I am related to the Cutter's from Lonaconing, MD. My Grandfather was Charlie Cutter and his brother was Will Cutter. They had 2 or 3 sisters, Lizzie and Mag. One sister married a Steele from Lonaconing area. All of these people were from Lonaconing, MD. My Great-Grandfather's name was Fred Cutter and his wife was Ellen Humbertson Cutter. I read in your blog that you are related to the Cutter's from Lonaconing, MD. I would really appreciate any information you can provide me with. There is a family cemetery on the old farm homestead (which has since been sold). I remember seeing it as a child when we visited my Dad's cousins. It was surrounded by a wrought iron fence out in a field on top of a long hill. I remember hearing about a "Hen" or Henry Cutter, Ida Cutter (who I remember visiting). My Dad's cousins were Leslie Cutter and his wife Beulah, and "Clint" Clinton Cutter and his wife Nellie. They were Will's sons. I also remember hearing about the Cutter's from Lonaconing, MD moving westward. Some settled in and around Detroit, specifically a Joe Cutter. I don't know how Joe was related to my Great-Grandfather Fred Cutter. Other Cutter's moved all the way to California. I would like to know where these Cutter's originated, possibly Germany, and if so, what part. Is Cutter the original name? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
