Notes
a. Note:   From the book "Genealogy of the Swink Family of Missouri" by Robert A. Swink; The Star-News Publishing Co., Pasadena, California, 1940. This is about George's wife Sarah Ann, but has a lot of information about George: Page 20-21; SARAH ANN SWINK Sarah Ann, known as Sallie, married George McNutt, on the 14th day of March, 1855, at her father's home on the Saline Creek in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. They made their home on her husband's farm about two and a half miles north of Festus, in Jefferson County, Missouri, on the St. Louis road. The school for this district is located on a corner of his farm, on land donated by him and is known as the McNutt School. They lived here until 1884, then moved to an adjoining tract owned by their son-in-law, Charles H. Fake. Here they a built a fine house and made other improvements. This was nearer Festus. George McNutt, born Oct. 11, 1816, was a devout Presbyterian. Bible reading and prayer after breakfast, and prayer in the evening was the daily program. The author had the pleasure of visiting them often, and says from personal knowledge that he never has seen a family more considerate of one another. Sue Mary De Witt made her home with the McNutt family from babyhood, almost continually until her death. Her parents had died of smallpox. She had a very active and inquiring mind and played a dominant part in church and other gatherings to which she belonged. She was called Sudie by the homefolks. All who knew the McNutts knew her, for she was a part of the family. She died at the home of Madie McNutt Fake in Bonne Terre in 1918, and was buried there. She was not related to the McNutts. Ida Laverina Ford, born September 14, 1871, came to live with the McNutts when she was two years of age. Her parents likewise had died. She attended the McNutt school when Madie McNutt was teacher. She married Robert Lavely, February 5, 1889, and they have two children. Ida was not related to the McNutts, but was treated as one of the family. Uncle George McNutt died on October 8th, 1890, and is buried in the Gamel graveyard near Festus, Missouri. His wife, Sarah Ann, and her mother Eliza Swink, enjoyed the enviable reputation of having the most pleasant dispositions of any women in the communities in which they lived. Sarah Ann, called Sallie, was a member of the Christian Church. She died on the old home place, March 3, 1899, and was buried along side of her husband in the Gamel graveyard. =============== From the 1860 Federal Census in Jefferson County, Missouri, Joachim Township, Peevly Post Office, taken August 14, 1860, household #1093: McNutt, G.

Two are for "McNutt, Geo." One of these in Section 30 for 165 acres, with a building and an orchard. This is likely the family residence. The other in Section 31, for 25 acres. The third record is for "McNutt & Swink" in Section 31 for 75 acres. I would guess this is property owned jointly by George and his brother-in-law John E. Swink. All of these parcels are located north and east of Festus. ====================== From the 1880 Federal Census of Joachim Township, Jeffeson County, Missouri, Crystal City, district 193, page 59, taken July 1, 1880, household #487; from ancestry.com, image 59 of 60: McNutt, George; male, age- 63, head of household, married, occupation- farmer, born- Tennessee, parents born- Tennessee ------ Sarah; female, age- 50, wife, married, occupation- keeps house, born- Tennessee, father born- Virginia, mother born- Tennessee ------ Mary A.; female, age- 20, daughter, at home, born- Missouri, parents born- Tennessee ------ M.

The school was replaced sometime later and named for George McNutt who donated land on Telegraph Road for both the school and the Joachim church...." ================== From History of Jefferson County, Misouri and Festus and Crystal City, Missouri; compiled by Howard C. Litton, 2nd Edition, 1987: ****** Page 39; "McNutt School First House of Worship for Local Presbyterians- by Mrs. F. O. Horn: The Joachim Presbyterian Church was organized in 1872 in the McNutt schoolhouse on Telegraph Road, so called because in the early days a telegraph line along this road connected the city of St. Louis and the village of Ste. Genevieve. The two lines were connected together between Festus and Pevely. Services were held in the McNutt school house, where, in 1870, a Sunday School had held services. The school was then known as the Hawkwood school house.... ....When the church was built, George McNutt gave the lumber, oak, and walnut taken from his farm..."
