• It appears from the above list that three distinct families of Tuttles came together in the Planter. Of these, John settled in Ipswitch, Mass., Richard settled in Boston, and William in New Haven.

• Prior to the embarkation on the Planter in April, 1635, we have no positive knowledge. The usual time of a voyage from Gravesend to Boston was about ten weeks. He arrived with his family about the first of July. About a year later "Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttell united with the church in Boston July 24, 1636."* There are two subsequent entries on the church record: "Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttell brought to be baptized a son Jonathan, July2, 1637," and "Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttell brought to be baptized a son David, April 7, 1639." The colonial records of Mass., of New Haven and of Conn. conatin in a few scattered fragments nearly all that is known of William Tuttle, From these, however, we are able to form some idea of his social position, associations, circumstances, employments and of his general character.
• In the passenger list of the Planter he is called "husbandman." The distinction between a husbandman and a farmer was, the husbandman was a proprietor and tilled his own acres: the farmer was a leaseholder and paid rent. It appears, however, from a petition on file in the Secretary of State's office in Boston, that he was a merchant, and this might be partly inferred from his joining Mr. Eaton's company, many of whom had been engaged in commercial perseits in the old country, and whose purpose was to found a commercial city in the new. The petition is as follows, without date: "To the right worshipful Thomas Dudley, Esq., and to the magistrates and deputies of this General Court, now in Boston assembled. The humble petition of Major Nehemiah Bowne, Edward Tynge, William Tutthill, Joseph Youngs, William Payne, John Milam and James Oliver, with divers others, being merchants and owners of the ketch, called the Zebuton, now belonging to Ipswich." Abstract of Petition. __Intend to send the said ketch to the Indies and ask for two guns to arm her. This is refused.__ Mess. Arch., Vol 60, p. 168.

• The corporation is now a great landed propietor. Hence a peculiar interest attaches to this, its first acquisition of real estate. It is now 243 years since its purchase from the Indians, during which period it has been held by but five proprietors, viz; Joshua Atwater, 16yrs.; William Tuttle and heirs, 30 yrs.; Hester Coster, 5 yrs.; the First Church of New Haven, 26 yrs.; Yale College, 166 yrs.
• On this very spot where William Tuttle lived and died, his great-grandson, Jonathan Edwards, studied, taught and achieved his "great and excellent tutorial renown." It is now and long has been the chosen gathering place of the students, where at leisure hours, they meet for general purposes or for social intercourse.

• Court, Jun 8, 1674, Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttoll said; "My late husband, Mr. Wm. Tuttoll of New Haven sold unto John Jones of New Haven 60 acres of outland near Stony River, being part of his 2d division, and Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttoll, wid. and relict and lawful administratrix of deceased, desired it might be recorded to Joane Jones, wid. of John.

• Ranking among the foremost of New England families, but belonging inseparably to the history and development of Connecticut is the Tuttle family. Branches of the ancient English family, however, were established throughout the New England Colonies in the early part of the seventeenth century. None of these have attained the distinction and note of the Connecticut Tuttles. Scions of the house have wielded large power in the industrial and commercial growth of Connecticut, and have achieved notable places in the professions and in the divine calling. The early Tuttle family played a prominent part in the public life of the Connecticut Colony, and the name is found with great frequency in important places in early Colonial registers. The early Tuttles were leaders of men, and later generations have not relinquished the prestige of the early family. The Tuttles of today are an honored and notable race.
• The surname Tuttle is of most remote antiquity, and its origin has been traced to the god Thoth or Toth on the Lower Nile in Egypt, vestiges of whose worship some antiquarians believe to have existed in early England. This would naturally give rise to numerous places dedicated to the worship of the god. At all events, we find throughout England "Totehills," which at the date of authentic history were hills with a good lookout against the enemy's approach. The eminent authority, Charles Wareing Bardsley, in his "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." states the origin of the surname to have been in the ancient Totehill, and makes no mention of an earlier origin in the worship of Thoth. In support of this, he draws attention to the fact that we still use the verb "tout" or "toat" in the sense of spying about.
• When the adoption of surnames spread over England. Toathill, Tootle, Tothill, Tootol, Tottle, Tootehill, Tuthill, Toutill and Tuttle appeared as surnames which had their origin in the place name "Totehill" and we find instances of the name in the very early registers. The first appearance of the name in Colonial America is in the year 1635. Numerous immigrants left the mother country and were the founders of large families. On the good ship "Planter," in 1635, came John, Richard and William Tuttle, from the parish of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England, bringing with them their families. John Tuttle, who is recorded as a mercer, aged thirty-nine years, according to the passenger list of the "Planter," settled in Ipswich; he was in Ireland in 1654, and probably died there, for his wife went to Carrickfergus, and wrote on April 6, 1657, that he died on December 30, 1656. ___________________________

