Biographical Sketch of Andrew D. Northcutt

Born: Montgomery County, Kentucky, 1813.
Died: Christian County, Illinois, 1890.

Mr. Northcutt was of Welsh extraction and a self-made man. His grandfather, Jeremiah Northcutt, served seven years as a soldier in the Colonial Army and was present at Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis. Mr. Northcutt's school privileges were very limited, but his persistent industry fitted him for the work of teaching.  He came to Illinois in the fall of 1836, and for fifty-four years he resided, successively, in Sangamon, Shelby and Christian Counties. He was a successful farmer and stock-raiser and he was a successful preacher as well.   He entered the church in 1843 and the work of the ministry shortly thereafter. With his pioneer neighbors he ate and slept, exchanged work in the harvest-fields, joined in the drives to the markets in the genuine spirit of Christian democracy. With them he toiled and sweat six days in the week, and to them he sweat and preached on the seventh. But he was not an exhorter. His speech ran evenly and calmly always. He was a man of superior natural powers of mind; analytic, logical, clear and argued with a force peculiarly his own. He was energetic and tireless in the organization and upbuilding of churches among the people of central Illinois, at a time when churches were few and far between, and the visit of a minister of any denomination an event in the community. As illustrating the denominational feelings at the middle of the nineteenth century, he related the following incident:
The Methodist Sunday schools along the Sangamon River westward from Decatur united in the celebration of the Fourth of July in an assembly that convened in one of the inviting natural groves contiguous to that stream. Among the banners carried in the procession was one representing a big frog in the act of jumping into the stream traced below, and across the form of the ugly amphibian was printed the word "Campbellite"!   However, Mr. Northcutt cherished well-defined friendships for his oldtime friends.

Edmund Morris settled on 154 acres of land, which cost him 50 cents per acre, all of which he improved and built on. His nearest neighbor was ten miles away. The wild game, which is now only found in the far West, was very plentiful then. The farm which Mr. Morris settled on was very rich, and in a few years he was in easy circumstances, leaving an estate of nearly 900 acres. He was the father of nine children: Ann K. (Bentley), Maria (Slaughter), Eveline (Blankenship), Maria (Twindler), Benjamin, Joshua, Roxaline (Caffrey), Leonard and A.

He lived twenty miles west of Charleston, and kept a tavern many years, dying August 27, 1833, in the fifty-second year of his age. Mrs. Morris, who was in life a very devout member of the Baptist Church and a Christian woman, departed this life in July, 1856, in the seventy-sixth year of her age.

Northcut, Harris Bradford

Harris Bradford Northcut, senior member of the general merchandise firm of Northcut and Sons,and one of the leading business men of Grundy Co., TN, is a resident of Altamont, the county seat of the county.  He was born and reared in this section of TN, and has, throughout his life, been identified with the business interests of that region.

Our subject's father, Adrian Northcut, was born in Virginia, in the year 1799, and was brought to TN by his father, John Northcutt, who located near Irving College, Warren County.  John Northcut had been a soldier in the War of 1812 and died on his way home at the close of the war. Adrian Northcut grew to maturity in Warren County, and after making several moves, he settled in the cove which was named in his honor, five miles northwest of Altamont, which was his home for the balance of his life. He was a member of the county court about forty years and never charged the county a cent for his services in this capacity.  During the muster of the state militia, he served at different times in the capacity of Captain, Colonel and Brigadier-General. In 1846 he raised a company and was appointed it's captain and served in the Mexican War. He was a member of the state legislature for eight terms, or sixteen years, and during a part of that time was also a member of the state senate, and wielded a wonderful influence in both houses. General Northcut was the representative from Warren County, and Isaac Roberts was the representative from Franklin county at the time Grundy county was established, and both men became residents of the new county.   They then became leaders of the two parties contending for the location of the county seat. General Northcut proved to be the victor and the county seat was located at Altamont. He then engaged in selling goods at his home for many years. He put up the first store in Altamont, and engaged in the mercantile business, but his principal occupation was driving stock south, at which he accumulated quite a fortune. He was very hospitable and served as security for many of his friends with the result that he was called upon to pay about half of the amount that he guaranteed payment, but in spite of all he was very prosperous and was known as one of the wealthy men of the county. He was not well educated but possessed wonderful forethought, good judgement and business ability. His wife was, in her girlhood, Miss Sarah Cope, and was a daughter of James Cope, a primitive Baptist minister. She was born in Warren County, TN, in the year 1807, and died in 1873. The General died in 1869. They were both members of the Primitive Baptist Church, and in politics he was a staunch Democrat, and it was said of him that he would ride a hundred miles to convince one Whig that he was wrong. The General and Mrs. Northcut were the parents of a family of fifteen children, eleven sons and four daughters, five of whom are now living, viz: Lydia Tipton, now (date 1898) living in Fannin County, TX; Harris Bradford, the subject of this sketch; L. H., a farmer also living on the old homestead; and Mary Walling, whose home is in TX. The deceased are: John, who died at the old home;   Stephen died in Mexico while serving in his command in the war with that country; James, a farmer, died in Warren County; William E., a trader among the Indians and died somewhere in the West; Archibald died at his father's home; S. H. was a recruiting officer for the Confederacy and was killed in Coffee County, during the war; Lynchia L. was the wife of Colonel Hughes and died in McMinnville; Woodson L. was killed at The Wilderness, VA., May 5, 1864. Elizabeth and George both died in childhood.

Harris Bradford Northcut, the subject of this sketch, was born December 11, 1829, and grew to maturity in the Northcut Cove. He attended the public school in the district in which his boyhood was spent, and afterward attended the Altamont Academy. He helped to cut the brush from the town site of Altamont when that town was laid out for the county seat. At the age of twenty-four he began driving stock south, having had several years experience in that business with his father. In March 1858 he bagan selling goods at Altamont and has been engaged in the mercantile business at that place continuously since that date with the exception of four years caused by the war. He was a very heavy loser by the war, as he lost all that he had. His store was robbed and burned by the soldiers, and at the close of hostilities he was without means and in debt. During the struggle he was with the Conferate army a part of the time and after its close he returned to his mercantile pursuits again, and gradually retrieved his situation. The firm is now known as Northcut and Sons.
In 1862, Fannie McCraw, daughter of William McCraw, became the wife of Mr. Northcut. She was born in Hawkins County, TN, in June 1839. To this union is born three children, of whom we have the following record:  Thomas B., a partner with his father and brother in the mercantile business; Mrs. T. A. is the widow of James Moffitt, deceased. She is living with her parents; James H. is also a member of the mercantile firm, and is president of the Dixie Telephone Co.  Our subject and Mrs. Northcut are both members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Mr. Northcut is a Mason and was instrumental in the organization of the Alto lodge, No. 478, at Altamont. He has held all the official positions in the lodge of which he is a member except worshipful master and has represented it at the grand lodge several times. Politically he is a Democrat.
