John gives testimony in regards to the death of Roger Oliver, who was killed on board his own vessel by an American Indian - he had been one of four men involved in a trading expedition with Roger. This is the first record of him in Maryland. At this time in Virginia, colonists were in a great state of fear and excitement regarding threat from the American Indians. The local court ordered that the powder and shot in the hands of Mr. John Nuthall be seized by the sheriff and that Nuthall be reimbursed for same. However, John Nuthall was still privileged to barter in Maryland, and was authorized to seize boats engaged in trade without licenses.
