John reported as an early settler with Alexander McNutt in Augusta Co, VA (NGS Quarterly, Vol. 25, p. 51). "John McNutt ("Johnny, the Scotchman) [another record calls him "Scotch Johnny"] and his wife, Katherine Anderson, about 1750, arrived in the upper valley of the James from County Ulster, Ireland. He settled on North River about 6 miles east of Lexington, where he had grants of land from the government." He was one of 122 signers of a petition against religious assessments for support of ministers, presented to the General Assembly in the House of Delegates, 1784. From the McCormick Genealogies, Leyburn Library, Washington & Lee University. Another McNutt file said: "John McNutt migrated to America from Donegal County, Ireland about 1745 and settled in Orange Co. (now Rockbridge) Va. on the North River about 6 miles east of Lexington where he had grants of land from the government. His wife was Katherine, daughter of Robert Anderson of Killagorwen. His father had already established himself close-by." It is said the original name was McKnight and that on their emigration from Scotland to Ireland they changed it to McNutt. This statement is quite confirmed by the fact that on examination of a full and complete directory of Scotland in 1889, the name McNutt was not found. Katherine Anderson had a brother, ancestor of the Anderson Family of Boutetourt County, Virginia.
