Hi Chuck,
I must have been thinking of you when I was typing. If you will look at
his signature on the drawing, it is Northcott.
(My gr-gr-grandmother was Martha Holliday. I can trace the Holliday
line back to the 1400s in England, with untold numbers of different
spellings. The earliest was Walter "The Minstrel" Haliday, who was in
charge of providing minstrels to entertain the court of the king. He
even has his own page in Wikipedia.)

I think you have the name correct here but not where you've posted the
image.
Chuck NorcUtt, not NorcOtt. (even thought the latter is likely closer
to the original which was probably derived from North Cottage. In any
case the U has been there since long before the 1600s.)

About a week ago, Jay Burleson posted images of a Round Barn, leading to
some ensuing discussion. Sixty years ago, there were round barns in
southern Tennessee. While they are now gone, I have a pencil drawing by
my late friend, Don Northcutt, to remember them by. These were somewhat
unique, and, IIRC, they were attributed to Swiss settlers in the area.
We have several of Don's drawings. This one, fittingly enough, is
framed in recycled barn wood.
