BIOGRAPHY: The History of Montgomery County, Ohio; 1882; p 270-271 under Joseph Nutt;
"JOSEPH NUTT, farmer, P.O. Centerville. The eldest of the two children (Joseph and John) of Aaron and Martha Nutt, was born in Centerville, Ohio, December 11, 1818. Parents both natives of New Jersey; his father was the son of Levi Nutt, and he the son of Adam Nutt, a native of Wales, who landed in New Jersey early in the last century. Aaron, on his mother's side, was the grandson of Barzilla Ivens, a noted merchant of his day; he was also a noted man for the size of his family; he was married three times and was the father of twenty-one children, who were all able to one and the same time to set at the table and help themselves to a square meal... His father was a tailor by trade, and was an experienced hand in manufacturing buckskin in wearing apparel. The last pair of buckskin pants he made was in the summer he was eighty-one years of age. Mr. N. V. Maxwell, one of our present worthy citizens, was then carrying on tailoring, and took in the job conditionally, viz. if he could get "Uncle Aaron" Nutt (by which familiar title he was well known) tomake them he would do so, as for himself he frankly admitted he could not make thm; they were made and all parties satisfied with the job. Mr. Maxwell, to this day, takes delight in referring to that job, and saying "Uncle Aaron" was the oldest journeyman he ever employed. He was also a good hand with a sickle in a harvest field; the summer he was eighty years old, he lead the reapers once through in his son Aaron's wheat field. He was also an excellent auctioneer, if not the first, he certainly was among the first; had quite a patronage in Montgomery, Warren and Green Counties. Before the subject of this sketch was large enough to put a collar on the horse, he commenced driving the cart and doing small-jobs about town and working on the small farm. When in his twelfth year, he hauled in the cart all the stone making a complete pavement from the schoolhouse, one-fourth mile north of town, to the Baptist Church on the west side of town. His father and Joseph Beck laid the walk, which did good service many years. For its protection, the Town Council made it a finable offence to ride or drive on it. So carefully was it guarded that the xhool teacher has been known to leave his school on seeing a traveler on the walk, and hurry up to town and have a warrant in the hands of the Marshal bythe time the offending party would reach the village. The 28th of April, 1834, he went as an apperntice to the chair-making; served three years faithfully; made the trade his principal business up to the spring of 1844; then went to New Burlington, Clinton Co., Ohio, and sold goods for Israel Harris, Jr., and Samuel Lemar, nearly six years. In Januray, 1850, went into the employ of John Grant, Esq., the principal merchant then in New Burlington; remained with him until April, 1857. Mr. Nutt was married, January 29, 1856, to Miss E. A. Weaver, of New Burlington. May, 1857, moved to Chicago; remained there until August, 1858, returning to New Burlington, and remained there until the spring of 1861; then removed to Centerville on the old homestead, where he now lives, becoming the owner thereof by half purchase and half legacy, and one of the few men in the township owning the land originally purchased by the father from John C. Symmes, but the deed was made by James Madison, President to the United States. There are other tracts in the township deeded by the President to the heads of some of the families now living thereon, but they are mostly second-hand purchases.
"When Aaron Nutt with other men were in consultations with Judge Symmes, organizaing a pioneer company, one of them said to the Judge, "You will not take that man, will you?" pointing to Aaron Nutt. "Why not?" said the Judge. "Why," said the man, "he is a Quaker, and will not fight the Indians." "Just the man I want," siad the Judge; "I want a peaceable colony." Aaron Nutt was never a member of any religious society, but his religious sentiments were in full accord with the Orthodox Friends, wore the garb and used the plain language of that society. The following incident shows the respect the Indians have for the name of William Penn. Sometime after Aaron Nutt had settled here and Dayton something of a place, he was going up there one morning, when he met a company of Indians. After passing them, he found a sack of roots and herbs in the road and readily concluded it belonged to the Indians just passed. So he would carry the sack into town and leave it at the store of H.G. Philips, who told him he knew the Indians, they had been in the store that morning, and on their next visit he would had over the sack, and did so, saying to the Indians that -- "It was a William Penn man that had found it." "Ugh," said the Indians, "he good man; he good man."
