William Cutter (1650-1723) was born 22 February 1649/50 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to Richard and Elizabeth (--?--) Cutter.  He died 1 April 1723 in Cambridge.  William married Rebecca Rolfe (1662-1751) before 1681 in Cambridge; she was born 9 February 1661/2 in Newbury, Massachusetts, the daughter of John and Mary (Scullard) Rolfe.  They had 10 children.

William and Rebecca (Rolfe) Cutter are my 7th great-grandparents.  I am descended through their son Richard Cutter (1682-1756) who married in 1722 to Mercy Kelsey (1698-1760) in Woodbridge, New Jersey as his second wife.
