Biography

William CUTTS was born about 1793 in Cumberland, North Carolina (NC), United States. [1] He was the son of William Cutts and Katherine Avery.

William married Martha A (Williams) Cutts on 16 Mar 1820 in Cumberland, NC. [2] [3] [4]

Between 1820 and 1840, William and Patsey farmed in Cumberland, NC, while raising a family of at least 11 children: 6 boys and 5 girls. [5] [6] [7]

In 1850, William, 57, and Martha, 47, are still farming in Cumberland, NC. Their real estate is valued at $500. They have 10 children living with them: Esther, 24; Mary J, 20; Elizabeth C, 18; Margt H, 16; David W, 15; Alexd, 14; William, 12; Joseph F, 11; James P, 9; and Qumay C, 7. [8]


In 1860, Wm, 65, and Martha, 59, are farming in Harnett, NC. Their real estate is valued at $2,200; their personal estate, at $6,000. They have 6 children living at home: D W, 26; Alexd, 24; Wm, 24; J F, 21; J P, 17; and Hugh C, 16. [9]

William appears in no future censuses so is presumed to have passed away before 1870, most likely in Harnett, NC. In 1870, Martha, 70, is living in Neill’s Creek, Harnett, NC with her son Jas P and his family. [10]

William acquired a good deal of land, beginning in 1828, when his father, William Cutts Sr, deeded William 180 acres, including the plantation on which his parents lived, for natural love and affection. William, Sr and his wife Katherine are to continue to live on and use the land until they die. The property lies on both sides of Black Creek in Cumberland, NC. [11] In addition to this land, William is granted 100 acres beginning at a stake in Cumberland, NC on 30 Dec 1840, [12] 60 acres on the waters of Buie’s Creek in Cumberland, NC on 25 Oct 1848, [13] and 42 acres on Black River in Harnett, NC on 26 May 1859. [14]

William was a slave holder, owning 6 slaves in 1850, [15] and 6 in 1860. [16]
