Cutts, John, Sir (1581 -1646)
Sir John Cutts, of Childerleigh in Cambridgeshire, was the eldest son of Sir John Cutts, of Horham Hall, Essex, Shenley Hall, Hertfordshire, and Childerleigh, and his second wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir John Brockett, of Brockett Hall in Hertfordshire. He married, firstly, Anne, daughter and coheir of Sir Thomas Kempe, of Olanteige in Kent, they had an only daughter, who died in infancy. He married, secondly, Anne, daughter of Sir John Weld, of Arnolds in Middlesex, and they had two sons. The elder son John was created a Baronet in 1660, but died unmarried in 1670, when the baronetcy became extinct and the estate passed to a distant relative, Richard Cutts Esq. of Woodhall in Essex. His second son and eventual heir, John Cutts, was created Baron Cutts of Gowran in the peerage of Ireland in 1690, and died without issue in 1707, having sold Childerley to Felix Calvert in 1686. These quarterings, among others, were confirmed to Sir John Cutts in 1633 by Sir Richard St George, Clarenceux King of Arms.