• Richard (see below) William (see below) John (named in Simon's will, possibly the individual below) Thomas (the Thomas I couldn't identify with William b abt 1609 who I didn't know where he went yesterday were Thomas teh son of Simon, and William Tuttle the emigrant - from Jacobus's version.

• Fourth Generation
  • The following is actually William Tuttle, son of Simon, b 1607, as follows - from Jacobus. I previously had trouble placing who this was. More people than me think that this is two separate people, because peoples' web pages have a separate and distinct William b abt 1609 placed in various places on the family tree. Greene explains that before William Tuttles baptismal record was found that shows him born in 1607, he was thought to have been born in about 1609. The date and place of death makes it clear that this is the same William Tuttle as William the son of Simon.
  • - William b abt 1609, d in New Haven, CT, 1673, m Elizaabeth b England abt 1609-12, d New Haven, 12/30/1684, aged 76 (gravestone). Settled in Boston, MA, where his wife joined the church 1636. He moved to New Haven in 1639, early enough to be an initial signer of the agreement that created it.
  • William Tuttle b 24 Dec 1607 Ringstead, Northamptonshire, England, bapt Ringtead, Northamptonshire England 26 Dec 1607. d New Haven, CT Jun 1673. Married Elizabeth ____. Quite a number of these web sites identify her as Elizabeth Mathews, none of them say where they got it, I am suspicious because as you can see above, Elizabeth Mathews is the name of a woman who married the much earlier William Tuttle, sheriff and lord mayor in Devonshire, she daughter of a Welsh aristocrat. He d New Haven, CT, 30 Dec 1684.
  • He had an estate rated for 450 (pounds, shillings?) well above average size, his name often appears in records as busied in small affairs of the town, on committees and boards of arbitration, but never elected to public office or ran for public office. Fined in 1646 for falling asleep on the watch.
  • He went to Boston 1645, w first three children, in Boston to 1639, two more children, to Davenport 1639, one of first signers of orignl compact that founded Conne4cticut. (Price has Elizabeth b 1645 Ringstead, Simon b 1641 New Haven, Simon, Benjamin and Mercy b 1647-50 New Haven. Nathaniel b 1651 Ringstead.
  • William was much employed in public affairs. Titled "Mr." . Wealthy for his times. All of his sons and daughters married into the first families of the day. Elizabeth may have been related to Robert Hill or to his first wife; they tried to get custody of the youngest stepchild from the second wife after her husband died, and she didn't particularly seem to want the child. Pictures of Tuttle descendants from this couple, from George F Tuttle's Tuttle genealogy are on my Tuttle picture page ; they looked strikingly like Amzi Allen and a number of his immediate descendants.
    • 1. John b 1631 m Catharine or Cattarina Lane 11/8/1653. , dau of John, of Milford,

"He was the largest and tallest man of his time in Hartford, of strong mind and estimable character. The following children, as well as marriages to John Pantry and to a Wells, are traditionally attributed to this Ann/ Hannah. But Greene argues that these two marriages and these children belong to Hannah the daughter of Richard Tuttle, William's brother.
    • 3. Thomas b 1635 m Hannah Powell 5/25/1660 d 10/19.1710 a cooper, gauger and packer, juryman, constable, excused from training on account of gout 1689 (only 29 years old)