p 272-273 under son John Nutt;
"JOHN NUTT, M. D., Chicago, Ill. John Nutt was the younger of the two sons, Joseph and John, and only children of Aaron and Martha (Craig, formery Pedrick) Nutt, and was born on the old homestead in Centerville, Montgomery Co., Ohio, March 3, 1823. His parents were natives of New Jersey, and were respectively widower and widow; at the time of their marriage, January 11, 1818, by James Russell, Esq., of Centerville. Aaron Nutt was left fatherless at an early age. His mother marrying again, the boy, Aaron was apprenticed to John Lippencott, a tailor of 1776, for a term of seven years, serving his employer nearly that time on the tailor-board. At about this period, the armies of the Revolution, under the commad of Gen. Washington, were very active in the State of New Jersey, and as these were indeed trying times for our country, and soldiers were mucn needed, both old and young were earnestly solicited to join the American forces. It was at this juncture that Lippincott was drafted into the military service, and Aaron Nutt's apprenticeship about to expire, that Lippencott made this proposition to him, that if he would enter the army and serve his, Lippencott's time out, heowuld in turn set him free. The proposition was accepted, and Nutt joined a military company commanded by his cousin, Capt. Israel Shreve. The evening before the battle of Monmouth, the compnay had a little skirmish with a compnay of English light horse, and came off victorious. Nutt was quite near the English Captain, and saw the American soldier shoot him in the breast. He fell from his horse and jumped a fence and fell dead by the side of it. Nutt, in looking at him after death, pronounced him the handsomest man he ever saw. Next day, the main battle was fought, the day, an excessively hot one, the Americans threw off their coats and knapsacks, as they marched into the field, forty-eight abreast. After the battle, twelve wagons loaded with bread and drawn by oxen were brought on the ground for the Americans. After htis, Nutt's military service was in riding as a scoutand driving team; of the latter, he did a large amount. He never asked for or received any pension, but assisted many others in procuring theirs. On Tuesday, the 4th day of May, 1779, he was married to Mary Arher, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Arher, of New Jersey. From this union there wwere nine children, of whom none are now living. Three died in early life, the remaining six lived to be heads of families. The father used to take great pleasure in standing on his own premises and look at the smoke curling out of the chimneys of five of his children-- the sixth one lived some four miles distant. In 1786, he removed with his family from New Jersey to Pennsylvania, where he remained only a few years, and then moved to Kentucky, living at different points, among which the following palces are remembered: On the Dry Ridge he lived a long time, keeping a tavern there; did the same in the town of Versailles; from Kentucky he removed to what is now Centerville, Montgomery Co., Ohio, in the spring of 1798, having previously been there with the surveyors in February, 1796, and selected his land. Here he settled in a wilderness of woods, and where in his new abode he remained with only a slight change of habitation during the balance of his life. Surrounded with a large circle of truly worthy friends and relatives who were always interested in his presence, as he so often gladdened the hours with earnest recitals of events of which he had not infrequently been an active participant.
"He was a man of eminently correct habits of life, possessing a very superior constitution, temperate, industrious and of a cheerful disposition, even marked to the end, and when warned of approching dissolution seemed ready and willing to meet the change. The disease of which he died was, though not of frequent occurrence, incident to old age, and in this case, as was pronounced by his skillful and ever attentive physician, Dr. A. B. Price, one of the most extraordinary cases of the kind ever known to the profession. The pain,k which was very severe, was first manifested in theleft eye, which after awhile completely destroyed that organ. The pain then passed to the heel and great toe of the right foot, then successively until all the toes were in a like manner involved, then the foot mortified, was drawn up and dried until all seemed as hard and lifeless as stone, and blackened with the deadly progress of the disease, which continued for a period of many months, at the closing of which time a distinct point or line of demarkation appeared within four inches of the knee. Death of the foot and leg below having already occurred and here separatio of not only the living from the dead flesh, but also the larger bone was already manifest, so that earnest hopes were strongly entertained that an arrest was probable, and that an improved condition might be looked for; but at the close of about the ninth month the powers of the constitution could stand the pressure no longer, and gradually yielding, death kindly terminated this protracted struggle June 2, 1842, and thus passed the life of a man aged eighty-three years then months and sixteen days, who had never known what real sickness was, and even used his tobacco up to within a few days of the last. His remains are buried in the old cemetery one-half mile north of Centerville, between the graves of his two wives. "Peace to their remains."

Quoting from Burke's " Peerages of the British Empire "
"The Lords Archer of Umberslade bore a shield of azure, with three arrows of gold, the points downward, being the arms of their ancient family long settled at Umberslade, followers of the Earls of Warwick. The Archer family is of Norman origin, being descendants of Fulbert le Archere and his son Robert, the latter coming to England In the Norman invasion and whose name is recorded in Battle Abbey as having rendered notable service to William the Conqueror. There was a yet more signal part of William's favor manifested by his act in entrusting the education of Prince Henry to Robert le Archere. How efficiently the latter discharged his trust history bears witness, for when the Prince came to the throne as Henry I, he was known to the world as 'Henry the Scholar'." "King Henry showered honors and benefits upon his preceptor. From the beginning, therefore, the Archer family took its place in English Society as the
'landed gentry.' At the time of the American Revolution the titular head of the family in England was Lord Thomas Archer, Baron of Umberslade."
