    • d/o James NEWTE (sent by Mason to Dover 1631 d. 1671. Selectman.)
      ——
      In the little Nute burying ground on the old Nute farm (next to John Damme's 20 acre lot on Back River) on the west side of the river, there are only three headstones with inscriptions. These are the graves of James Nute, founder of the Nute family in this country, and of Martha Damme and her husband, the upper part of the stone bearing his Christian name having been broken off and apparently lost. There are other graves but none marked to indicate to whom they belong. The mere fact that Martha Dam was buried by the side of James Nute is pretty good evidence that she was a pretty close relative. She was born in 1653, and it is quite evident that she must have been a daughter, and was was born apparently in 1620 or 1621. p267. [5]
