Title	Aaron and Mary Nutt Oil Portraits
Subject	Geography and Natural Resources Surveying Portraits
Place	Centerville (Ohio) Montgomery County (Ohio)
Description	These two 24" x 30" (60.96 x 76.2 cm) oil portraits depict Aaron and Mary Nutt, early settlers of Centerville, Ohio. The family immigrated to Centerville in 1796. Born in New Jersey in 1758, Aaron Nutt moved his family to Kentucky. There, he and two brothers-in-law, Benjamin Archer and Benjamin Robbins, were hired in 1796 by Judge John Cleve Symmes to survey land north of the Ohio River and between the Great and Little Miami Rivers. They were paid in land. However, Symmes had only informally contracted to purchase the land from the federal government and began selling it before it was paid for. Symmes' funds could not cover the cost of the entire purchase, and land sales north of Lebanon, Ohio were declared invalid. Nutt and others were forced to repurchase their land from the federal government. Some settlers could not meet the additional financial burden and departed, but Nutt was able to pay the taxes and finally repurchase his acreage. Nutt served in several positions as a Washington township official. He died in 1842 at the age of 83 and is buried in the Old Centerville cemetery.
