Hello Mr. George,

Yes, interested in checking out this information. We do have a Jennie Cutts. I wonder if there is a connection? I will have to begin looking into this matter. Where was John Cutts from?
When was he born and when did he pass away? Do you have other information on Mr. John Cutts?

Thank you,
Keith

I am a descendant of Thomas Loban who emigrated from Scotland. He died in Illinois. His son, Thomas Elliot, was my ggrandfather. I am looking for death information of Thomas from Scotland's wife Mary, maiden name Minty. Thomas and Mary married in Aberdeen Scotland in 1812. Newell Loban's father, Alexander was brother to my ggrandfather Thomas Elliot. Any information will be appreciated.

Hi, Keith-
I am sorry that your messsage was filtered from my email at first, and has only now come to my attetention. I see that Beverly Coles has also written. To answer your query: John Cutts was born in Lincolnshire, England. He emigrated to Ohio and then on to Iowa. After his wife's death in Iowa, he returned to Ohio, where he remarried a local woman. I have an interesting letter he wrote from Ohio in 1834 to his English landlord complaining of having been unjustly forced to leave the parish. I believe I sent Beverly a copy which she can share with you. If not I will send one if you like,and if you have the patience to wait until we complete a move. Presently my materials are all packed up, apart from an old back-up FTM file. I probably won't have full access until later in the fall of this year.
Anyhow: John Cutts, b. April 7, 1822. Doddington, Lincolnshire, m. Mary Roe December 1, 1850 in Buchanan, Berrien Co. Michigan. John d. March 28, 1905, Hambden Ohio. His daughter Rebecca Jane (Jennie) was my gggrandmother. Mary Roe has an interesting and well-documented lineage too, with descent from Gov. John Winthrop's sister, who was the subject of a popular novel by Anya Seton. Hope this helps. (BTW, Rebecca had a sister Harriet, b. 1855). I would appreciate any information you may have on this family, especially Rebecca's Loban relations...
