The Cutts line that I research also settled in northern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin in the Beloit and Janesville areas. Specific towns and approximate dates were:

The direct ancestors of this Cutts family were among the first settlers of the territory of the Massachusetts Bay Colony that would later become the state of Maine. They arrived in the new world, probably from the area near Bath, Somersetshire, England around the year 1650.

Send me your information on your Cutts relatives. I have extensive information on the family including one branch that lived in the White House in Washington D.C. for a while.
