Ancestors of James McCutchan who may have been a close relative of historical persons.

James McCutchan's great grandfather, William McCutchan Sr. William was born in Ireland. William's sister was Elizabeth McJohnstone, also known as Elizabeth McCutchan, their parents were Andrew McCutchan and Margaret Johnstone. She married John Hilliard, and was known in the United States as Elizabeth Hilliard. When she was a little girl, she attended church with her parents. They were friends of the Wesleyan minister,the Reverend John Wesley.

While they were at church one Sunday, Elizabeth wore a bow on her bonnet. Mr Wesley inquired “Is it a bow upon Betty?”, which was taken , Arad McCutchan reflected, as a reproof for undue gaiety in dress.

A note here on another line, the White family appears as an ancestor. We are also related to John Henry William White b 1602 , known as Elder John White. My 10th great grandfather. We thought we were also related to the Reverend John White b 1596- 1684, who was related to the Wesley family by marriage, but no definite connection has been made yet.

On the Ross side of the family, James Rounds was a private in the Massachusetts Continental Army. My 5th great grandfather. His brothers, Mark and Lemuel also served in the Revolutionary War. Lemuel was also reportedly a body guard for General George Washington. It was also reported that there was dissolving of the guards and reinstatement due to a plot which was discovered to kill General George Washington.

A newspaper article which quoted the Court Records of Massachusetts, Vol. 34, page 588, which lists all the men who served together was printed in the Biddeford Weekly Journal published March 17,1916 Biddeford, York County, Maine. (Maine was part of Massachusetts at one time).

The uncle of the Rounds brothers, Theodore Rounds was also listed.

Another relative, John Angus McDonald,b 1727 in Scotland. 1st cousin 8 times removed. The grandson of Lieutenant Joseph Young, had served in the Jacobite Rebellion From 1745 to 1746 and fled to America,then served from 1746- 1776 in the French and Indian War for Great Britain and later in the Revolutionary War.

A relative from the Clay family, Richard Clay Jr. My 6th great grandfather served as a private in Captain John Elden’s Company which marched on April 24, 1775 to Biddeford.

His father, Richard Clay b 1718 (per wikitree) Served in Captain Joseph Woodman's of Narragansett #1 from August 29,1757 to 31 October 1757, 9 weeks and 1 day. Narragansett is now Buxton, Maine.

A relative from the Pennell family. Joseph Pennell Sr. b 1747, grandson of Thomas Pennell and Sarah Durrell, Joseph is my 1st cousin 7 times removed, he served in the Revolutionary War.

A relative of the Lobingier family, Christopher Lobingier Jr. b 1741, My 6th great grandfather, was a delegate to the constitutional convention of Pennsylvania. See Josiah Van Kirk Thompson Journal #25 page 507, dated 1913.

An ancestor of Richard Clay Jr.’ wife, Rachelle Pennell, Sarah Pease was related to the husband of the Sara Pease who was accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts.

Sara’s husband was Robert Pease his father was Robert Pease, the same father as his half-sister Sarah Pease,

Sarah Pease was married to John Sampson.

Sara Pease, accused of witchcraft, is the wife of my 9th great uncle.

This next person is a relative of my ancestor William Ross.

Lieutenant Hardy Pierce b 1756 served in Revolutionary War killed at Fort Lee , New Jersey.

See the Biography of Henry Agustus Pierce.

He is related through Thomas Moore, these persons are not in my database.

The next person is from the Garey/Gerry family, James Gerry b 1737 also known as James Garey. He is my 6th great grand uncle. His parents were John Garey and Abigail Thompson. He is the brother of Abigail Sarah Gary who was married to Joseph Rounds.

James served in the Revolutionary War. He Enlisted July 10, 1779.

The next relative is Thomas Abbott or Ensign Thomas Abbott b 1643 was a blacksmith and served in a militia.

There were two others but they were extended so far I could not list the generations.

Benjamin Elwell b 1733

Served in the Revolutionary War under Captain Lane.

His Son John Elwell b 1746

Served as a drummer in the 6th Massachusetts in the Revolutionary War.

As I search for these lines back into Europe I may find more historical figures in Europe.

In The Psychic’s Memoirs, a hot-tempered Los Angeles detective and his distracted partner are assigned to find an alleged teenage psychic whose capture might determine the outcome of a looming civil war and humanity’s relationship with a misleading alien force. The standalone novel is part of Ryan Hyatt’s Terrafide series, techie tales of woe and hope in which characters grapple with a world falling apart.

