They had nine children, one of them, Thomas Messer Cutts married Harriet Bigelow, they had seven children (Harriet died 1871 and Thomas re-married and had more children). One of their seven kids was Gilbert Edward Cutts. He was my great grandfather. So that makes Mary Melissa my Great-Great-Great-Aunt. (Gilbert had two sons, Samuel & Ralph. Samuel had 7 children, one of which is my father Donald E. Cutts.) A decendent of one of Thomas Messer Cutts' children thru his second wife has a picture of Edward. His email is [email protected] and he has a great website with Cutts family info. Nice to meet you Cousin! Anna
