Northcut, William, Yarmouth 1643, then able to bear arms, may have been f. of bef. ment. W. Norcut; but in my guess, was the same person.

History of Benton County
SPRINGTOWN.

This beautiful village is located on Flint Creek, eighteen miles southwest from Bentonville. It derives its name from its famous spring, which flows from the foot of a bank in the valley not more than fifteen feet high. The village lies just west of the spring, at the foot of the southern bluff of Flint Creek Valley. The hills beyond the valley, covered with their native forests, present cheerful scenery. Charles Kincheloe built the first house where Springtown is located, about the year 1841, and Isaac Dial built the next one close by the spring, and it is still standing. Soon thereafter a Mr. Yarberry built the next house, it being where Frank Wasson now lives. No business, however, was established at Springtown until 1868, when Manning Richardson opened the first store in the place, and built the first house in the town proper. Marion Seaburn was the next merchant, and Thomason & Northcut the next, neither of whom remain. The town was surveyed and laid out in lots in 1871. It lies in the southeast corner of Section 6, Township 18, Range 32, and is laid out on a bearing of south 59½ degrees west.

James G. Rodgers,son of Jesse and Martha Rodgers, and great-grandson of Gen. Green, was born in Warren County, Ky., May 8, 1826. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Rodgers, was one of the pioneer settlers of Kentucky, and was a farmer by occupation. He was a Whig in politics. The maternal grandfather, William Jameson, was another early settler of Kentucky, about 1785, and was a farmer by occupation, but was also engaged in the practice of medicine. He was married to Miss Martha Jameson, who was also born in Warren County, Ky., about 1794; after marriage they moved to Sangamon County, Ill., and from there to Rutherford County, Tenn., where the father died October 11, 1834. The mother and two youngest daughters then moved to Haywood County. Tenn., where she died in 1853. The father was a member of the Baptist Church. The mother was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The father was a Whig in politics. Their children were named as follows: Arie E., Martha A., James G. and Sarah E. The third of these children. James G., remained in Rutherford County. Tenn., until he was married to Miss Ruamah E. Sanders. December 22, 1850. He then moved to Cannon County, Tenn., and in 1860 he moved to McDonald County, Mo.; in 1862 he volunteered in Col. Coffee's regiment, Company D, Missouri Cavalry, Confederate States Army, and served until the close; he became the father of these children: Sarah E., Martha M., Jesse E., Annie E., Marshal R., Nancy J., Mary I., Arie L., John W., Lavenia E., William [p.885] A., Minnie V. and James I. After his marriage Mr. Rodgers ran a tan-yard in Tennessee for some time, but has since followed farming. Mr. Rodgers is quite an extensive traveler, having been all over the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, and has been among the following tribes of Indians: Cherokees, Choctaws, Seminoles, Creeks, Paw Paws. He is a Demoerat in his political views. Marshal H. Sanders, father of Mrs. Rodgers, was born in Rutherford County, Tenn., in 1803; was a farmer by occupation, a Whig in political views, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her mother, Mrs. Sarah Northcut Sanders, was born in the same county as her husband, about November 24, 1801, and, died in 1843, leaving these children, Elizie C., Amanda M., Sarah A., Ruamah E., John P., Nancy E., Minerva J. and Martha E.

Sarah, aged 60, had d. 21 May 1735, hav. had Simon. THOMAS, Saybrook 1651, rep. May 1652 and Oct. 1654, unless this be mistak. for Robert, an opin. wh. may be suppos. to have influenc. the mak. of Index to Trumbull's Col. Rec. I. since it does not include the pages, where the name of Thomas, in the text, appears at the Gen. Ct. as deput. and does include those where Robert's name appears at the Ct. in Sept. 1652 and Sept. 1654. Without much confidence in the conject. I incline to think Thomas entit. to his seat, tho. no more is heard of him. THOMAS, Charlestown, serv. short time in Turner's comp. as a soldier, Mar. 1676, by w. Sarah had Sarah; Eliz. both bapt. 22 Aug. 1680; Mercy, 22 May 1681; Thomas, 22 Apr. 1683; and posthum. d. Abiel, 23 Oct. 1687. WILLIAM, New London 1656, among the freem. 1669, d. 18 Dec. 1699. From his will we get the names of ch. John, William, Samuel, Jeremiah, Joseph, Sarah, and Rebecca; but little can be learn. as to any of the s. and of the ds. nothing. It is said that Jeremiah was b. 1677; and we kn. that he, with William and Samuel, resid. at N. L. that Joseph went to Norwich, and that John, the oldest, was liv. at Colchester in May 1748, when it was affirm. "he will be 95 yrs. old next Nov." so that it would be hazardous to deny, that he was b. 1603. In 1834 Farmer found the gr. at Yale fourteen, at Harv. and Dart. four ea. and two at other N. E. coll.

NORCUT .

NORCUT, or NORCOTT, DANIEL, Boston, sail. in the Pied Cow, 1635, for Eng. and bec. she was not heard of next yr. admin. of his est. was giv. to John Coggan, who prob. was a creditor, Jan. 1637.

Possib. he was of Boston 1650, to witness the will of Robert Saltonstall.

CHAPPELL .359

[Chappell is a very common middle name in my Northcutt family.
I include this information for this reason.]

CHAPPELL, CALEB, Lebanon, was youngest s. of George; and Sedgwick's Hist. of Sharon says, that the name in that town is deriv. from him. GEORGE, Wethersfield, came in the Christian 1635, aged 20, from London, and two yrs. later is found apprent. to learn the trade of carpenter with Francis Stiles of Windsor, wh. had come in the same ship, and, perhaps, paid for his transporta. Fifteen yr.s. after he rem. to New London with w. Margery and ch. Mary; Rachel; John; and George, b. 5 Mar. 1654; and there had Eliz. 30 Aug. 1656; Esther, 15 Apr. 1662; Sarah, 14 Feb. 1666; Nathaniel, 21 May 1668; and Caleb, 7 Oct. 1671. He d. 1709, in his will speaks of aged w. Margery, commit. to s. Caleb, and gr.s. Comfort; but wh. was f. of this Comfort is not told. Mary m. 19 Jan. 1665, John Daniels; Rachel m. a. 1667, Thomas Crocker. JOHN, eldest s. of the preced. was, perhaps, a soldier in Turner's comp. 1676, may have been of Lyme 1678, and certain. was of Flushing, L. I. 1704. NATHANIEL, Boston 1634, was in the employm. I of Atherton Hough, adm. freem. 22 May 1639. He may have been br. I of George. WILLIAM, New London 1659, perhaps br. of George, by w. Christian had Mary, b. Feb. 1669; John, 28 Feb. 1672; two nam. William, d. young; Christian, Feb. 1681, and perhaps more. Mary m. John Wood.

This church was constituted on 20 Feb 1829 at a meeting in the home of J.W. Cooper and agreed to hold meetings in an existing building on lot 282, north side of the Mill near Mountain Creek. On 25 March 1836 the church reported to its members that it had been invited to move to Whitesville, but decided to erect its meeting house on its existing lot. The move to Whitesville did not take place until nearly two decades later, on 25 August 1855.
