Generation One

1. Levi Douglass, b. ca 1750 in Virginia,^[1] [or the eastern shore of Maryland in present-day Wicomico County], d. 1787 in Harrison Co, (W)VA.^[2],[3]

Levi Douglass was born possibly in Virginia, but more likely on the eastern shore of Maryland in present-day Wicomico County. His date of birth is generally accepted as being around 1750, but may have been as late as about 1760. In about 1777, just prior to his 1778 marriage to Nancy Anne Merrick in Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia), Levi Douglass signed a petition for the formation of Harrison County, which came about in 1784. In May 1785, a survey for Levi Douglass was recorded for 400 acres in Harrison County on the Brushy Fork of Elk Creek, adjoining the land of Benjamin Coplin.¹

Excerpts from "History of Harrison County West Virginia," by Henry Haymond, 1910:

"On the 31st December, 1771 a party of explorers consisting of John Merrick, Samuel Cottrill, Andrew Cottrill, Levi Douglass and Sotha Hickman, encamped on Ann Moores run near the present town of Grasselli in Clark District.

They were engaged in hunting and looking out for lands upon which to make permanent settlements. On New Year's day 1772 they turned out to hunt, and passing south through the low gap where Lemuel D. Holden afterwards lived for so many years, and near there killed a bear and several turkeys.

On the little bottom where Brushy Fork empties into Elk Creek their dogs discovered a herd of buffalo and in a short time the hunters had killed seven of them. One of the largest of the herd being fatally wounded in attempting to escape down Elk Creek fell dead into the bed of the little stream that puts into Elk below the mouth of Brushy Fork, and lay in such a position that they could not pull him out, and he was left to lie there with regrets that they could not get his robe.

The party remained in this camp all winter and were visited by a friendly Indian who hunted with them for some time.

They discovered the abandoned camp on the "West Fork River of Robert Lindsay a trapper, and also where he had made one or more canoes to transport his furs down to Fort Pitt.

In the Spring of 1772 they selected lands on which to establish permanent homes. Andrew Cottrill located his claim and built his cabin at the site of their camp, on Ann Moore's run, where Grasselli is now located. Samuel Cottrill just east of where Clarksburg now stands, near the Jackson grave yard. Sotha Hickman on the opposite side of Elk Creek near where the Elk View Cemetery now is, and Levi Douglas preempted four hundred acres on the Brushy Fork of Elk. John Merrick did not permanently locate in this country but probably went further West.

There are still residing in Harrison County many descendants of the two Cottrills, Hickman and Douglass, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that their ancestors were among the very first permanent settlers in the present limits of Harrison County." [p. 21]

"It appears that at the June Court 1787 appraisers were appointed for the estate of Levi Douglass and that at the September Court of the same year Mrs. Ann Burrowes was appointed guardian for Thomas Cottrill orphan of Andrew Cottrill, deceased. This indicates that both of these men died in that year, which is a

matter of interest as they were both among the original pioneer settlers of Harrison County, as is related elsewhere, and had borne the hardships of frontier life for sixteen years." [p. 208]

"Levi Douglass. In company with Sotha Hickman he was captured by Indians, an account of which is given elsewhere. He was a man of sterling worth and for that day accumulated considerable property.

The census of Monongalia County taken in 1782 before Harrison County was formed, shows that at that date his family consisted of four members.

The inventory of his estate was dated August 4, 1787, the exact date of his death being unknown.

His descendants still reside in the County." [p. 382]

"Sotha Hickman. ... While trapping on the Liitle Kanawha River in Company with Levi Douglass they were captured by a party of Indians and taken to their towns on the Sciota River in Ohio.

One night while the Indians were holding a grand dance and festival the prisoners were left in charge of an old man who fell off into a sleep. They each then quietly seized a gun and equipments and struck out for home and liberty.

Travelling only at night they were four days without food and after reaching the Virginia side of the Ohio River they were fortunate enough to kill a bear and ate so much of it that they both became very sick and were relieved by drinking what was called rock oil, which was found floating on the surface of Hughes River." [p. 383]

"To show the household articles in use, and the personal property belonging to a well to do pioneer, the following is taken from the appraisement of the estate of Levi Douglass, who died in 1787 :

2 horses, 1 colt, 2 steers, 2 heifers, 1 cow, 1 calf, 17 shoats, 1 plow, 1 negro boy, 1 rifle gun, shot pouch and powder horn, 1 woman's saddle, 2 bridles, 1 man's saddle, drawing knife, stillyards, pot and hooks, hackle-bell, pans, spinning wheel, wooden ware, knives and forks, pewter ware, beds and bedding, flax seed, wheat, hemp seed, beehives and hominy block." [p. 427]^[4]

He married 1778 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA,^[5] Nancy Anne Merrick, also known as Anne Merrick,^[6] b. 1758 in West Augusta Co, VA,¹ d. 1838 in Jackson Co, (W)VA.¹

(HRC, 596)], buried in Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV,^[22],16 resided in Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV,¹⁷ occupation farmer.²²

Although Minnie Kendall Lowther lists three marriages for Robert Willis, it appears likely that the first two were one and the same, to Mary Vanhorn in 1852. A previous marriage to a Mary Venort is considered to be incorrect. Doddridge County Marriage Records contain two entries for the same marriage to Mary Vanhorn, which may have led to the confusion.

Jun 21 1847) on Nov 15 1810, that she was the mother of his nine children, and that he also married Rachel Thomas. But Harrison County marriage records show that it was Rachel Thomas who John Douglass married in Nov 1810. It is unclear if he had another marriage.

