The will of Capt. Thomas Clagett (d 1703) gives to "brother Richard, dewlling plantation bought of John Veitch, Clagett's Design ...". Is he related to the Nathan Veach who married your Ann Clagett? Ann is NOT shown as a daughter of Capt. Thomas Clagett in his will or in my other sources.
Have you learned anything further about Mary, the wife of Thomas Clagett, variously shown as Mary Hooper, Mary Nutter, and Mary Winter? Your theory that the name Nutter came from the Mary Nutter who married Thomas Hooper seems plausible. But where does Winter come from? The only verified identity for her is Mary (surname unknown), widow of Richard Hooper. Let me know if you discover anything.
