  • Notes 
    • From Findagrave:

      Richard Cutter became a cooper by trade (a cooper is one who makes wooden casks and barrels) and at one time made a small oaken chest which in time has became a family heirloom. This chest is still in existence and was in the possession of a Dr. Benjamin Cutter of Woburn, Mass. in the early 1960's.

      Around the year 1644, Richard married his first wife Elizabeth Williams. Together they had 9 children. Elizabeth died at the age of 42. Her tombstone is one of the oldest now standing in the ancient burying ground at Old Cambridge. About two years after Elizabeth died, Richard remarried. His new wife, the former Frances (Periman) Amsden (or Emsden) was the widow of Issac Amsden, of Cambridge. They made their home together in Menotomy. Though they enjoyed a good life together, Richard requested that he be buried in Cambridge near his first wife, Elizabeth. He wrote his will in April of 1693 and passed away in June of the same year at the age of 72.

      Richard Cutter was buried, as per his request in Cambridge. His monumental stones are in the western part of the yard, eight paces from the Obelisk of Livermore.

      Richard married his first wife Elizabeth Williams. Together they had only 6 children. Elizabeth died at the age of 42. (she died in 1662)
