the 13th, as that stood in an exposed position, and his son Samuel Willard, the minister of Groton , had another of the garrisoned houses.

(Printed volumes of the records of Medford, Massachusetts gives Josiah Nutting’s birth date as February 28, 1705/06 and that of his brother John as of April 23, 1709. It would seem that some error occurred, for the age of John Nutting at death gives a birth date almost precisely that given of Josiah Nutting.) (NG)
JOHN NUTTING-3, learned the trade of tanner and in 1737, as shown by Deeds, he was living in Marblehead, Massachusetts and in 1741 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. John Taylor and Sarah, his wife, sold to John Nutting of Marblehead, Massachusetts, a tanner, for land in Westford, Massachusetts, dated November 7, 1737. A house was probably on the land as Sarah Taylor, wife of Jacob, the grantor, signed the deed to him. John Nutting seems to have settled at Westford, Massachusetts at this time as shown by another Deed: John Nutting of estford, Massachusetts, a tanner, to Isaac Williams of Groton, Massachusetts, land formerly belonging to my grandfather, John Nutting, deceased, and mentions land as belonging to his father Ebenezer Nutting, deceased (Middlesex County Deeds, Volume 54, Page 75) (NG)
JOHN NUTTING-3, according to a Deed of his brother James Nutting, dated 1741, John is called of Chelsea, Massachusetts. It may be that we went there for a time, but in 1748/1749 he was in Westford, Massachusetts. John Nutting of Westford, Massachusetts became quite prosperous. He became an Ensign, and an Officer in the Militia. He is called in Deeds: a tanner, yeoman and gentleman. John Nutting of Westford, Massachusetts, a gentleman, for love and affection to my daughter Hannah Nutting, my eight day clock that remains in my possession until my death. (January 1, 1774, Middlesex County Deeds, Volume 79, Page 505). This is probably a tall clock or grandfather clock. John Nutting left no Will, but settlement of his Estate appears on Probabe Records: Wife, Hannah Nutting was Administratrix. (NG)b. May 4, 1706 (VR/Death)
