Last name: Cutting
Recorded as Cutten, Cuttin, Cutton, Cutting and the patronymic Cuttings, this interesting and unusual surname is medieval English. In a sense it is a nickname being a short form of the early given name Cudbeort, the later Cuthbert, and meaning bright-famous! "Cuth" was the original 14th century nickname to which was added the diminutive ending of -en, -in, or - ing all broadly meaning "Little Cuth", or more logically son of Cuth. It is said that the name developed its popularity because of St Cuthbeort, a 7th Century saint, who was firstly bishop of Hexham, and later of bishop of Lindisfarne. He created such a christian cult around him that the name remained very popular as a personal name, (as well as being a surname with some forty spellings), as late as the 20th century in Northern England, and parts of Scotland. Ex amples of early recordings include John Cutting, master of the ship "Francis," which sailed to New England from Ipswich, Suffolk, on April 30th 1634, whilst a John Cuttin and his wife Lidia were christening witnesses at the church of St Mary Whitechapel in the city of London, on March 11th 1641. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Cutting. This was dated 1221, in the pipe rolls of the county of Norfolk, during the reign of King Henry IIIrd of England, 1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original

Who is Bob Cutting?
I am a Danbury Ct. native, currently living in Bethel Connecticut, USA. My father came here to work as a Federal prison officer. He planned this ahead of time, when he knew the prison was planned to be built in Danbury, He spent his honey moon with my mom, traveling to Atlanta Georgia for training. When that was complete, he was transferred to Terre Haute Indiana and when the Danbury prison was completed, spent the rest of his days in Danbury Ct.
As a young child, I showed a strong mechanical ability, being tested in high school and found to be in the 98 th percentile for mechanical aptitude. I also had an interest in helping others. In short, I would take things apart and yes, put them back together again, and in the case of motors, teach others how they worked!
In my early teens, with Vice President, Andy Wasserman, we formed a soapbox racing club for children, run by the children, making, governing and enforcing the rules and advised by adults. We were honored by the then Mayor, Gino Arconti for our efforts via this helping to make the City of Danbury CT. a better place to live.
Later in life, I would drive a school bus, like my father did, part time. At the age of 21 this would grow into management of the Candlewood Valley Bus Company helping to make it grow from 22 school buses, to well over 300 and into city, charter and transit buses before being sold by the owners, My part was in establishing a safety record unheard of locally with a 2/10 ths of 1% loss ratio. My secret was maintaining a good and honest repore' with my drivers and mechanics, I also served as safety director for Dunn Bus Company, a National Student Marketing company, and Dufour Brothers which today has evolved into the John Dufour Jr's.and David Lintern's company under a different name.
Today, I have a landscaping business which best expresses my love for working out doors and the family influence of my Uncle Frank who was the chief greenskeeper at Sebago Lodge in Popom Bay, Maine and my brother in law, Bill Hodges business out of South Salem NY. I am currently laid off as a pastor, but keep several Ministries going in my life, Serving God is where my heart, but currently not my income, is at. I attend, with my wife, Elsa, St. Paul's Church in Brookfield Ct, It is the most loving Church that we could find and one that God directed us to after my lay off from the Church where I received my ordination by an Act of God, as I put it. I serve in the choir and as a lay minister, recently certified as a Eucharistic Minister.
I urge everyone who reads this to find the most loving Church they can find for their families. Love is the foundation of God's message to us, Christ simply wants a relationship with each of us. My story of faith is best covered on my Ministries page.
PS: The picture above was taken at one of the happiest days of my life, when our Church decided to license, my friend James Pitts. You see he had too much experience with the Holy Spirit for some Baptist's to license. Jim is from Georgia and I am in constant touch with him. We met at the Billy Graham Training Center. And as of recently we both had evangelistic trips to Africa. Jim and his new wife Sarah to Kenya and myself to Tanzania.
