Additional information about Roger Cuttance

Andrew found additional information about Roger Cuttance. Andrew says that Roger Cuttance played a prominent role in the First Anglo-Dutch War. In 1655, he took part in the expedition to Tunis. He had been Edward Montagu's flag captain at the Restoration, and he continued in that role, after the ship was renamed Royal Charles. He followed him to the Royal James and then to the Royal Prince. From 1662 to 1663, he was a member of the Tangier committee. Tangier had been part of the dowery for Katherine of Braganza, when she married Charles II. In 1665, he was knighted, and then was implicated in the prize goods scandal. He was also a member of the fishery committee. He died in 1669, about the same time as William Penn and Sir Thomas Allin. I have just slightly augmented Andrew's information from what I know from other sources.