    • 7. Sarah b 4/1642 m John Slauson 11/22/1663 d 11/17/1676 She was murdered by her brother, Benjamin, who chopped her head apart with an axe, during a quarrel. Possibly it was about their dead father's considerable property; he said "he was afraid whe would do to him what he had done to her", whatever that meant. Her children testified that he came into her house carrying an axe and repeatedly struck her head with it, saying something about "I will teach you to Scold" and something they couldn't understand. Before this time, Sarah was a flirt, repeatedly in trouble for making out. In 1660, William Tuttle Sarah's father complained against Sarah and Jacob Murline for kissing and making out on a storage chest. The law provided for a fine aganist anyone who drew the attentions of a maid or maid servant without the permission of her parents, master, or guardians. This was not often enforced; William Tuttle was one of the few who went to such lengths of thinking they owned their children! "Mr. Tuttle pleaded that Jacob had endeavored to steal away his daughter's affections." (SAm Behling) The governor reported that Sarah had flirted and made out with Jacob in his house at a wedding. The court fined either of them 20 shillings, characterized their behavior as sinful and evil and Sarah's as bold, ordered both of them to mend their ways, and ordered Jacob to stay away from virgins. It seems Sarah's mother had told her not to keep company with him.
    • 8. Elizabeth b 11/9/1645 m Richard Edwards 11/19/1667 d 1688 became ancestor of Puritan Revivalist Jonathan Edwards. Elizabeth had a premarital affair with her husband, and also with another man, such that there was doubt about who was the father of her first child. There was a lawsuit, and Elizabeth and Richard were fined for sleeping together before marriage, and Richard was found to be the father. In any case, there was trouble concerning Elizabeth caring for the child, and her father ended up raising it. Elizabeth for some reason refused to sleep with her husband for years, resulting in an at first unsuccessful bid to divorce her. For one thing, he wanted to marry Mary Talcott, who had been fined for fornication with him. At his second effort, Richard argued that he was afraid of Elizabeth. "It became clear that Elizabeth herself was, at times, not in her right mind, and often threatened to murder her husband while he was asleep." Richard was granted the divorce, married Mary Talcott, and had six children. Nothing further is known of Elizabeth.
    • 9. Simon Tuttle b 1647 d 1719 m Abigail Beach. A founder of Wallingford,CT m Abigail Beach, dau of John Beach of Wallingford d 8/1722 had three children.
    • 10. Benjamin b bef 10/29/1648 New Haven, CT d CT 6/13/1677 age 28. "Died"? Hmmm. I like the way genealogies omit information. He was tried, convicted, and executed for murdering his sister with an axe. He came into her house one evening, and, in front of her children sitting at the table, beat her on the head with an axe while saying something only partially intelligible about "I'll teach you to scold!"
    • 11. Mercy b 1650 m 5/2/1667 Samuel Brown, son of Francis and Mary EDWARDS Brown She was accused at age 14 of stealing and drinking liquor. She chopped her 17-year-old (?) son, Samuel Jr, to death with an axe as he lay in his bed. Her husband said she had seemed rational, but the day before, she said she would have the children buried in the barn, because "dreadful times are coming". He said she had "slept but little for two or three nights before". Joseph Brown, age 24, testifed that she had thrown scalding water at him and he thought her "much out of her head". Mercy's sister Simon Tuttle and his wife thought she had seemed distracted "that morning and before". Mary Moss testified that "Mercy came to their house a little before the sad accident and wished Mr. Moss to look after her husband". Neighbors testified they had come to her house for fire and when she came out with it, she went down the hill towards the swamp seeming distracted. In jail, she seemed distracted, seemed much grieved at having given offense to someone who knew nothing of it. Those who took her to New Haven for trial testified that she seemed "shaken in her understanding". Though her attorney pleaded insanity, the jury found her guilty, and the judge sentenced her to die. It wasn't a popular verdict, the town felt she should be exonerated on the basis of insanity. But confusion resulting over the removal of the governor from his office allowed Mercy to escape execution.

Marriage Memo: The evidence points to the fact that Elizabeth & William were married at the beginning of the year that we would now call 1631 (at that time, the last month of the year was February), since their first son was born December 1631. William would have been about 23, older than most first marriages of his time, but he was the fourth born son of Symon Tuttell and may have had fewer young ladies to choose from.

