Anna Dorcas Dutton was born in New Haven, Connecticut, to Reverend Thomas Dutton and Sarah Maria Whiting. She was educated at Grove Hall in New Haven, a girls' academy owned and supervised by her Aunt Mary Dutton. In 1865, she moved to Cedar County, Iowa, with her parents and two younger brothers, Samuel Aaron and Thomas H. Dutton. On 24 November 1870, she was wed to Clinton Delos Orcutt at the Congregational Church in Davenport. The officiating minister was Pastor Rev. Edwin E. Webber. According to a newspaper article, "the bridal party made a very brilliant and attractive appearance."
In 1887, the Orcutt family moved from Durant, Iowa, to Omaha, Nebraska, where they built an expansive home at 550 S. 96th Street. Anna and Clinton suffered the loss of two sons. George in 1886 due to consumption, age 12, and Louis DeForest in 1891, age 19, cause unknown. After the death of Clinton Orcutt in February 1905, the Orcutt's eldest daughter, Marion Edith Orcutt Beaton, resided in the family home until January 1907. The Orcutts had two other daughters, Anna Ri Orcutt Jaques and Jane Clare Orcutt Keeline.
The Excelsior wrote the following after Anna Orcutt's death in 1899: "Mrs. Orcutt while denied by a never vigorous constitution a conspicuous place in the social activities of the city and her church, nevertheless enjoyed the entire friendship of the circle in which she moved by selection, and also of those whose needs received her instantaneous benefactions. Her especial sphere of devotion was her home, out of which in recent years went two sons by death and in which she leaves three daughters and her husband, who severally and together merit, as they receive, the condolence and sympathy of their many firends."
