The earliest surviving record of John Nuthall (2) who died in 1667 at Cross Manor was found in the will of his grandmother Margaret _?_ Taynter Nuthall Joslin (d 1619) and her last husband Thomas Joslin of Rocheford County, Essex (d 1606). Margaret’s son James Nuthall, gentleman of Rocheford and Hockley, Essex (d 1637) wed Jane Wiseman (d 1622). Their 7th child John’s biography follows the next paragraph. Records show that another John Nuthall (1) a merchant of London, England was born in 1595 and was living in 1644. a letter written by Joseph Phillips to his brother in Virginia from London on the 16th of August of that year requests that he be remembered to Mr. Nuthall and tell him that his father, mother and sister are in good health. Enclosed was a letter to John Nuthall (2) in Virginia from his father in London. John Nuthall (1) of London was a friend and neighbor of William Stone’s father who is mentioned in the letter. The elder Nuthall was still alive in 1658 as evidenced by the record that Sarah Corbett of the Parish of St. Andrews Holburne gave power of attorney to John Nuthall, merchant of London on August 17, 1658. Very credible research denies the London merchant as the father of John (2). See Early Families of Southern Maryland Vol. II page 164.
