[Bill's Nutt.FTW] Merle C. Nutt quotes Thomas Franklin Nutt: Thomas Nutt recalled very little about his father, and rarely spoke of him. However, Thomas did say that he was related to the 'Texas Nutts', the Dr. Nutt who invented the Cotton Gin, the Nutts of Philadelphia, and all of those in Mississippi. He related a family story of the two ancestral brothers who 'took the old road that leads from Tennessee to Mississippi.' Obviously, he was speaking of the Natchez Trace. Thomas Nutt was a small boy when his father died, and he went to live with his grandparents Rutledge at the sawmill. His father is believe to have died away form Neosho. Family tradition holds he had started to Texas to visit the family there and was killed in Texas. Tradition further holds that he was scalped by Indians and that one of the Nutt brother came to Neosho to notify his mother of her husband's death and burial somewhere in West Texas."
