Note (2) Listed as an "aunt" in household of Avery Nutter and his family. Note (3) Listed as Derinca Nutter, b. Aug 1839, an "aunt" in the household of William H. Rogers (b. Jul 1860) and his wife Margaret E. Norman (b. Jul 1866), who were married in Calhoun County on Dec 29 1885. Note (4) The Dec 9 1887 marriage date cited by Donald E. Norman & Pauline Karabogias in "The Descendants of Christopher Nutter" is at variance with the Dec 9 1875 date shown in Ritchie County marriage records. Note (5) Birth date given in 1900 Census as July 1848. But his obituary states that he was born in 1846, which conforms to his age 5 and 14 in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. Note (6) "History of Ritchie County," p. 236, incorrectly states that John Nelson Nutter settled in California, and his brother William Thomas Nutter in Kansas. The reverse was true. Note (7) A notation in the column for illness or medical conditions indicates that he was afflicted with scrofula, a tuberculous infection of the skin on the neck. Note (8) Birth date given in death record as Sep 1856.
