Mercer Memories chronicled McNutt family in Rockbridge history
The McNutt descendants William and Elizabeth lived near Falling Springs Presbyterian Church in Rockbridge County Virginia. The 1941 Rockbridge County News and Lexington Gazette note the church window dedication for the McNutt family and mention William’s grandfather Alexander arriving in Virginia after 1720 and the family’s farm near Lexington. William and Elizabeth’s graves lie near the church, with a grandchild, Reuben, later a Mississippi governor.