We know he donated land to Yale College because his G Grandson, Rev. Jonathan Edwards history says "The summer of 1723 was devoted to theological studies at my father's house. In the fall I went to New Haven to receive the degree of Master of Arts. I was elected a tutor of Yale College and continued in this position two years. The only real estate then belonging to the college of Yale, was the old homestead of William Tuttle on which had been erected its first building".

This later was known to be the very spot where Edwards studied, taught, and won his great and excellent tutorial renown. Elizabeth Tuttle, the grandmother of Edwards, had passed the years of her childhood and youth, until as the wife of Richard Edwards, she removed to Hartford and became the ancestress of a glorious posterity, even though not revered during her life, but thought to be crazy by many in the community & eventually divorced by her husband Richard Edwards. Their posterity has reflected, perhaps, more luster, it is said, on the name of Yale, "than that of any pilgrim to these shores from the landing on the Plymouth Rock!"

_________________________

Came to New England aboard the Planter with two other Tuttle families: John who setteld in Ipswitch and Richard who settled in Boston. Recorded in the ship’s record is William, husbandman, age 26, Elizabeth, age 23, John, age 3 1/2, Anna, age 2 1/2 and Thomas, age 3 months when they set out. A girl age 11 named Maria Bill was also with them. [1]John and Richard were probably brothers (although John supposedly died in Ireland) and Jacobus (in Hale, House) says their mother Isabel accompanied them as well.

Elizabeth joined the church in Boston 24 Jul 1636. The family had two sons baptized in Boston in the early years, Jonathan and David. They moved by 1640 to New Haven.[2]

The profession of “husbandman,” listed on the passenger list, indicates he likely owned land, but he may also have been a merchant, as that was the profession of most of the other men in the company aboard ship. William is later listed as a creditor to a man named George Griggs in 1638 - along with John Tuttle, indicating a possible connection of some sort. On June 4 1639, the planters of Eaton’s company gathered in Mr. newman’s barn and signed the Church Covenant for the Quinnipiac Colony. William’s name is on the list. In 1656 William Tuttle bought of Joshua Atwater his original allotment, large house, barn and other lands. This land, siguated at the corner of Chapel and College Sts, later became the first lands of Yale College. Other records in New Haven attest to his continued involvement in civic affairs, including when he took the Constable’s oath in March 1666/7.

His children were not exactly known for being models of decorum. His daughter Elizabeth was fined for being with her husband before they were married when a child was born less than 9 months after the wedding. Her husband (Richard) later found out it wasn’t his child, and sued her for divorce. The town fathers didn’t grant it and he brought the petition again in 1691. By this time he needed the divorce to marry another woman, who had already been fined for laying with him. The divorce records say Elizabeth had committed adultery on several occasions and was no longer really right in the mind. The divorce was granted and there are no further records of Elizabeth. (On a somewhat ironic note, Elizabeth and Richard were the grandparents of puritan preacher Jonathan Edwards.)

Daughter Mercy, who married Samuel Brown, killed her 17-year-old son Samuel Jr. with an axe in the summer of 1691. Her husband at first claimed she seemed rational, but others testified to her “distracted” state. She was indicted for murder on October 1, 1691 and eventually sentenced to death. However, due to confusion resulting from the deposing of Edmund Andros as colonial governor, she escapted the death penalty.

William himself was apparently involved in an incident in 1660 where his daughter Sarah was prosecuted for “sinful dalliance” with Jacob Marlain. They were accused of sitting on a chest and kissing for half an hour, in front of witnesses. There was a law that basically allowed a father to charge a young man with stealing away his daughter’s affections. The two were found guilty and admonished sharply by the court. Sixteen years later, Sarah was killed by her brother Benjamin, who hit her on the head with an axe (there’s a nice gruesome description in Connecticut court records). Benjamin was tried and convicted of murder and was hanged June 13, 1677.[3]

The "Homestead" whcih William Tuttle purchased of Joshua Atwater was sold, in 1717, to the trustees of Yale College, who immediately began the erection of the first college building. Over 400 descendants of William Tuttle have graduated at Yale. (Reverand James Harvey Tuttle, D.D.: a memoir by Marion Daniel Shutter)

