Person:Anthony Nutter (2)

(1) Antony, b. 1630; m. Sarah, daughter of Henry Langstaff. He lived in the Little Bay section
of Bloody Point. His house was garrisoned ; he was an officer in command of the militia company in his section of Old Dover. He served as selectman several years, and represented Dover in the General Court six years or more. Thus it is plain that he was one of the influential and highly respected citizens. He died 19 February, 1686. His wife died later.

Anthony, son of Hatevil and Annie Nutter, was born 1630, in England, and died February 19,
1686, of small pox. His wife, Sarah, was a daughter of Henry Langstaff. They lived for a time at
Dover Neck, but moved to Welshman's cove, in what is now Newington, New Hampshire. Mr. Nutter was a prominent man in the colony and exercised a wide influence. He was admitted freeman in 1662, was "Corporall" in 1667, and "leftenant" in 1683, being thereafter known by that title. He was selectman, a member of the general court when under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and later of the general assembly of New Hampshire; and in 1681-82 a member of the provincial council. He had three sons, John, Hatevil and Henry, and one daughter, Sarah.
