Notes

Note for: Benjamin McNUTT, 1758 - 1857 Index

Note: Squire McNutt was originally from Rockbridge County, Va., and a fair
representative of the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of that celebrated
locality. His library was well furnished with the elementary work of
the Calvinistic school. He was an adept in the polemics and very earnest
in the defense of his creed, whether civil or religious, or political; as
a private Christian and as an officer of the church, none exceeded him in
a faithful discharge of duty. Living eight miles from the church, even
in inclement weather the old Elder of the Lebanon "In The Fork"
Presbyterian Church was always attentive, devout and punctual and lived
beyond his fourscore years; became blind and otherwise infirm, but to the
last enjoyed great rest in the company of intelligent and religious
friends and such as would read aloud to him the Bible and his favorite
authors. He died about 1857. He was the uncle of Gov. McNutt of
Mississippi. He was buried in the McNutt family cemetery.
