From Harmon Cutler to Robert Eugene Cutler

This blog follows a specific line of Cutler lineage. The line starts with Harmon Cutler (wife Agnes McGregor), moves to their son William Cutler (wife Tinie Sarah Smith), moves to their son Eugene Marlborough Cutler (wife Bessie Adams), and finally to Robert Eugene Cutler (wife Opal Maxine Rowley). The line can be seen in the genealogy chart below. Other individuals mentioned will be John Spreeuw, second husband to Bessie Adams; Dolores Bednorz, second wife of Eugene Marlborough; and Evelyn Joy Barker, second wife to Robert Eugene Cutler.

I will attempt to provide as much information as possible about each of the men, as well as their wives. In the case of individuals who are living, I will NOT be providing information.

Cutler Crest and Name history

The name Cutler came originally from the Old French "Cotelier," or knife-maker. It's use as a surname is of AngloSaxon origin. Because names were spelled phonetically, different spellings were used including Cutlere, Cuttler, Coutler, Coutlere, Coutlar, Cutlar, Cutlur, Cutlare, Cuttlar, Cuttlure, Couttler, Couttlere, etc.

The first record of the name comes from London, England, in roughly 1212, from Ralph and Peter Cutler who had land in that area. The Cutlers moved into Yorkshire, and some even up to Scotland. Most Cutlers still in England live in Suffolk in the present day.

Around the time of Cromwell (16th/17th century), many Cutlers moved to Ireland and the New World. Many Cutlers moved to America, Canada, and even Barbados.