Proud was he of his name and race,
Of old Sir William and Sir Hugh
And in the Parlor, full in view

Upon the wall in color glazed.

The consciousness of a worth or illustrious
ancestor not only is later but insights a certain family pride, which makes us careful not to blot the escutcheons which have been preserved for us. This in America is better sole value, and regarded as such cannot be pernicious to America institutions.

Quoting from:
Be it remembered that I Joseph Archer of the township of Mansfield, County of Burlington in New Jersey, being low in health, but of sane and disposing mind and memory, yet recollecting that it is appointed for all Men once to die, do make this my Last Will and Testament. First I resign my Soul into the Hands of Almighty God who gave it to me, as into the Hands of a Being infinitely good and as to the worldly estate wherewith it hath pleased Providence to bless me. (Excerpt of Joseph Archer's will written in 1781)
With these words, at age 51, Joseph Archer eloquently began his last will and testament. Mr. Archer, an innkeeper and farmer, is the first Archer that can be traced directly to our family. He was born in 1730, two years before George Washington was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His first known address was Burlington township, Mansfield county, New Jersey. He married Sarah Shreve on November 12, 1755, they had five children. He remarried on October 3, 1768 to Martha Tully, widow of Jonathan Tully, a union which produced three more children. Joseph passed on October 23, 1783. Joseph's children by his first marriage were Mary, Benjamin, John and Elizabeth. His children from his second marriage were Samuel, Isaac, Sarah and Rebecca. We are descended from Benjamin and the Shreve part of the family.
The Condition of this obligation is such,
That whereas the above-bounden Joseph Archer
hath obtained License of Marriage for himself
of the one Party, and for Sarah Shreve
of the County of Mansfield of the other Party : Now, if it shall not hereinafter appear, that they the said Joseph Archer and Sarah Shreve have any lawful
Let or Impediment, of Pre-contact, Affinity or Confanguinity, too hinder their being joined in the Holy Bands of Matrimony, and afterwards their living together as Man and Wife, then this Obligation to be void, or else to stand and remain in full Force and Virtue

BIOGRAPHY: The History of Montgomery County, Ohio; 1882; p 270 under Joseph Nutt;
"JOSEPH NUTT, farmer, P.O. Centerville. The eldest of the two children (Joseph and John) of Aaron and Martha Nutt, was born in Centerville, Ohio, December 11, 1818. Parents both natives of New Jersey; his father was the son of Levi Nutt, and he the son of Adam Nutt, a native of Wales, who landed in New Jersey early in the last century. Aaron, on his mother's side, was the grandson of Barzilla Ivens, a noted merchant of his day; he was also a noted man for the size of his family; he was married three times and was the father of twenty-one children, who were all able to one and the same time to set at the table and help themselves to a square meal. Joseph's mother was the daughter of Isaac and Hannah Pedrick, or Pedricktown, J.J.; she emigrated with them to Waynesville, Warren Co., Ohio, in 1806, remaining there a brief period; her father purchased a farm near the present village of Clio, Green Co., Ohio, and removed to it. The family were all worthy members of the Society of Orthodox Friends. The subject of this sketch can't quite claim to be anything more than the son of pioneers (for date of father's arrival see brother's biography); never had any land to clear or brush to pick; never assisted in building the pioneer cabin with ists cat and clay chimney, clapboard-roof held on with weight poles, or in laying down the solid puncheon floor; or in erecting the sweep at the well for the "old oaken bucket;" but have worn buckskin pantaloons, leather-crown hat and thread shirt-buttons. His father was a tailor by trade, and was an experienced hand in manufacturing buckskin in wearing apparel. The last pair of buckskin pants he made was in the summer he was eighty-one years of age. Mr. N. V. Maxwell, one of our present worthy citizens, was then carrying on tailoring, and took in the job conditionally, viz. if he could get "Uncle Aaron" Nutt (by which familiar title he was well known) tomake them he would do so, as for himself he frankly admitted he could not make thm; they were made and all parties satisfied with the job. Mr. Maxwell, to this day, takes delight in referring to that job, and saying "Uncle Aaron" was the oldest journeyman he ever employed. He was also a good hand with a sickle in a harvest field; the summer he was eighty years old, he lead the reapers once through in his son Aaron's wheat field. He was also an excellent auctioneer, if not the first, he certainly was among the first; had quite a patronage in Montgomery, Warren and Green Counties. Before the subject of this sketch was large enough to put a collar on the horse, he commenced driving the cart and doing small-jobs about town and working on the small farm. When in his twelfth year, he hauled in the cart all the stone making a complete