Richard Shute was born October 16, 1792, in Dover, England, the son of John Shute and his wife Susan.
Richard Shute and his brother John/William immigrated with their father John Shute in 1802. His mother Susan remained in England. Brother William was bound out until he became 21 years of age. No trace of William has been found.
During war of 1812 Richard traveled up the Wabash River Valley as far as Tippicanoe. He was in the Army of General William Henry Harrison and was at the Battle of Tippecanoe. The Army passed over the creek that is on the Robert William Gouty farm. He liked the lay of the land and vowed to return. He purchased land a mile or two south of the Robert William Gouty farm in Vermillion County, Indiana. He served under Captain Peter Bacus with General William Henry Harrison. Richard was discharged March 03, 1813, and he returned to Scioto County Ohio. Richard purchased land in Vermillion County, Indiana, 08 February 1831, Certificate 16317, for "the west half of the south east quarter of section six in township nineteen north of range nine west in the district of lands subject to sale at Crawfordsville, Indiana, containing 80 acres".
Richard Shute married Hannah McCartney on March 31, 1814, in Scioto County, Ohio.(5) Hannah was a daughter of Daniel McCartney and his wife, Sarah Price.(6) Hannah McCartney was born February 03, 1796, in Virginia.(7) He migrated to the Gessie, Indiana, area with his wife, Hannah, and their four children, William, Daniel, John and Ephriam, in October 1829. Richard Shute and his family settled on land near Spring Creek, later known as the Howard Chapel vicinity.
Richard Shute and Hannah McCartney Shute were members of the Predestinarian Baptist Church that was built in Gessie in 1853 (Church was 20 x 30). Richard Shute donated the land for Hopewell Cemetery. His daughter Rebecca was the first person to be buried on that property.
Richard Shute died January 12, 1853, in Vermillion County, Indiana. He settled in southern Ohio in 1802 when he was 10 years old. He enlisted September 19, 1812, in the War of 1812 and served under Captain Peter Bacus. He was discharged March 03, 1813, and returned to Ohio. He moved to Vermillion County, Indiana, in October 1829. In 1839 he donated the land for Hopewell Cemetery.
