| Nutter
Fort received its name from a family by the name of Nutter. The Nutters were of Scotch-English descent. Coming to America at an early date, Thomas Nutter first settled in Sussex County, Delaware, where his oldest son, Christopher was born. They moved to Augusta County Virginia where the family remained until 1769. At that time they moved to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and in March 1772 the Nutter brothers, Thomas, Matthew and Christopher came to Harrison County where they built and defended the now famous Nutter's Fort. |
