According to Hal Tutor, of Harnett Co., NC, two old aunts were buried in the William Madison Tutor cemetery. It is unknown who Owen Tutor’s daughters, Frances Samantha Tutor (b. c. 1805) and Mary Tutor (b. c. 1810) married. However, William Manning Moore stated that Frances Samantha Tutor married a Baker and Mary Tutor married a Spence. A Susan Baker was listed in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses. She lived with William Tutor at the time of the 1870 census. Might Susan Baker have been the daughter that William Manning Moore gave as Frances Samantha Tutor? A Mary Spence was listed in the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses. Might she have been the other daughter? Hal Tutor did say that the two old aunts were spinsters. The definition of a spinster is “an unmarried woman, typically an older woman beyond the usual age for marriage.”

William Madison Tutor Family Cemetery - Harnett County, NC. Contributed by M. R. Tutor, April 18, 2004. The William Madison Tutor family cemetery can be accessed by driving through or walking through Gertrude Johnson's fields. The stones are located within a tree line across a field from the remains of several buildings, including William Tutor's old house. All that remains of the house are the stone porch and fireplace. The property is located south of Duncan, North Carolina. There are eight people known to be buried in the cemetery but there are most likely others:
2. Harriet Ligon Tutor, b. 1822 - d. c. 1890; 2nd wife of William Madison Tutor
3. Alfred "Ap" Young Tutor, b. 7/16/1853 - d. 9/3/1940; youngest son of William and Harriet Tutor
4. Lottie Honeycutt Tutor, b. 7/1857 - d. 1909; wife of Alfred "Ap" Young Tutor
5. John Tutor, b. 6/6/1887 - d.1887; son of Alfred and Lottie Tutor
6. Glover Tutor, b. 1898 - d. 1898; son of Alfred and Lottie Tutor
7. an old aunt is buried here, her name unknown at present [possibly Susan Baker]
8. an old aunt is buried here, her name unknown at present [possibly Mary Spence]
Stones 1, 2, 7, and 8 rise six feet out of the ground and are of sandstone construction. Stones 3, 4, 5, and 6 rise only three feet out of the ground. Very little can now be read on the stones but otherwise the stones seem to be in good condition.
