Hi Richard,

Just an FYI that I have McNUTT on my extended family tree. My
great-grandmother's younger sister, Julia CORKILL, married Charles McNUTT.
They lived in Truro, NS. From posting about the CORKILL's in Nova
Scotia, I've heard there are many McNUTT's there ! And, Charles and
Julia contributed by having 10 children !

Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)


P.S. This month I have been trying to learn more about a William MASTERS,
b1800, MA, and found out that some MASTERS and MARSTERS families were
among the "Planters."

(On my extended HUTCHINSON family tree.)
