Marriage: 22 Apr 1848, Sardinia, Erie Co, NY

  1. Martha Cutting, born about Mar 1850, NY
  2. Mary Cutting, born about Mar 1850, NY

Notes:

Hiram was born in Croyden, Sullivan Co, NH, but moved with many of his siblings to Marshfield, Washington Co, Vermont, before 1820, when he first appears there in the census records. He married first Charlotte Gookin, with whom he had several children. Charlotte died before 20 April 1828, when Hiram married his second wife, Christiana Wheelock, with whom he had four children. Hiram and family moved to Sardinia, Erie Co, New York before 1838, when his second wife died, and was buried in Sardinia. Hiram married again in 1848, and had two additional children by his third wife. He died in 1854 and is buried with Christiana in Sardinia.

Research Notes:

In 30 June 1841 he purchased land in Sardinia from the Farmers Loan & Trust Co. On 21 Feb 1854, Elizabeth Cutting, widow of Hiram Cutting, deceased, sold all of the property holdings of her late husband to his two sons, Hiram G. Cutting, and Carlos L. Cutting, including the parcel he purchased from Farmers Loan & Trust.1.

On 22 July 1854, Hiram G. Cutting, of Brookline, Norfolk Co, Massachusetts, and his wife, Susan G. Cutting, sold his share of his father's estate to Carlos L. Cutting, farmer, of Sardinia (Erie Co deeds, bk 165, p 210).

He is enumerated in the 1820 census, age 16 to 25, living alone in Marshfield, Washington Co, Vermont. This record is in conflict with the birth date of his first child, Adelia, who was born in 1818. The expectation is that Hiram would appear with his wife and child in the 1820 census. The simplest explanation is that Adelia's 1818 birth date is incorrect, although it agrees roughly with her age at death.

There is a 14 Oct 1821 Vermont marriage record for Hiram Cutting and Charlotte Perkins. If this pertains to the same Hiram Cutting, then there are two problems with the record - Charlotte's surname, and the date, which is three years after the supposed birth of their first child, Adelia. As mentioned previously, it is possible that Adelia's 1818 birth date is incorrect. Regarding Charlotte's surname (which should be Gookin, not Perkins) - this is likely a transcription error.2

Hiram is enumerated in the 1830 census, age 30 to 39, living in Marshfield, Washington Co, Vermont. In the same household is his presumed wife, age 20 to 29, 2 male children (1 under 5, and 1 between 5 and 9), and 3 female children (1 under 5, 1 between 5 and 9, and 1 between 10 and 14).

He is enumerated in the 1840 census, age 40 to 49, living in Sardinia, Erie County, New York. Also in the household is a woman, age 50 to 59, and 5 male children: a boy under 5, 2 boys 5 to 9, a boy 10 to 15, a boy 15 to 19, and 3 female children: one under 5, one 10 to 14, and one 15 to 19.

He is enumerated in the 1850 census as Ira Cutting, age 52, farmer, born New Hamsphire, living in Sardinia. In the same household is Elizabeth Cutting, age 35, Charles Cutting, age 19, Francis Cutting, age 17, Julia Thompson, age 11, John Thompson, age 9, Martha Thompson, age 6 months, and Mary Thompson, age 6 months, all born in New York. Note that Martha and Mary are probably children of Hiram and Elizabeth, despite the Thompson surname.

In 1855 Martha Thompson and Mary Thompson are enumerated as Martha and Mary Cutting, age 5, both born in Erie County, New York, children of Elizabeth Cutting, age 36. J. A. Thompson (female), age 14, and J. H. Thompson (male), age 12 are also listed as children of Elizabeth. Hiram is not listed in the 1855 NY census.

Parentage:

Hiram Cutting was the son of Benjamin Cutting and Anna Bemis of Croyden, Sullivan County, New Hampshire. The evidence is as follows:

His baptism is recorded in Croyden, 6 May 1798, son of Benj. Cutting and his wife. The date is consistent with the 8 Jan 1798 birth reported in The Harmon Genealogy.

The will of Benjamin Cutting, of Croyden, New Hampshire, dated 1 April 1846, left bequests to (among others) "my son Hiram Cutting, to my daughters Nancy wife of Obed Lamberton, Lucy wife of Nathaniel Lamberton, Eunice Spencer, widow, and Lydia wife of Daniel Young," proving that Benjamin's son Hiram survived to maturity. Of the heirs listed above, Lucy Lamberton, Eunice Spencer, Lydia Young, and their respective husbands all lived in Marshfield, Washington County, Vermont - as did Hiram. In addition, a family connection between Hiram Cutting and Eunice Spencer is indicated by the fact that Hiram's son, Hiram G. Cutting, lived in the home of Asa Spencer in Marshfield, Vermont, per 1850 U.S. census. Asa Spencer was an in-law of Eunice (Cutting) Spencer.

The executor of Benjamin Cutting's estate was his son, Francis Cutting. Though he did not live there, Francis also owned land in Marshfield, Washington County, Vermont, as indicated by his 1 Mar 1872 will, in which he bequethed the use and income of "the Marshfield place in Vermont." (Sullivan Co Wills, Vol 39, P. 318.)

In a sketch of Nathaniel Lamberton (spouse of Lucy Cutting), The Gazetteer of Washington County, Vermont states that he came to Marshfield in 1805 from Croydon, New Hampshire, supporting the claim that Hiram (and his siblings) also came from Croydon. The same book identifies multiple families that settled Marshfield from Croydon, including the Bemis family, relatives of Hiram's mother, Anna Bemis.

Finally, Hiram named one of his children Benjamin, presumably after his father, and another Francis, after his brother and grandfather.

His parentage has been obscured by A DAR record incorrectly claiming that Hiram Cutting (born 1802) was the son of Jonas Cutting (1741 - 1834) and his wife Lydia. Jonas, it is said, served as a private in the New Hampshire line. He died in Woodstock, VT. This seems to be a confusion of multiple people with the name Hiram and Jonas Cutting. The Jonas Cutting who died in 1834 in Woodstock was a General in the War of 1812, was born 24 Jan 1765 in Bolton, Massachusetts, married Sarah Sawyer Baker (not Lydia) in Lancaster, Massachusetts, 25 Apr 1785. They did have a son named Hiram Cutting in 1802, but this was a different Hiram Cutting.3

Birth:

His date of birth is not recorded in the New Hampshire vital records, nor can it be found in the Croydon town records. However, his baptism is recorded in Croyden, 6 May 1798. This is consistent with the birth date of 8 Jan 1798 given in The Harmon Genealogy and The Wheelock Family of Calais, Vermont. The 1798 birth date is also consistent with the census records, especially the 1850 census, in which he is listed as 52 years old. It is also consistent with the known birth dates of his siblings.

However, it conflicts with the 1789 birth date inscribed on his headstone in Sardinia, New York. The headstone date is probably in error. It is outside the range of all the census records. The birth date of his wife, Christiana, is also incorrect on the headstone. The inscribed date (1802) disagrees with the Vermont record of her birth (1804). So there is reason to doubt the veracity of the headstone.

And it seems likely that the birth date of Martha, Hiram's daughter by his third wife, is also incorrect on the headstone. She was six months old in the 1850 census, apparently a twin of Mary. Assuming it was the same Martha, the 1845 inscribed date should be 1850.
