The
McNutt Family Crest.
McNutt Family
Welcome to the McNutt Family Website!
This website is the major project of the McNutt Family Association, a
nonprofit organization dedicated to discovering and preserving the family
history of the descendents of Alexander McNutt, born in 1656, emigrant from
Scotland via Ireland.
Of particular interest to the webmasters is the line descending from
Lieutenant James McNutt, who is thought to be a grandson of
Alexander McNutt, descending from Alexander's son James McNutt; James
was probably born in Ulster, Ireland between 1710-1717, and left several
orphaned children following his death in 1749 in Augusta County, Virginia,
including Lieutenant James McNutt. Lieutenant James McNutt acquired
his rank during the American Revolution. He served at the Battle
of Point Pleasant under Captain Matthew Arbuckle, and following the war
received a generous land bounty in the Virginia Military District (now the
State of Ohio). This line of McNutts traces its lineage from Ohio
(where the land was patented) and into several other midwestern states --
notably Indiana and Illinois.
The McNutt Family of Monroe County, West Virginia is now contained
within a larger work by the webmaster, available in PDF form
HERE.
Several sources have confused Lieutenant James McNutt with the James
McNutt who was the grandson of Alexander McNutt through his son Alexander;
the son Alexander also settled in Augusta County, Virginia. The latter
James McNutt has no apparent Revolutionary War service record; he was born
in 1740 to Alexander (a brother of James, the father of Lieutenant James
McNutt), married Margaret McElroy in 1768, and died in Augusta County,
Virginia on 6 September 1811. Lieutenant James McNutt was also
probably born in 1740, but married Sidney Ewing in Greenbrier County,
Virginia on 6 February 1781, and then removed with his family to Franklin
County, Ohio in 1806. He died 30 November 1809 in Franklin County,
Ohio.

McNutt News.
This website is the beginning of an effort to form a
centralized repository for the genealogy and history of the descendents of
Alexander McNutt, emigrant born in Scotland in 1656. As the site develops, we may
broaden our reach to include information about other lines of McNutts in
America as well. At present, we will in particular emphasize the line
of Lieutenant James McNutt, because that is the line of which we know the
most.
If you know you are a descendent of the Alexander McNutt line,
or have a research interest in that line, please create an entry in our
database.
In the near future, we will begin to create data reports, organized by family group in the images and archives section of
this website.
