Biography

From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania:

Joseph McNutt, son of David and Elizabeth (Burns) McNutt, was born in Ireland, and was five years of age when he was brought to this country by his parents. He lived successively in Buffalo, New York, Jamestown and Linesville, Pennsylvania, then removed to North Shenango township, where he had a farm of one hundred and fifty acres. He made a specialty of dairy farming. He married Anna J. Caldwell, who came to this country from Ireland with friends when she was eighteen years of age, her parents having died when she was a child. Their voyage lasted three months. The port they were bound for was New York City, but storms took them out of their course, so that they finally landed at Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. McNutt had children: John B., Emma, William C, Albert E., Mary, Frances Jane, who married Mr. Cotton, as above mentioned.