Notes for WILLIAM TUTTLE: William Tuttle came with the first settlers of New Haven in 1639. In 1656 he bought of Joshua Atwater his house, homelot and barn in the Yorkshire Quarter between land of Thomas Johnson and that of Mrs. Constable's. The Tuttle Homestead was the only land owned by Yale College for nearly 30 years. In the 243 years from the first purchase of it from the Indians, it was held by five proprietors, Joshua Atwater 16 years, Hester Coster 5 years, First Church of New Haven 26, Yale College 166 years. Mr. Tuttle and Mr. Gregson were the first owners of land in East Haven. Thomas Tuttle's lot adjoined his father's on the south. In seating the Meeting House the first seat near the pulpit was the seat of honor, this was given to William Tuttle. He had 12 children born and raised in the old Homestead. William settled in Charlestown, at the age of twenty-six years; he was prominent in New Haven as early as 1647. and held many important positions.

___________________________________

William was born on December 24, 1607 in Ringstead, Northamptonshire and was baptized there on December 26. William, his wife, Elizabeth Mathews, three children, and a brother John came to New England in the ship Planter in 1635. William's age was put at twenty-six years, his wife Elizabeth's at 23 years, John, their eldest child at 3 1/2 years, Ann, 2 1/2 years, and Thomas at three months.

They first settled in Boston, where his Elizabeth joined the church on July 24, 1636. They removed to New Haven in 1639, early enough for William to become one of the 16 original proprietors. He subscribed to the Fundamental Agreement of that plantation on June 4, his name being one of the sixteen to which the Secretary when he copied the document into the record book accorded the prefix of respect "Mister."

He resided in that part of the town now called North Haven, and was there in 1659, on land that belonged to the estate of Governor Eaton. He was a subscriber to the compact for the settlement of East Haven. In the list of planters and estates wrongly headed 1643 in the printed copy, but which must be placed about 1640, his family consisted of seven persons and his estate was rated at £450, well above the average size.

William was the equal, socially, of any of the colonists, yet though his name often appears in the records as busied in the small affairs of the town, on committees and "boards of arbitration," he was never elected to public office nor, apparently, ran or put himself forward for office. One interesting record notes that "Mr. Wm Tutle" was fined in 1646 for falling asleep at the watch-house.

There was a connection between the Tuttles and the family of Robert Hill, for after Hill died in 1663, there were negotiations for Hill's widow (a second wife) to give up her interest in her youngest Hill stepchild and for the Tuttles to raise him, "Mrs. Tuttle being next akinne." Perhaps Elizabeth Tuttle was aunt or a much older sister or Robert Hill or of Hill's first (unknown) wife, whose children were born between 1647 and 1659. On June 7, 1664, "Mr. Tuttle informed the Court, that his Cousin, Widdow Hill, had come to tearmes of agreemt." At the same court, Mr. Tuttle showed his humanity by making a plea in behalf of a young girl who had been found guilty of pilfering and other mischief. He said "that though her sin had been very great yet he did much pitty her & would doe her all the good he Could & he therefore desired the Court would shew her what favour they could & that she might be in such a place & family where she might enjoy the meanes of grace & be well educated for the good of her soule: The Court told her that shee sees how her unkle is affected towards her for her soules good" and proceeded to sentence "That shee be publikely & severely whipped to morrow after Lecture, that others may heare & feare & doe no more soe wickedly." How this girl, Azuba Lampson, was related to the Tuttles, is not known. She was the orphan daughter of Thomas Lampson, who died December 28, 1663, by his unknown first wife. Her mother may have been a sister of Elizabeth Tuttle. Perhaps William felt empathy because of what his own daughter, Sarah, experienced in the courts.

William died in June 1673 at the age of 64 years. His death was apparently unexpected because he was in court only two weeks before his death completing a land transaction, and because he left no will. His estate was valued at £440.

Elizabeth Tuttle died December 30 1684, aged 76 years. She had been living with her youngest son, Nathaniel, who, at a court held in New Haven, July 28 1685, presented her will, but the other children objected and the court would not allow it. The inventory, taken February 3, 1685 by Moses Mansfield and John Alling. Her tombstone was removed with the others in 1821 from the Old Green in the Grove street cemetery of New Haven, and it now stands in the row along the north wall of that enclosure. A part of the inscription is still plain: a part is obscure by the crumbling of the stone, and a part is entirely gone.