pavement from the schoolhouse, one-fourth mile north of town, to the Baptist Church on the west side of town. His father and Joseph Beck laid the walk, which did good service many years. For its protection, the Town Council made it a finable offence to ride or drive on it. So carefully was it guarded that the xhool teacher has been known to leave his school on seeing a traveler on the walk, and hurry up to town and have a warrant in the hands of the Marshal bythe time the offending party would reach the village. The 28th of April, 1834, he went as an apperntice to the chair-making; served three years faithfully; made the trade his principal business up to the spring of 1844; then went to New Burlington, Clinton Co., Ohio, and sold goods for Israel Harris, Jr., and Samuel Lemar, nearly six years. In Januray, 1850, went into the employ of John Grant, Esq., the principal merchant then in New Burlington; remained with him until April, 1857. Mr. Nutt was married, January 29, 1856, to Miss E. A. Weaver, of New Burlington. May, 1857, moved to Chicago; remained there until August, 1858, returning to New Burlington, and remained there until the spring of 1861; then removed to Centerville on the old homestead, where he now lives, becoming the owner thereof by half purchase and half legacy, and one of the few men in the township owning the land originally purchased by the father from John C. Symmes, but the deed was made by James Madison, President to the United States. There are other tracts in the township deeded by the President to the heads of some of the families now living thereon, but they are mostly second-hand purchases.
"When Aaron Nutt with other men were in consultations with Judge Symmes, organizaing a pioneer company, one of them said to the Judge, "You will not take that man, will you?" pointing to Aaron Nutt. "Why not?" said the Judge. "Why," said the man, "he is a Quaker, and will not fight the Indians." "Just the man I want," siad the Judge; "I want a peaceable colony." Aaron Nutt was never a member of any religious society, but his religious sentiments were in full accord with the Orthodox Friends, wore the garb and used the plain language of that society. The following incident shows the respect the Indians have for the name of William Penn. Sometime after Aaron Nutt had settled here and Dayton something of a place, he was going up there one morning, when he met a company of Indians. After passing them, he found a sack of roots and herbs in the road and readily concluded it belonged to the Indians just passed. So he would carry the sack into town and leave it at the store of H.G. Philips, who told him he knew the Indians, they had been in the store that morning, and on their next visit he would had over the sack, and did so, saying to the Indians that -- "It was a William Penn man that had found it." "Ugh," said the Indians, "he good man; he good man." The subject of this sketch is now the oldest native born citizen on the town plat; never loaded a gun, pistol or firearm of any description, have pulled the trigger a few times making one shot that would be creaditable to any sportsman. Mr. Nutt is the father of five children, as follows: Anna, Laura, Samuel Weaver, William Pedrick, Clarence Emory Nutt, of whom only two are living viz., Sanuel W. and Clarence E."

Nutt, John (b. 3 Mar 1823)
Note: BIOGRAPHY: The History of Montgomery County, Ohio; 1882; p 272-3;
"JOHN NUTT, M. D., Chicago, Ill. John Nutt was the younger of the two sons, Joseph and John, and only children of Aaron and Martha (Craig, formery Pedrick) Nutt, and was born on the old homestead in Centerville, Montgomery Co., Ohio, March 3, 1823. His parents were natives of New Jersey..
"John, after the death of his father, remained at home with his bereaved mother, working the little farm and attending and teaching school, and so continued until the last of August, 1845, when on solicitation of Dr. John Evans, then of Indianapolis, Ind., he accepted a kind invitation to study medicine with him. So, bidding adieu to his old home and all of its surroundings, he embarked on board the Voress line of stage coaches for what then seemed to be the far distant West. Here he commenced his medical studies, spending the winers, however, at Chicago, attending Rush Medical College, from which institution he graduated in the spring of 1848. Returning to Indianapolis, he made application to the commissioners of the hospital for the insane for the place of assistant physician, and being successful in due time received the desired appointment, and early thereafter entered upon the duties of the office in this then new State institution, and soon had the satisfaction of assisting in the reception of the first patients ever admitted to treatment in that place. In October, 1851, he severed his connecion with the hospital and, marrying Annie, the youngest daughter of David and Rachael Evans, of Waynesville, Ohio, moved within a few days thereafter to the city of Chicago, Ill., where with a devoted wife and four comely boys, he now remains comfortable living in Glencoe, one of the city's most beautiful suburbs, overlooking both far and wide the cooling waters of Lake Michigan."
