DESCENDANTS OF DEACON WILLIAM CUTTER.*

DEACON WILLIAM and MARY (Kent) CUTTER had issue:

1. STEPHEN, b. 10 Feb. 1745; m. Tabitha Randolph, daughter of Samuel F. Randolph, and married by Dr. Azel Roe, pastor First Church, Woodbridge.

He was a good man; read his Bible every day, and on Sundays spent all his time reading it, but never quoted it in ordinary conversation. It was too sacred, as he said, for outside use. All men spoke well of him but one, just enough to save him from the curse pronounced against those of whom all men speak well. He died in Woodbridge, June 21, 1823, aged 78. Tabitha, his wife, died Nov. 26, 1841, aged 89.

In the Revolutionary war a party of British from Staten Island came up the creek in the night, and once made Mr. Cutter a prisoner. He narrowly escaped being thrown overboard in the middle of the Sound, between the main land and the island, for refusing to row. The enemy found Mrs. Cutter an obstinate rebel. Some soldiers entered her house and shamefully abused her. They damaged her furniture and created disorder, and finally taking her dinner-pot off the fire, strewed the contents over the floor. This she never forgave. She allowed no one afterwards to speak in favor of the English in her presence, without giving her sentiments and relating her experience with Englishmen, and with soldiers in particular.

Stephen and Tabitha (Randolph) Cutter had issue:
