Notes - From The Ancestry of Abel Lunt by Walter Goodwin Davis, citation details below:
Mary Cutting was quite able to manage her husband's affairs while he was at sea. From an unnamed place (probably Newbury) she wrote an undated (1639?) letter to the governor, addressing him as Right Worshipfull John Winthrop : "I have made bold to desire you to establish your promise in helping mee in an un expected case which is this." She goes on to say that when living in England her husband bound a man to them for a term of eight years, brought him over this year and left him here to accompany her other seamen. While Capt. Cutting was in the Bay, Capt. Thorneback, the servant's near kinsman, arrived from Virginia and talked with him about releasing the man, which Capt. Cutting would do if compensated. The servant, without her knowledge, had gone off with his goods in her shallop to the Bay (apparently after Capt. Cutting's departure) and she asks the governor to cause Capt. Thorneback either to pay for his time, £20 being little enough for three and a half years, or help in returning him. She adds that she had acquainted the Deputy Governor with the facts more at large. [...]
In 1655 Tristram Coffin testified that from five to seven years ago he heard Mrs. Cutting, as attorney for her husband who had gone to sea, bargain with Josiah Cobham and Richard Currier for two lots of meadow in Salisbury. In the same court Samuel Winsley, Sen., deposed that in this business he had gone to Charlestown to see Mr. Cutting and his wife.
