Robert McNutt was the son of John McNutt and Katherine Rebecca Anderson. He was a Private in the Revolutionary War, serving under Capt. McCutchan's Company. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Cowpens, as was his father John McNutt and brother in law, John McCorkle, his sister Rebecca's first husband.

Robert's is the "earliest known grave in the stonewalled cemetery," however the photo on the right, shows a new marker from the 1900's.

Morton's History of Rockbridge County says Robert McNutt was mortally wounded at Cowpens. He was an elder of Old Providence and it is not known whether he lived to get home, this stone was undoubtedly erected to his memory. (Unknown if he was buried here or if this was a cenotaph.)

He served in the Revolutionary War from Augusta; McNutt, Robert, buried at Old Providence Presbyterian Church Cemetery at routes 620 and 919, Spottswood Soldier. Status needs further verification. Sources: 2,63. Found online 10-07 at http://jlarc.state.va.us/reports/rpt249.pdf.

"He served in the "Gilmore Rifles" of the Rockbridge County (Virginia) Militia under Captain James Gilmore. He was mortally wounded in the battle at the Cowpens." PATRIOTS KILLED OR MORTALLY WOUNDED IN THE BATTLE AT THE COWPENS (As noted in Patriots at the Cowpens by Dr. Bobby G. Moss) as seen at http://lib.jrshelby.com/cowpens%20patriot%20fatalities.pdf.

Robert was the "nephew of James McNutt 1740-1811; elder of Old Providence."

His nephew, Dr. Robert B. McNutt, was named for his uncle Robert (above), who, as a soldier of the Revolution, lost his life under Green, in the Carolinas." Henrietta H. McCormick's Genealogies and Reminiscences, Chicago, 1897, p 109.
