Samuel McCutchan was born in Scotland 1733 and died 1807. He married Elizabeth Fulton on 23 June 1753.

Samuel McCutchan was married to Elizabeth Fulton on 20 June 1753. There are several places that this information is recorded. In Samuel's bible it states that "Samuel McCutchan and Elizabeth Fulton were joined in Holy Wedlock 20 June 1753." This bible was bound in deer hide and bought on 10 December 1760 by Samuel McCutchan, so he states. It lists their twelve children and the dates they were born. Unfortunately, this Bible has disappeared. Ada Meeks, who had it, sent it to a relative, Patty Irvine Hyde, who made copies of what it said. Patty mailed the Bible to Clara McLaughlin in Illinois. Both women are now dead, and the Bible cannot be found.

Samuel came from Scotland through Ireland in 1753.
He was an Elder and trustee of the North Mountain Meeting House and was one of the signers of the deed when the land was purchased on which the meetinghouse stood.
The children, James and Margaret, died and later Samuel gave their names to two other children.

In the Revolutionary War on August 19, 1777, he was appointed Captain of the Augusta Company, Virginia Military Unit. His Company was stationed at Fort McIntosh on the Ohio River toward the close of the war and received a pension. A government marker is at his grave in the North Mountain Cemetery on Middlebrook Road between Middlebrook and Staunton, Virginia. He was an Elder and trustee of the North Mountain Meeting House and was one of the signers of the deed when the land was purchased on which the North Mountain Meeting House stood.
