From http://earlynewenglandfamilies.blogspot.com/2012/02/nutting-family-...

EBENEZER NUTTING settled first in part of Cambridge, now known as Lexington, then called Cambridge Farms. He and his wife owned the covenant there in 1699 and had four children baptized before 1703. On May 26, 1703, he exchanged land with George Blanchard, conveying to him forty-three acres of land in Cambridge and receiving a tract of land in Medford, approximately five acres with a dwellinghouse thereon and approximately twelve acres lying within the limits of Charlestown (Middlesex Deeds, Volume 15, Page 101). In this Deed, Ebenezer Nutting is called a Blacksmith, as in several other deeds, but in the Deed of December 5, 1716, he is called a “practitioner of physic”. He left no Will but there are Probate Records regarding its settlement in the record office at East Cambridge. Deed of 1716 and 1718, call him a doctor, but previous and later Deeds indicated him as a Blacksmith by trade.
