Individual Details
John Nuthall IV
(Bet 1614 and 1615 - Jul 1667)
John Nuthall IV is well documented in "Antecedents and Descendants of John Nuthall of Cross Manor" (See my records). Excerpts from this document follow:
John Nuthall IV immigrated to Virginia before 1630 as a servant indentured, under the name of John Nutwell, to Hugh Hayes (1607-1637) of Accomac County, Virginia. John Nuthall IV apparently escaped from Hugh Hayes and lived among the Indians, whose language he acquired, along the Eastern shore of Maryland. Eventually, for the price of a hoe, he was ransomed from the Indians by William Jones and was returned.
Record exists of John NUTHALL IV [of Cross Manor] in Stafford County, Virginia, in 1640. He became prominent in Northamptom County and obtained a commission from the Governor of Maryland to trade among the Indians for beaver furs, skins and other articles. He was granted three hundred acres of land in Northampton County, Virginia 27 July 1645. In 1651/52, while still in Northampton County, Virginia, he signed the "Oath of Loyalty" and the "Northampton Protest" to the Virginia House of Burgesses.
John NUTHALL IV [of Cross Manor] settled permanently in Maryland about 1661 and purchased - from Thomas CORNWALLIS - Cross Manor and St. Elizabeth's Manor, each 2000 acres, as well as 200 acres of land on St. Inigos Creek. After the move, he served as Commissioner of St. Mary's County as well as Justice of the Peace. He died intestate at Cross Manor, Maryland in October 1667. [See G. N. Mackenzie, Colonial Families of the United States, p. 694]. Cross Manor, the oldest brick house in Maryland (Cross Manor Road, Beachville, Maryland), has been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places since 1988.
Jane WISEMAN was the wife of James NUTTALL (ABT 1577, Wennington, County Essex, England - BEF July 1637, Rochford, County Essex, England), married about 1600. James NUTTALL was the son of Charles NUTTOW (NUTTALL) (1535, Bury Parish, Lancashire, England - January 1581/82, Wennington, County Essex, England) and Margaret FARR (ABT 1550, Great Burstead, County Essex, England - ABT February 1619, Rochford, County Essex, England), married ABT 1575, County Essex, England. It is sometimes thought that James NUTTALL and Jane WISEMAN were the parents of John NUTHALL of Cross Manor and that, about 1618, John NUTHALL of Cross Manor must have been born in Rochford, County Essex. But, since John NUTHALL of Cross Manor is known to have had a mother, father, and sister alive in London during the 1640s; and since James NUTTALL is known to have died by or previous to July 1637, it seems unlikely that James NUTTALL could have been the father of John NUTHALL of Cross Manor. The parish register of St. Marys, Stockport, Cheshire, does show a baptism in 1619 for John NUTHALL, the son of John NUTHALL.
