Sep 30 1885, son of Thomas E. Nutter & Sarah A. BR Bk 1, p. 141. Event Notes Note (1) Although the death record shows death date as Feb 23 1886, a second entry shows it exactly one year earlier, on Feb 23 1885. Death date on headstone is one day earlier, Feb 22 1886. In any event, an entry for him in found in the 1890 Veterans Census of Ritchie County. Note (2) Military records show that Thomas E. Nutter enlisted in Co M, 6th W.Va. Infantry, on 24 Nov 1861 in West Union. His description was given as age 18, born in Doddridge County, height 5'4.5", blue eyes, dark hair, dark complexion, occupation farmer. He mustered in as a Private on 21 Dec 1861 in West Union. Company Muster Roll for May/Jun 1863 shows that he was a Guard at No. 18 N.W.V.R.R. Tunnel and Bridge. In July/Aug and Nov/Dec 1863, he was Guard at No.9 N.W.V.R.R. Blockhouse. Having been promoted to the rank of 8th Corporal, he reenlisted on 28 Dec 1863 as a Veteran Volunteer at Cumberland, Maryland. In Jan/Feb 1864, he was a Guard at No.9 N.W.V.R.R. Blockhouse.

Wilson. Note (4) Birth date calculated from age 49y5m24d stated in death record. This would conform to the age 18 given at time of Nov 1891.
