Resident of Harrison Co, WV, and later Ritchie & Doddridge Co, WV.

We have found several discrepancies in the research done on this family: (1) Jacob Nutter is listed by Minnie Kendall Lowther as one of the children of John C. Nutter & Emily Vincent, but not by Don Norman. We have found no other reference to this Jacob Nutter. (2) Conversely, Don Norman lists Joseph Skelton Nutter and Avery Fillmore Nutter among their children, but Minnie Kendall Lowther does not. Joseph does appear twice as their son in census records, but Avery appears only once and is listed as a grandson. Avery's death record identifies his father as John Nutter, but does not name his mother. (3) Lowther identifies one of John & Emily's children as Thomas Nutter, while Norman identifies him as William Thomas Nutter. This appears to be the same person.

52. Nancy Nutter (24.Andrew⁶, 13.John⁵, 7.Thomas⁴, 4.Ann³, 2.Charles², 1.Christopher¹), b. Feb-22-1818 in Barbour Co, (W)VA,⁴⁹ [Don Norman reports birth date as 1820.], d. Jun-29-1869 in Doddridge Co, WV,^[145],130,6 census 1850, 1860 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA.

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^[146],140 Oct-22-1840 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^[147] William M. Watson, b. ca 1818 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^{[148],128,71,31} (son of Jacob Watson and Sarah Pritchard), d. Feb- 9-1890 in Roane Co, WV,^[149],31 buried in Hebron Memorial Church Cemetery, Roane Co, WV,^{31,[150],[151]} resided in Roane Co, WV,⁶⁸ 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.
