CUTTER
.--The origin of the family in the west was with Seth Cutter, who was born in Boston, Mass., about 1760. Family tradition makes him a descendant of a family who came over in the Mayflower in 1620. He was married in Boston to Mary Reed. In 1790 he joined a colony and decided to move west. One account says that his five eldest daughters rebelled, saying they would not go where they were in danger of being devoured by wild beasts or killed by Indians. Another account fails to mention that he had any daughters at the time, which leads to the inference that if such an incident took place, they were sisters, and not daughters. He had but one child (a son) in Massachusetts. The colony went under the protection of the United States army, commanded by Gen. Anthony Wayne, who established a military post where Cincinnati, O., now stands. Seth Cutter opened a farm which became part of the city. Portions of it are yet in possession of some of his descendants, while other portions, although leased soon after his death (about 1800), the title still remains in the family. Cutter street indicates the locality where he settled. He brought one child--Seth R., of whom we will yet speak more fully--and had three daughters, at what became Cincinnati. Martha, who is believed to have been the first white child born in Cincinnati, became the wife of Abraham Price. Susan married Samuel Foster, of Petersburg, Ky., and Mary married Abraham McFaren. Mrs. Mary Reed Cutter died, and Seth Cutter married Roxena Shingledecker. They had three children. Abigail married William Bernard, Abijah became a farmer in Hamilton county, and Lorena, born Dec. 9, 1805, married September, 1823, to Nicholas Goshorn. One of their sons, A. T. Goshorn, is now (May, 1876,) Superintendent General of the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. Seth Cutter was killed in Cincinnati about 1800, by the caving in of a well. His son--SETH R. CUTTER, born Jan. 1, 1785, in Boston, Mass.
