230 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
Whether David Cutten or Cutting had been at Louisburg or not 
we do not know. He married in Dudley, Worcester County, Mas- 
sachusetts (intention recorded January 11, 1744), Sarah Edmunds, 
probably a sister of the wife of Joseph Scott, who bore him in Oxford, 
Mass., at least four children—John, Mary, Sarah and William; and 
settled in Onslow where still many of his descendants remain. After 
a few years in Onslow, however, he returned to Massachusetts, and it 
was no doubt he who married in Dudley, March 4, 1770, Dorothy Sabin, 
daughter of Joseph and Mehitabel Sabin, born December 30, 1727, in 
Pomfret, Connecticut, from which place the Sabin family evidently 
- removed to Dudley. 
Daniel Knowlton of Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut, and 
later of Ware River, Massachusetts, it is said had gone to Louisburg in 
1745, at the age of nineteen. When the siege was over, the history of 
the Knowlton family says, he accepted the invitation of a comrade to 
visit him at Nappan, near Amherst, and there learned much about the 
Nova Scotian peninsula. Returning to Ashford, before long he married 
Zerviah Wadkins, who bore him six children, and when Lawrence’s 
proclamation was issued he applied for land in Onslow. Settling here 
he became one of the most active men in the township, but in 1770 he 
sold his Onslow land and removed to Fort Sackville, where in 1783 he 
received a grant of two thousand acres on the Fort Cumberland road. 
At Fort Sackville he permanently settled, marrying secondly, in 1762, 
Mary, widow of Lieutenant Joseph Scott. His prominence in the On- 
slow settlement is shown by a vote of the town of October 25, 1765, 
commissioning him, with John Steel, to go to Halifax to bring back the 
township grant. He died about 1795. His daughter Eleanor, born in 
1752, was married in 1774 to Nathan Upham, son of Richard Upham, 
one of his comrades in the Louisburg campaign and an associate pro- 
prietor of Onslow. 
Jacob Lynds or Lynde or Lines was born in Malden, Massachusetts, 
May 18, 1716, his parents being Thomas and Lydia (Green) Lynde. 
The family is wrongly stated by Mr. Thomas Miller in his “ Historical 
and Geneological Record of the First Settlers of Colchester County” 
to have been from Ireland; it was an English family early settled in 
Charlestown, Mass., and so as far we know, not in any way connected 
with the North of Ireland. Jacob Lynds married (intention March 28, 
1746) Mary Gould or Goold of Stoneham, Mass., and had children 
born in Malden: Merey, born June 22, 1747, died August 3, 1749; 
Thomas, born December 23, 1748; Jacob and Mary, twins, born July 
27, 1751; Bernard; born October 26, 1752; Lydia, born March 25, 
1755; John, born March 30, 1757; Ruth, born November 6, 1759. A