But Hardesty states that Andrew Nutter died in 1855 at the age of 61, which would make the birth year about 1794.] (son of John Nutter and Elizabeth Cottrell), d. 1855,^12,38 resided in Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV,^17,39 occupation farmer.³⁹

Andrew: Resident of Harrison County, and later Ritchie & Doddridge Counties, in present-day West Virginia. He served in the War of 1812 in Captain Davis's company, attached to the First Regiment, First Battalion, and First Brigade of the Virginia Militia, participated in the engagement of Fort Defiance on the Maumee River, and was discharged at Delaware, Ohio on April 4, 1813.^12,11

1850 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jul 24 1850:

Andrew Nutter, age 59, born in Virginia, occupation farmer; Malinda Nutter, 59, b. Virginia; Sarah Nutter, 17, b. Virginia; Elizabeth Nutter, 13, b. Virginia; Julia Warren, 25, b. Virginia; Willis N. Warren, 3, b. Ohio; Elizabeth Nutter, 93, b. South Carolina. All four of the adults in the household were indicated as being unable to read and write.

(Note: The surname for Willis Warren was originally entered as "Nutter," which was lined out and replaced with a ditto mark under "Warren" of the preceding line. The surname for Elizabeth, whose entry followed Willis's, was entered simply with a ditto mark directly under the lined out "Nutter," giving the appearance of indicating Nutter as her surname rather than Warren. This was presumably Andrews's mother, Elizabeth Cottrell Nutter.)

Childless, he left no heirs, so much of his fortune fell to his nephew, Franklin Maxwell. Specifically, his will "gave his widow her dower, and divided the residue of the estate equally between the sons of his nephew Franklin one-half, and the other one-half equally among the sons of his brothers and half-brothers; Franklin Maxwell, under the Will, received $2,000 for settling the estate, and Judge Edwin Maxwell and the Judge's brother Rufus Maxwell received his Library."^51,[52]

But age 36 in 1850 Census, age 56 in 1870 Census, and age 65 in 1880 Census would put birth in about 1814 or 1815, which we consider more reliable because of the consistency over the years.], d.

Willis and Juliet Richards Nutter, of pioneer families, settled on land on Hughes River, Southwest District, in present-day Doddridge Co, WV, where Willis served as Justice of the Peace for 20 years. After his death in 1860, the farm passed out of the family. Willis was a direct descendant of Thomas Nutter (d. 1732), Captain in the Revolutionary War, who built Fort Nutter on his land, now Nutter Fort, Harrison Co, WV. His gravesite is marked by a government historical marker. Willis and wife Juliet had nine children, four of whom, Andrew, Thomas, Willis Floyd, and Phylander served in the Union Army in the Civil War, as did their sister Mary Catherine's husband, John Gribble.

Some researchers report the parents of Nancy Nutter, the wife of William Watson, as James Nutter (1773-1833) and Julia Ann Davisson (1775-1826), a relationship that is at variance with substantiated facts about her. Nancy Nutter Watson's death record in Doddridge County states that she was born in Barbour Co, (W)VA, the daughter of "A. Nutter." While Barbour County is inconsistent with the reported birthplaces (Harrison and Doddridge Counties) of her siblings and may be incorrect, we do know that her husband William Watson's family had resided for some time in Barbour County, and that her two oldest children were also born in Barbour County. As far as can be determined, James Nutter and Julia Ann Davisson spent their entire lives in Harrison County and had no known Barbour County connections.

Adding to the confusion is the Nutter genealogy compiled by Donald Norman, based on Barr Wilson's work, listing among the children of James Nutter & Julia Ann Davisson, and also among the children of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, a daughter named Nancy who married a William Watson. That there would be two Nancy Nutters who married two William Watsons in that region and time frame seems very unlikely. However, we do know that a Nancy Nutter married a William Watson in Harrison County on Oct 22 1840 (or possibly Mar 4 1841, based on interpretation of the handwritten marriage record; a Marriage Bond was executed in Harrison County on Sep 1 1840 by Nancy Nutter's parents, Anda (sic) & Malinda Nutter, and also signed by her brother Willis Nutter and by Otha G. Watson, half-brother of William M. Watson). There is nothing in the marriage record itself (MR Bk 3, p. 145) reflecting the parentage or exact identity of either person, leaving open the possibility that it was a different Nancy Nutter, a different William Watson, or both. But the family members mentioned in the marriage bond should dispel any doubt.

No other marriage record for William or Nancy was found in Harrison, Doddridge or Barbour Counties. Given all the evidence and circumstances, we conclude that it was this Nancy Nutter, daughter of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, who married William Watson.

She married^[112],106 Oct-22-1840 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^[113] William M. Watson, b. ca 1818 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^{[114],78,19,54} (son of Jacob Watson and Sarah Pritchard), d. Feb- 9-1890 in Roane Co, WV,^[115],54 buried in Hebron Memorial Church Cemetery, Roane Co, WV,^{54,[116],[117]} resided in Roane Co, WV,^[118] census 1880 in Roane Co, WV, census 1870 in Southwest District, Doddridge Co, WV, census 1850, 1860 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA.

William: There is some question as to the date and place of birth of this William M. Watson. Age 45 given at time of 1860 Census would put birth in about 1815, while age given for the 1870 and 1880 Census would put birth ca 1819. Age 53 given at time of his second marriage, in Sep 1871, would put birth ca 1818. Age 72 given at the time of his death in Feb 1890 would put birth ca 1817 or 1818. His place of birth is given as Harrison County in the record of his second marriage, but as Mercer County in his death record. Harrison County would seem more likely.
