    "1. John1 Cutler, chirnrgeun, from Holland, appears first upon records in Hingham, in 1674, as Johannes DeMesmaker. January 4, 1674-5, he adopted the translation of his name, 'which they say in English is John Cutler,' and as John Cutler, married Mary, daughter of Edward Cowell of Boston. He served as chirurgeon in King Philip's War, probably as chief surgeon. About 1694, he settled in Boston, and built a splendid three story house on what is now Washington Street. Dr. Cutler died intestate and bis widow Mary acted as administratrix, February 17, 1717. His estate inventoried £5740 15s. April 24, 1718, she was appointed guardian to her daughter Abigail, aged seventeen; she died about one year after, when her sons John and Peter were appointed to complete the administration on their father's estate, and John to be guardian of his sister Abigail"
