About John Nuthall, of Cross Manor

The attached Photo is of Manor and it's 2000 acres that John Nuthall IV left to his son in his will. Cross Manor is a historic home located at St. Inigoes, St. Mary's County, Maryland, United States. It is a two and one-half story brick house with a side-hall double parlor plan and Greek Revival and Federal influenced woodwork. The house was constructed in three main stages with the earliest purportedly dating to 1642. Other estimates date the house to 1789, with further additions during the 19th century.[2]

came from England 1638

Not the son of John Nuthall, merchant of London (who was probably his uncle).

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.

John NUTHALL was born in London, England in 1620. He was the son of John NUTHALL, a merchant of London, and Mary HYDE. Emigrating to America, he first settled in Northampton, Co., Virginia. As a young man, he (Nutwell) ran away from his master, Hugh HAYES, and lived among the Indians long enough to learn their language and served later as an interpreter. For the price of a hoe, he was purchased from the Indians by William JONES, who was trading in the Chesapeake Bay. NUTHALL was brought home "well strapped with ye halyards".

John was living in Northampton County in 1640. He became prominent there and obtained a commission from the Governor of Maryland to trade among the Indians for beaver furs, skins, and other articles. In 1651, he signed the Submission to Parliament in Virginia and signed the instructions to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1652. Northampton records list NUTHALL as "London merchant and Justice of Accomac, VA". While records refer to him as "Merchant and Gentleman", he also engaged in the practice of law.

Cross Manor built in 1643 is probably the oldest house in Maryland.



Immigrated to Virginia circa 1632 as indentured servant to Hugh Hayes.
