My grandmother (before she passed) was an avid Daughter's of the American Revolution participant, and she has shared with me some information so that my children and myself may be recorded as decendants of Ammi.

I’m not sure about the Menotomy Ammi Cutter’s military experience, but some of the other “old men” involved in that confrontation definitely fought in the French wars.J. L.

Thank you for the...Mr. Bell,<br />Greetings once again!<br /><br />Thank you for the further enlightenment regarding the Cutter family. For a moment I thought there may just be a connection between this "Old Man from Menotomy" and Rogers' Rangers. I stand corrected! Thanks also for this incredibly informative blog...I check in regularly, and read enthusiastically.

Dr. <a href="http://famousamericans.net/ammiruhamahcutter/" rel="nofollow">Ammi Ruhamah Cutter</a> of northern Massachusetts/Maine was the surgeon in Rogers’s Rangers. (His name appears in several forms.) The <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=MIxGAAAAMAAJ" rel="nofollow">history of the Cutter family</a> has a lot more about him.J. L.

I enjoyed your article on Dr. Cutter...and would like to point out (if ye didn't know!) that Ameriah Ruhamah Cutter served (according to B. Loescher's Vol. III History of Rogers' Rangers) as a Surgeon to Rogers' Rangers. "Commissioned May 25, 1757 by Lord Loudoun to be Surgeon to the Rangers." It further states that he left the Rangers on Oct. 10, 1757 "to recover his health." (Loescher, Vol. III, pg. 55) Mayhap his time with the Rangers gave him the wherewithal for later adventures?<br />Ye Servant,<br />Christopher Matheney<br />Captain of RangersCaptain Matheneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28102666.post-80408810117611217492010-06-07T16:22:39.585-05:002010-06-07T16:22:39.585-05:00Yes, as I’ll discuss tomorrow, that woman’s name w...Yes, as I’ll discuss tomorrow, that woman’s name was Batherick, Bathrick, or Baverick, depending on what old records one looks at. <br /><br />Thanks for the link to the Rev.

It was described to him the day after the battle.
