458. Myles1 Nutt; baptized 7 May 1598 at Barking, Suffolk, England; married Sarah Branson circa 1624; died 2 Jul 1671 at Malden, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA, at age 73.279
He "MYLES NUTT was a proprietor of Watertown, Mass. 1636/7, a freeman in 1637, and was still in Watertown in 1642. He removed to Woburn where he was taxed in the first town rate on record, levied December 22, 1646, and an order was given about the same time for enlarging his home lot. He was a selectman in Woburn in 1647 and during seven of the nine years immediately succeeding. He died in Malden, the 2nd of July 1671, aged about seventy-three, leaving a widow, Sybil, about ten years younger than himself, who married John Doolittle of Rumney Marsh, October 30, 1674, and died in Malden September 23, 1690, aged eighty-two.
In Middlesex County Probate files there is a Mutual Agreement made in 1650 between Miles Nutt and Sibell his wife concerning the settling of his estate upon her for her future support. It shows that she was a widow before her marriage to him and had a married daughter, Anna, his step-daughter. When his will was made the 1st of February 1660, O.S. besides having made provision for his second wife he bequeathed to his daughter Sarah, now wife of John Wyman, and after her decease unto her children, divided equally, only her eldest son John was to have double portion. John Wyman, the elder, was named executor. The will was not proven until December 15, 1674.
When the grandson, who was to have had double portion, was killed in the Great Swamp Fight, December 19, 1675, one clause in the inventory presented to the probate court by his widow, Mary (Carter) Wyman, concerned houseing lands and movables given him by his grandfather Nutt, which could not be accounted until the decease of the widow of the said grandfather.
SARAH NUTT was the daughter of Myles Nutt. Savage and the historian of Woburn state that her father brought her with him from England, and as there is no record of her mother, his first wife, it may be that father and daughter came alone to New England. Sarah married, November 15, 1644, John Wyman of Woburn (baptized in England February 3, 1621, son of Francis and Elizabeth (Richardson) Wyman). (See Wyman).