In her widowhood, Elizabeth faced several family crises which very few would have the courage to face or the strength to endure. Although many of William and Elizabeth Tuttle's descendants are famous for intellectual brilliance, some of their own children became noted for homicidal insanity.

"Three hundred and fifteen years ago the watchman on Beacon Hill above the little village that was Boston, saw on the far horizon what has been hoped for over many weeks. It was the ship Planter and as it landed amid the welcoming people, who were never far from starvation in those early days, there came ashore William TUTTLE and his wife, Elizabeth, first of the name to reach the shores of America. Of their children we know that a son Simon had a son who became known as Deacon Timothy and Timothy had among others, a son whom he named Gershom, and three following generations used the name.

"Husbandman of Ringstead, Northants" William Tottil

William TUTTLE115 <sources.htm>,116 <sources.htm>,584 <sources.htm> was born on 26 December 1607 in Ringstead Northampton England. He was christened on 29 October 1609. He was christened on 29 October 1609 in Of, Ringstead, Northampton, England. William was buried in June 1673 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut. He died on 16 June 1673 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut. Ancestral File Number:<AFN> 1LTR-Z1 Came to Boston in the 'Planter' in April 1635, at age 26 with his wife Elizabeth 23, and children John, Ann, and Thomas. He is by tradition said to have come from Co. Northampton. His wife joined the church 24 July 1636 and brought Jonathan and David to be babtized.Source says three families of this name came from the parish of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. He was granted liberty to build a windmill at Charlestown in 1636 and was a proprietor of that town. He was part owner of a ketch "Zebulon" of Ipswich. He and John own land deeded them by George Griggs for debt, and the same gave him a mortgage of house and land on Beacon St. in Boston after he moved to New Haven in 1650. They were among the first settlers at Stoney River, about the year 1645.

Much information has been written on the family of William and Elizabeth Tuttle and is accesible at most major libraries. Sarah (Tuttle) Slauson was murded by her brother Benjamnin, and Mercy (Tuttle) Brown murdered her year old son.

In April 1635 William Tuttle and wife Elizabeth and their first three children (John, Ann and Thomas); William Tuttle's older brother Richard, Richard's wife Ann (nee Taylor) and their three living children (Anna [i.e., Hannah (Tuttle)(Pantry) Welles], John and Rebecca); William and Richard Tuttle's widowed mother Isabel; and William and Richard's brother John, his wife Joan (nee Antrobus), their four living children, along with wife Joan's three children by her 1st husband Thomas Lawrence and Joan's widowed mother Joan (Arnold) Antrobus; all left England via the Port of London aboard the ship Planter, Nicholas Trarice master. They arrived at Boston, Mass. by July 1635. Richard Tuttle and his family settled at Boston, and John Tuttle and wife Joan settled at Ipswich, Mass.

By late 1639 William settled at New Haven, Conn. In the 1640s William was involved in the failed attempt by inhabitants of the New Haven Colony to establish a separate colony on the Delaware River at present-day Salem County, NJ. William's homestead on the Green at New Haven would eventually become part of Collegiate Square and location of the first building of Yale University.

William and wife Elizabeth are interred at New Haven's original Cemetery on the Green, William having no surviving gravestone. In 1821 all readable gravestones, but not the interred bodies, were relocated to New Haven's Grove Street Cemetery. (See 2017 flower by Nancy Lynn Blakeslee for further detail; also see New Haven Green). For perspective, this memorial for William is linked to New Haven's Grove Street Cemetery where the remaining portion of wife Elizabeth's gravestone can be seen.

A similar fate was experienced at the town commons cemetery "on the Green" at Guilford, Conn. In 1824 all readable gravestones, but not the interred bodies, were dispersed among other Guilford cemeteries.

