some sources give death as 1790

some sources give birthplace as Turkey, Sampson Co., North Carolina, others give it as New Hanover, Duplin Co., NC

note: Sampson County was part of Duplin County until 1784.

Kenansville, in the fertile coastal plain of southeast North Carolina, was settled about 1735 by Swiss, German and Irish immigrants, who called their town Golden Grove. In 1818 Kenansville was renamed for Gen. James Kenan, a member of the House of Commons who fought in the Revolution and helped ratify the Constitution and formulate the Bill of Rights.
Many of Kenansville's old houses have been restored. There are three antebellum churches that have changed little since the 19th century; among them is 1736 Grove Church, the oldest Presbyterian congregation in the state. Brochures of Kenansville are available at the town hall on Rutledge Rd.; phone (910) 296-0369.

The Obituary of William McCutchen, as recorded by the GEORGIA JOURNAL in 1827.

Died at his residence in Henry County on the 22d Oct. 1827 William McCutchen age 67 years, after a lingering affliction of 11 months who faced up under every dispensation with almost unparelleled Christian fortitude in witness of that religion which he admired for about 28 years as a member of the Methodist Church - retaining his perfect recollection till a few hours before his departure, perfectly resigned to depart and be at rest - leaving a tender and affectionate wife and eight children to lament their loss, which time cannot repair.
