Notes for: Juliet Richards

Willis and Juliet Richards Nutter, of pioneer families, settled on land on Hughes River, Southwest District, in present-day Doddridge Co, WV, where Willis served as Justice of the Peace for 20 years. After his death in 1860, the farm passed out of the family. Willis was a direct descendant of Thomas Nutter (d. 1732), Captain in the Revolutionary War, who built Fort Nutter on his land, now Nutter Fort, Harrison Co, WV. His gravesite is marked by a government historical marker. Willis and wife Juliet had nine children, four of whom, Andrew, Thomas, Willis Floyd, and Phylander served in the Union Army in the Civil War, as did their sister Mary Catherine's husband, John Gribble.