Praise for The Psychic’s Memoirs:

“The Best Cyberpunk Novels of 2020 and 2021” --Joel Stafford, Joel’s Books

"A mind-warping journey through an all-too-plausible near-future America where sociopolitical revolution and advanced technology represent the promise and peril of human evolution."--Jake Anderson, author of Gone at Midnight: The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam

“Hyatt's superior ability to build a convincing lived-in world just over the horizon is on display page after page. This is not another orgy of post-apocalyptic horrors, but an opportunity to see every calamity as a possible stepping stone toward utopia.”--A.L. Lorentz, author of The Filter Trap and Dead Monkeys

Check out the other books in the Terrafide series!

Guest Post:

Top 5 favorite books.

Here are some that come to mind…

Hocus Pocus – Kurt Vonnegut -- Stories that can make me laugh while criticizing society deserve extra laughs

Song of Susannah – Stephen King – The perfect, subtle badass build-up of a western

Hells Angels – Hunter S. Thompson – Fact-driven, first-person gonzo narrative felt raw and real

Cadillac Desert – Marc Reisner – Amazing how statistics shared dramatically on the page can have a dramatic effect, especially when talking about as something as banal as water rights

The End of Victory Culture – Tom Engelhardt – The analysis of modern American society through the toys that were popular at the time is an amazing and fresh way of looking at history

Top 5 favorite movies/tv shows.

Unbreakable, Split and Glass are the most under-discussed and under-appreciated superhero movies ever made.

Watchmen – Both the ‘90s movie and the recent HBO show based on the comic are amazing adaptations.

Westworld – Great sci-fi that touches on all of the great tropes sci-fi writers like to explore: A.I., augmented reality, etc.

Annihilation – A well-chosen and well-done adaptation of a book that is transformative in its world building and message, and another one people just don’t talk about enough.

Game of Thrones – Of course, although the last season did lose a little magic.

1945

Roger Bresnahan

Christy Mathewson’s favorite catcher was also probably the best catcher of the deadball era. And probably the best position player on the New York Giants during his tenure there. The knock on Bresnahan is that he got in to the Hall of Fame because he’d just died in 1944, he got too much credit for popularizing shin guards or for whatever other non-deserving reason. Fine. JAWS ranks him as the 22nd-greatest catcher of all time. Nobody with similar career stats is in the Hall of Fame. But in 1945, they really only could have put in Mickey Cochrane, Gabby Hartnett or Wally Schang ahead of him. Maybe Deacon White. But Bresnahan had been associated with John McGraw in Baltimore and New York, not to mention Mathewson. Plus the fact that he had an outstanding World Series (.313 AVG, .500 OBP) during the Giants’ championship run in 1905. And people thought fondly enough of him after his death that they put him in. I think he only had three elite seasons, but I would have given him the N.L. MVP in 1903. Some people lose their mind over Breshanan’s inclusion. I don’t feel like it’s hurting anybody.

Dan Brouthers

Big Dan was probably the greatest slugger of the 19th Century. And he had the career home run record from 1887-1889. He won five batting titles and three slash line Triple Crowns during his career. He also killed a catcher in a collision at home during his amateur days, but was found innocent of any wrongdoing. I would have given him the National League MVP in 1882, 1883, 1886, 1887, 1889, 1892 and the American Association MVP in 1891 for a total of 7. JAWS ranks him as the 7th-greatest first baseman of all time. The Veterans Committee could have gone with Roger Connor first. But I guess it paid to be associated with John McGraw, who Brouthers (pronounced BROO-thers) played with in Baltimore in 1894 and 1895 and with the New York Giants in 1904. McGraw even gave him a job in the Polo Grounds press gate for over 20 years. Not knowing McGraw means he probably would have had to wait until people had easier access to stats thirty years down the road.

Fred Clarke

I’d say he played Scottie Pippen to Honus Wagner’s Michael Jordan, but with 4 pennants under his belt as player-manager, he was also Phil Jackson. Clarke began managing at age 24 and even had the all-time wins record for managers until it was broken by John McGraw in 1918. Just in case you didn’t think John McGraw was going to get mentioned again.

I’d say Clarke had six elite seasons as a player. JAWS ranks him as the #12 left fielder of all time. He went 5-for-5 in his first game in the Majors. And later in life he became wealthy by finding oil on his Kansas property. With the money, he became part-owner of the Pirates. And then became clubhouse poison in 1926 by actually sitting in the dugout and undermining the manager.

