Sunday, November 01, 2009. My Connections to Jacob Nutter. You can also see that by February of 1776, Jacob lists his town of residence as Kittery.

This journal is actually fictional as Nutter documented very little of his experience during these 4 years; rather this is a compilation written from Nutter's perspective based on first hand accounts of others, historical documents and the many books written about this important part of America's early navy.
