Information on John McCutcheon

John McCutcheon married Elizabeth Weir, daughter of Hugh and Margaret Weir, abt. 1769 in Augusta County, Virginia. Elizabeth is mentioned in her father's will:

from the 31 Mar 1779 Rockbridge Co., Virginia Will of Hugh Weir: "..... likewise I give to my Daughters Jean Cunningham, Margret Montgomery, Mary Walker, Susanna Buchanan, Elizabeth McCutchen to each Ten Shillings ....."

John and his family appear to have moved to Washington County, Virginia prior to abt. 1773, where at least two of his children were born. They later migrated to Davidson County, Tennessee, where John died prior to abt. 1794:
