Andrew “Anda” Nutter, Sr
BIRTH 1791
Harrison County, West Virginia, USA
DEATH 1855 (aged 63–64)
Doddridge County, West Virginia, USA
At age 17 he enlisted in the War of 1812, and he served the last six months of the war in Capt. Davis' Company, attached to 1st Regiment, 1st Batalion, 1st Brigade, Virginia Militia. He served in the Great Lakes area, and was stationed at Ft. Defiance on the Maumee River in Ohio. He was discharged at Delaware, OH on April 4, 1813.
Andrew married Malinda Willis on Jan. 22, 1814 in Harrison Co. VA (now WV).
They had 10 children: Andrew Jr. (died in infancy), Willis, John B., Nancy, Andrew Jr., Julia A, Melinda Ann, F.A., Sarah, Elizabeth.
He was an early pioneer of the Oxford vicinity in Doddridge Co, and owned 1,000 acres of land 4 miles above Oxford, on the north side of the South Fork of the Hughes River. Part of this land is off of what is now Taylor Drain Road near Lower Run.
In some records he is called Anda or Andrew Sr., to distinguish him from his son Andrew Jr. (b. 1821).
It is quite ironic that one century and three generations later, about 1919 or 1920, Andrew's grandson Marshall Fields Nutter and great-grandsons Glenn and Lowell Nutter, all moved from WV to Delaware, OH, and several subsequent generations were born and raised there.
