[Bill's Nutt.FTW] Quoted from source: When Jesse Franklin Nutt was about 17 years of age, he wanted to go to Texas and started out; however, he was stopped by his dad who told him he could go when he was of age, 21. In about 1891 he left home in Gibson County, Tennessee and started out for Texas. He stopped in Fort Worth, Texas and worked in the railroad yards there and later went on down to Tolar, Texas. Here he bought a 200 acre tract of land (a copy of the Deed is included herein). He later sold 100 acres of this tract to his dad, H. J. Nutt. You will notice that J. F. added the Jr. to his name in these deeds. He was not a "Jr." but this distinguished him from Jesse F. Nutt who was the son of David G. Nutt who also lived in Hood County, Texas (as related by Flora Hopping Nutt). Recorded in the family Bible, now in possession of Glenn Nutt, is a note that "Harris J. Nutt, with children, arrived in Granbury, Texas on 11 November 1890." Jesse had a house and all the furnishings ready for his bride when he and Flora married. - and included herein is a picture of this house and he and Flora are on the porch. I have also included a picture of Jesse and his team of white horses that appear to be carriage horses (nor working horses) ...you will notice the buggy whip in Jesse's hand which would further confirm that these were carriage horses. Jesse and his dad farmed the 200 acre tract together. Later on Jesse had a tin shop in Tolar where he made things such as stove pipe, well casing, tubs, buckets, pans -- things that today you would go to say Sears to buy ... you will notice these items in the picture of this tin shop which is also included herein. Another thing you will notice in this picture is the baby buggy ... the baby in the buggy is his daughter Almeda ... we think he was in this business about 1906.
