Judge William S Hutt has sons living
in Little Rock Arkansas
We do not know any thing about
them.
Dr. Spence Hutt of Waverly Ohio Son
of Nimrod Hutt
has an everlasting tribe,
theonly ones living to perpetuate
the name, they had a family reunion
several years
ago and sent us list of the children
& grandchildren
long as the mortal law I
would not undertake to copy it.
The late Mrs. Nat Rockhold of Hillsboro
Mrs. David Rockhold of Avoca Iowa
are Daug of Nimrod
but I guess what I have sent you
is enough.
I send you some clippings from papers
thought perhaps
you could find some items of interest.
Bro says
between 80-90 he sent a great many
pieces to the Gazette
but he has no copys – all in regard
to the early days
of Ohio. I also send you a
Recp from Mr. Edwards the man
Thomas killed and was hung
for in 1846. Also an
old Recpt
mustered out Certificate
–something I never knew
before [underlined] that father
had ever been a soldier. now take
good care of these and return [underlined]
when you are thro with
them. Gerard Hutt had
a Brother a member of the English
Parliament some time in 1700 we
have always heard
but don’t know any thing about it;
The clipping in regard
to Commodore Walker was very interesting
to me for I saw
the splinters and old shells and
had a peice [sic] of a shell
but don’t know where it is. He come
right up and took us down
before the Boat was cleaned out
it was dreadful
