Okay Orcutt genealogists, here goes. In the process of assembling the Orcutts in America genealogy, I've run across some really good "puzzles" - folks I just can't seem to place. Let's see what you can do...find the parents of:

Wallace J. Orcutt
b. Dec 4, 1918 in New Hampshire
d. Jan 4, 1991

Mother was Eva Gerard (b. 1901 in Concord, NH)

1920 NH census (Merrimack County, Boscawan, ED 59, Page 9a)
Fred Gerard (45) - Head
Eva Orcutt (19) – Daughter
Wallace Orcutt (1) – Grandson NH-NH-NH
Ruth Orcutt (4/12) – Granddaughter NH-NH-NH
Eva is listed as married (not widowed)


1930 NH census (Merrimack County, Concord, ED 26, Page 1b)
Acel Quimby (31)
Eva M. (29)
Wallace J. Orcutt (11) – Stepson NJ-MA-NH
Ruth M. Orcutt (10) – Stepdaughter NH-MA-NH

Possible connections:
1. Stanley Tower Orcutt. Stanley shows up in 1917 working in Boscawan, NH. His home address is listed as Newark, NJ on his WWI draft application, birthplace as Worcester, MA, and employment as a machinist in Concord, NH. He’s listed as “single” and shows up in 1920/1930 in NJ, married with children.
2. Eva is either divorced or a widow in 1920. If she’s a widow, it’s possible her husband (Orcutt) was a World War I casualty from NH or MA. If she’s divorced, the number of options increases greatly.
