Research Notes
Middle initial is A.[6] or R.[7] Consistently R. in all Company A Remarks.
There are seven George Cutlers in the 1870 Boston, Massachusetts city directory. Tracking him down is proving difficult.
Our George is not the George A. Cutler, child of Annie Skillings and Nathaniel Cutler of Exeter, New Hampshire who passed in 1864. Could he be John G. Cutler, child of Ann and Rufus Cutler of Exeter, New Hampshire? Find a Grave reveals the G. to stand for Garrison.

Is this the same man as Cutler-3198? George Rufus' marriage record lists his parents as Nathaniel and Nancy Cutler of Exeter, NH. He and his wife had a family in the 1865 state census in Cambridge, MA but his children appear living with their maternal relatives after that.
