CUTTS OF GOWRAN, JOHN CUTTS, BARON (1661 1707), British soldier, was educated at Catherine Hall, Cambridge. In 1686 he served under Charles of Lorraine in Hungary, and in 1688 as lieutenant-colonel in Holland. He fought for William in the English revolution of 1688, and in 169o, as commander of a regiment of foot, distinguished himself at the battle of the Boyne and at the siege of Limerick, for which William created him Baron Cutts of Gowran in the kingdom of Ireland. Later he served under Marlborough in the opening campaign of the War of the Spanish Succession, later being third in command at Blenheim. Cutts sat in five parliaments for the county of Cambridge, and under Anne was returned for Newport in the Isle of Wight.
