Cutting was born in New York City to William Cutting (1773–1820) and Gertrude Livingston (1778–1864). He was the brother of William Leonard Cutting (1799-1826), Henry Livingston Cutting (1806-1821), Charles Grenville Cutting (1808-1890), Julia Gertrude Cutting (1810-1834), Robert Livingston Cutting (1812–1887), Anne Frances Cutting (1813-1887), who married Baron Alfred Ruebell, and Robert Fulton Cutting (1816–1875), who married Elise Justine Bayard, and Walter Livingston Cutting (b. 1817).
He was a nephew of Henry Walter Livingston (1768–1810), and the grandson of Walter Livingston (1740–1797) and Cornelia Schuyler Livingston (1746–1822).
