Located in Tymochtee township, Originally was platted starting 20' north of Township Highway 36 and 400' west of Township Highway 40. The area is wooded with a ravine bordering the north and west sides. It is platted for 89 graves but most may have been unused.

Note from Steve Coffman: I have found maps of the Tymoch Twp cemeteries. It is my belief that the Cutting Cem was NOT located where the stones are currently. I believe that a past farmer (I have the name, but that's not important) moved the stones to the hilltop in the early 1900's. He also likely used some stones for a sidewalk, as an older resident has said he remembers the sidewalk being made of tombstones. I believe that the original cemetery was located next to the creek west of the current site. It used to curve in a manner that fits the odd shape of the cemetery plat. It currently runs N-S in the area in question. Sam Leighton's stone is no longer visible. It either has been stolen or has become hidden beneath leaves

From Charles Faber dated May 2008: I am an archaeological/historical researcher of the Delaware, Wyandot and Negrotown people in Wyandot County. My relationship with the Wyandot Tribe goes back many years and now I'm putting together a project to identify and protect those burial sites in Wyandot County.
I've read and used your website for years and would like to thank you for your efforts.
This morning I noted the comments Steve Coffman made regarding the Cutting Cemetery in Tymochtee Twp. It's always been my understanding that the cemetery was named for a Cutting who was the first miller at the old Wyandot mill. He fell from a beam during mill construction, drown in the Sandusky river and was the first burial in the cemetery.
Supposedly there were African-americans from Negrotown and also Wyandot Indians buried there. Since it's very closed to the Wyandot Indian Villages of Half-King, McCormick's Town and the Negrotown area this would make sense.
Jonathon Pointer is also supposed to be buried there.
BTW: We would use ground-penetrating radar to locate or correlate the cemetery sites.
