Julia Augusta Williams was the daughter of Austin Williams and Caroline Routh.
Julia was born August 11, 1822 at Routhlands Plantation (84 Homochitto Street, a late 18th-century, one-story structure which Job Routh later increased to two stories with columns and upper galleries on two sides)
Julia was only 18 when she married Dr. Haller Nutt in 1840.
She was the mother of 11 children.
Widowed in 1864, Julia Nutt continued living at the unfinished Longwood Plantation.
Her son, Sargeant Prentiss Nutt (later Knut), gave assistance and council to his mother Julia.
Julia and the children lived on in the cellar doing only a minimum to maintain the great hulk looming over them. She died in 1897 and was buried beside her husband in the Longwood family cemetery. Grandchildren owned Longwood until 1968.

At Longwood, near Natchez, Miss., last Tuesday Mrs. Julia Nutt, mother of Calvin and Sargeant Prentis Nutt of this city, died. Mrs. Nutt was the widow of Mr. Hallan Nutt, a wealthy Mississippi planter, who remained loyal to the Union at the outbreak of the war and rendered valuable services to General Grant during his Mississippi campaign. Mr. Nutt died in the early years of the war, and Mrs. Nutt was left with a large family of young children to struggle with most adverse circumstances. She was, like her husband, true to the Union, and kept her home at Longwood through all the vicissitudes of war and the troublous years that followed, and there passed the declining years of her life admired and respected by all her old friends.
