Joseph's brother Alexander Gallatin McNutt, wrote a letter to his mother Rachel G. McNutt, from Vicksburg, MS on 27 Jun 1833 about Joseph's death. My Dear Mother, Joseph, died of cholera a few minutes since. He was taken sick of fever 10 day ago, and the doctors thought him out of danger day before yesterday. But the disease changed to cholera night before last. He was attended by 3 physicians, but all in vain. His last words were, "Gallatin, I'm going to die. I want Benjamin to have my little property during his life, and then it to go to Sally. Say to my mother and sisters that my my last thoughts were of them. Take good care of me while I am in this world; God will take care of me in the next. Farewell." I cannot write more. Your son, A.G. McNutt. Genealogies and Reminiscences, Henrietta Hamilton McCormick, 1897, Chicago, p 104-105.