Jimmy Collins

He was considered the best defensive third baseman of his time, playing in on the edge of the grass to defend against the bunt. It strikes me as odd that nobody had thought of this before, but whatever. Somebody had to. And Collins is second all-time in put-outs from 3rd after Brooks Robinson. He wasn’t really a star hitter. I’d say he only had one elite season (1901). But in 1945, he was the second-greatest third baseman ever, after Home Run Baker. Now JAWS ranks him 20th and below standards.

Collins probably gets extra points as the first franchise manager of the Boston Red Sox. Collins’ Americans, as they were known (which included Cy Young, whom Collins recruited), won A.L. pennants in 1903 and 1904, won the first ever modern World Series in 1903 and then sat out the ‘04 Series when John McGraw (McGRAW!) refused to play them. In 1906, Collns was replaced by Chick Stahl as manager. Stahl, who couldn’t handle the pressure, committed suicide the same season.

Ed Delahanty

One of the game’s first power hitters was also one of its first great tragedies. Ed Delahanty was one of five Delahanty brothers to play in the Majors. And he was the best. Big Ed was the first to hit .400 in a season three different times, the second to hit four home runs in a game and the only man to win batting titles in both leagues. His .346 average is 5th all-time. He had 9 elite seasons and I would have awarded him the N.L. MVP in 1893, 1895, 1896 and the A.L. MVP in 1902. JAWS ranks him as the 6th-best left fielder of all time.

Not that many people can say they’ve broken a third baseman’s ankle with a batted ball. And not that many people have gotten stuck in a doghouse trying to retrieve a ball, which resulted in an inside-the-park home run either. Delahanty met his tragic end after a contract with the Giants fell through and he went on a months-long drinking binge. Apparently he got wasted and violent on a train, threatening passengers with a straight razor, until he was kicked off. While crossing the International Railway Bridge over the Niagara River, he either fell, jumped or was pushed and his body was later found at the bottom of Niagara Falls.

Hugh Duffy

After all these years, Duffy still has the single-season batting average record with .440 in 1894. Which is an insane batting average. And he was even thought to have won the Triple Crown that year, until some other RBI were found for Sam Thompson. Depending on who you ask. FanGraphs considers him a Triple Crown winner, BaseballReference does not. Either way, it’s one of only two elite seasons for Duffy. I’d say over his own career, he was the second-best center fielder after Billy Hamilton. JAWS ranks him the 46th-best center fielder of all time. I mean, for the 19th Century, he was 11th in fWAR among all position players. Not bad for a guy Cap Anson initially mistook for the batboy when he arrived in Chicago in 1888.

Hughie Jennings

For a very brief moment in time, Hughie Jennings was the star player and captain of the legendary Baltimore Orioles teams of the late 1890’s and he might have even been the best player in baseball during that stretch. Part of his success was due to his willingness to get hit by pitches. He took one for the team and then took first base due to an HBP 51 times in 1896, which is still a single-season record. And the 287 hit-by-pitches in his career is also an all-time record. That obviously wasn’t without its consequences. Hard-throwing right-hander, Amos Rusie, once beaned Jennings in the head in the third inning of a game. And Jennings apparently managed to finish that game. But as soon as it ended, Jennings collapsed and remained unconscious for three entire days.

Head injuries would actually be a common theme in Jennings’ life. He actually had multiple skull fractures over the years, from diving into empty pools and a near-fatal car crash in 1911. But the most consequential injury to his playing career was probably throwing out his arm in 1898. That’s when the elite play and stellar defense stopped. JAWS only ranks Jennings as the 29th-greatest shortstop of all time. Only two of the ten most-similar players in career stats are in the Hall of Fame. And if the Veteran’s Committee wanted to pick a worthy shortstop, they could have easily gone for George Davis, Bill Dahlen, Bobby Wallace, Joe Tinker or even a few others. So I’m guessing Jennings’ selection had as much to do with his managing career as it did with his time at short.

From 1907-1920, Jennings was the manager of the Detroit Tigers. Which means he was Ty Cobb’s manager. I mean, Jennings also had Sam Crawford and Harry Heilmann too. But that was Cobb’s team. And Jennings let Cobb be Cobb. His first three seasons at the helm in Detroit were pennant winners. All in losing efforts (twice to the Cubs and finally to Pittsburgh). But Detroit is also where Jennings became known as “Ee-Yah” for his trademark yell from the third base coaching box. Jennings’ wacky antics also included other variations of noises, horns, gyrations and dances. He was even suspended for taunting opposing players with a tin whistle.

