The Cutter family has resided principally in Menotomy, now Arlington, and in the adjoining sections of Charlestown (or Somerville) and Medford. So numerous are its branches, and such a similarity of names occurs in the fam- ilies, that it is very possible some mistakes may be found in the preceding arrangement. For a very full genealogy, see " A History of the Cutter Family of New England," compiled by Dr. Benjamin Cutter, and revised with large additions by his son William Richard Cutter, 1871.
