!Genealogy of the Cutts Family in America; Cecil Hampden Cutts Howard; Joel Munsell’s Sons Publishers (1892):
Thomas outlived half his children dying at age 95. He lived near Spruce Creek in Kittery. The house built by him was burned in 1891 after standing 167 years. His descendants were known by the family as the “Spruce Creek Branch” since he was the first of the [Cutt(s)] name to move to that part of Kittery, Maine.