Despite all of his antics, Jennings was still considered a great manager. And he occasionally still played in a game or two over the years. During the infamous game in 1912, when the entire Tigers team boycotted in solidarity with Cobb, Jennings inserted himself to pinch hit. When the umpire asked him who he was subbing for, Jennings responded, “None of your business.”

Jennings, who was also the best man in John McGraw’s wedding, also did some coaching for the New York Giants in the early 20’s. And he managed during the time McGraw fell ill. Eventually the head trauma might have gotten the better of him. Jennings suffered a nervous breakdown in 1925 and then died of meningitis in 1928.

King Kelly.

If Kelly was a quiet, teetotaling churchgoer, he might have gone on to 19th Century baseball obscurity. Thankfully, he was none of those things. It was pretty rare for Kelly to be the best player on his own team (then again, his teams won 9 pennants, so his teams were kinda stacked). There were only a handful of times he was the best catcher in baseball or the best outfielder in baseball. Contemporaries like Buck Ewing and George Gore were better at their respective positions. But Kelly probably had 5 elite seasons. And I would have given him the NL MVP in 1884 (which was also the first of his two batting titles). He’s only the 7th-best player in his own specific era (1878-1893) after Roger Connor, Cap Anson, Dan Brouthers, Jack Glasscock, Ewing and Gore. And he’s currently listed as the 36th-greatest right fielder of all-time on JAWS, well below standards.

But this is the Hall of Fame and Kelly sure as shit was famous. He was also as innovative as he was tricky. The hit-and-run, the hook slide, catchers backing up first base and runners leading off a base have all been things said to be popularized by Kelly. So are the wearing of a glove and a chest protector as catcher. So are fouling off pitches on purpose to tire out an opposing pitcher, and cutting bases when the only umpire wasn’t looking.

Kelly also ‘wrote’ the first baseball autobiography. He popularized signing autographs. He became one of the first ballplayers to work in vaudeville. And when the White Stockings shipped Kelly off to Boston for $10,000, it was a record amount and everyone freaked out about it. America’s first pop song was “Slide, Kelly, Slide”, which also became a movie. “Casey at the Bat” is rumored to be about him. Every Irish pub hung his photo. He was a handsome, mustachioed Irish-American legend. And that sweet combination of skills, innovation and fame is what got him to Cooperstown.

Jim O’Rourke.

“Orator Jim” is another 19th Century player who was probably more famous than he was spectacular on the field. He was pretty good in his heyday. JAWS ranks him as the 37th-best left fielder of all time. There were a few times he was the best first baseman or outfielder in the old National Association. Or the best player on one of his Boston teams in the National League. He did have 8 elite seasons. And he won a batting title and three home run titles (before that was really a thing). It’s just that he played on those stacked Boston Red Stockings teams that won 5 pennants in the 1870s. Then again for the Providence Grays and again for the New York Giants.

O’Rourke’s fame might stem from attending Yale Law when most of these guys were rough-and-tumble immigrant kids. He also collected the first base hit in National League history in 1876. And then he played in the minor leagues well into his 50’s. His friend, John McGraw (!) called him up for a game in 1904 when O'Rourke was 54 years old. And he caught a full minor league game when he was 60.

Wilbert Robinson.

From 1886-1902, Robinson served as a mediocre catcher for various American Association and National League teams, where he was the first catcher to play directly behind the batters at all times. Then he went on to become business partners with John McGraw in Baltimore, succeeding him as manager of the Orioles in 1902. Besides McGraw, that team also featured Roger Bresnahan, Joe Kelley and Joe McGinnity. From 1903-1913, Robinson served as McGraw’s pitching coach with the New York Giants (a team which included Christy Mathewson, McGinnity and Rube Marquard). And then from 1914-1931, he was manager of the Brooklyn Robins, a team which was named after him. That Brooklyn team won pennants in 1916 and 1920, included Hall of Famers Casey Stengel, Zack Wheat, Rube Marquard, Burleigh Grimes, Dazzy Vance, Max Carey, Rabbit Maranville, Dave Bancroft, Al Lopez and Ernie Lombardi and left Robinson 3rd all-time in National League managerial wins after McGraw and Fred Clarke.

Snubs: Brouthers, Delahanty and Clarke were good choices, But if you’re going 10 players, round it out with Roger Connor, George Davis, Kid Nichols, Bill Dahlen (who isn’t even in the Hall), Frankie Frisch, Sam Crawford and Billy Hamilton.
