[Abraham.FTW] Jacob Nutt Birth: 1 January 1835-- , Bedford Co, TN Death: 5 June 1912 -- Spouse: Parents: David Nutt, Sarah Ann Landers [Bill's Nutt.FTW] See primary source: Became blind in 1855. Never married. See The Nutt Family, Merle C. Nutt, 1973. Merle quotes from The History of the Nutt Family of Granbury, Texas. "Uncle Jake" "has always been an admirer of ladies-and by ladies admired in turn for his manliness of character-his life has been one of 'single existence,' yet he took upon himself the responsibility of rearing and educating a number of children, nieces and nephews. Of two -Ora and Mattie, daughters of his brother Abel-he assumed paternal care when they were ten and twelve years of age, respectively." "When Henry A. Landers, his brother-in-law, fell in the battle of Mansfield, Louisiana, Uncle Jake opened his home for the reception of his two fatherless children..." Pg. 246: "Flora related some incidents of life on the ranch that substantiates the above. She said that when she would enter a room where Uncle Jake was - and as she walked across the floor, he would say "Fora, where are you going" or "what are you doing" - indicating he could tell by her footsteps that she was there and knew who she was. Also, when harvest time was near, he would go out into the wheat field, take a head of wheat in his hand and by testing it in his hand determine when it was ready for harvest." See Sarah Ann Landers' scrapbook for a photo of him and three of his brothers.
