Col. Nethercutt was the son of Loftin Nethercutt and Nancy Barfield. He first married Zilpha Quinn in 1846 in Duplin County, North Carolina. They had three children before Zilpha's early death at the age of 29, perhaps from complications of child birth, Christopher, Lafayette, and Cornelia. In 1856 in Jones County, North Carolina, the Colonel married Susan Matilda Dixon. They had a daughter, Cora. Colonel Nethercutt commanded Companies F & S, 66 North Carolina Infantry, Confederate. Colonel John H. Nethercutt and his wife were shot at their home because he had offered testimony that implicated a former CSA soldier in instigating a desertion of numerous men. He died but Susan received a head wound and survived.

Jones County Items.
In the church yard at Trenton, just a few yards back of the church house, lies buried as brave an officer as drew a sword in defence of his State, Col. John Hussey Nethercutt, Col. 66th, Reg. N. C. T., without even so much as a rough board to mark his grave.
Bro. Comrades of the 66th, it is a burning shame to let his grave lie neglected when a small sum contributed from a few of us would purchase a plain tomb stone for his grave and build a neat fence around it. I would suggest to each one who will contribute anything to forward it to Luby Harper, sheriff of Greene, who would take a pleasure in carrying out the wishes of the contributors.
