Hi pendlelad,
Have you checked out the parish records of St Mary, Newchurch in Pendle? Many of the Nutter family lived, and still live in this area and I believe there are family connections to Colne. For example the Lancs OPC Project has the baptism of a Henry who, if I'm understanding correctly, (and I'm out of practice with look-ups) could be a candidate for your illiterate Henry.
Baptism: 7 Mar 1779 St Mary, Newchurch in Pendle, Lancashire, England
Henry Nutter - Son of Elias Nutter & Alice, his wife
Abode: Sadlers
Occupation: Farmer