Branches of the ancient English family, however, were established throughout the New England Colonies in the early part of the seventeenth century. None of these have attained the distinction and note of the Connecticut Tuttles. Scions of the house have wielded large power in the industrial and commercial growth of Connecticut, and have achieved notable places in the professions and in the divine calling. The early Tuttle family played a prominent part in the public life of the Connecticut Colony, and the name is found with great frequency in important places in early Colonial registers. The early Tuttles were leaders of men, and later generations have not relinquished the prestige of the early family. The Tuttles of today are an honored and notable race. is of most remote antiquity, and its origin has been traced to the god Thoth or Toth on the Lower Nile in Egypt, vestiges of whose worship some antiquarians believe to have existed in early England. This would naturally give rise to numerous places dedicated to the worship of the god. At all events, we find throughout England "Totehills," which at the date of authentic history were hills with a good lookout against the enemy's approach. The eminent authority, Charles Wareing Bardsley, in his "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." states the origin of the surname to have been in the ancient Totehill, and makes no mention of an earlier origin in the worship of Thoth. In support of this, he draws attention to the fact that we still use the verb "tout" or "toat" in the sense of spying about. name "Totehill" and we find instances of the name in the very early registers. The first appearance of the name in Colonial America is in the year 1635. Numerous immigrants left the mother country and were the founders of large families. On the good ship "Planter," in 1635, came John, Richard and William Tuttle, from the parish of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England, bringing with them their families. John Tuttle, who is recorded as a mercer, aged thirty-nine years, according to the passenger list of the "Planter," settled in Ipswich; he was in Ireland in 1654, and probably died there, for his wife went to Carrickfergus, and wrote on April 6, 1657, that he died on December 30, 1656. thering, New Haven, Conn., September 3d, 1873 / /c by Joseph F.

Greene explains that before William Tuttles baptismal record was found that shows him born in 1607, he was thought to have been born in about 1609. The date and place of death makes it clear that this is the same William Tuttle as William the son of Simon. d New Haven, 12/30/1684, aged 76 (gravestone).

Elizabeth may have been related to Robert Hill or to his first wife; they tried to get custody of the youngest stepchild from the second wife after her husband died, and she didn't particularly seem to want the child.

Possibly it was about their dead father's considerable property; he said "he was afraid whe would do to him what he had done to her", whatever that meant. Her children testified that he came into her house carrying an axe and repeatedly struck her head with it, saying something about "I will teach you to Scold" and something they couldn't understand. Before this time, Sarah was a flirt, repeatedly in trouble for making out. In 1660, William Tuttle Sarah's father complained against Sarah and Jacob Murline for kissing and making out on a storage chest. The law provided for a fine aganist anyone who drew the attentions of a maid or maid servant without the permission of her parents, master, or guardians. This was not often enforced; William Tuttle was one of the few who went to such lengths of thinking they owned their children! "Mr. Tuttle pleaded that Jacob had endeavored to steal away his daughter's affections." (SAm Behling) The governor reported that Sarah had flirted and made out with Jacob in his house at a wedding. The court fined either of them 20 shillings, characterized their behavior as sinful and evil and Sarah's as bold, ordered both of them to mend their ways, and ordered Jacob to stay away from virgins. It seems Sarah's mother had told her not to keep company with him. d a premarital affair with her husband, and also with another man, such that there was doubt about who was the father of her first child. There was a lawsuit, and Elizabeth and Richard were fined for sleeping together before marriage, and Richard was found to be the father. In any case, there was trouble concerning Elizabeth caring for the child, and her father ended up raising it. Elizabeth for some reason refused to sleep with her husband for years, resulting in an at first unsuccessful bid to divorce her. For one thing, he wanted to marry Mary Talcott, who had been fined for fornication with him. At his second effort, Richard argued that he was afraid of Elizabeth. "It became clear that Elizabeth herself was, at times, not in her right mind, and often threatened to murder her husband while he was asleep." Richard was granted the divorce, married Mary Talcott, and had six children.

He came into her house one evening, and, in front of her children sitting at the table, beat her on the head with an axe while saying something only partially intelligible about "I'll teach you to scold!" Brown She was accused at age 14 of stealing and drinking liquor. She chopped her 17-year-old (?) son, Samuel Jr, to death with an axe as he lay in his bed. Her husband said she had seemed rational, but the day before, she said she would have the children buried in the barn, because "dreadful times are coming". He said she had "slept but little for two or three nights before". Joseph Brown, age 24, testifed that she had thrown scalding water at him and he thought her "much out of her head". Mercy's sister Simon Tuttle and his wife thought she had seemed distracted "that morning and before". Mary Moss testified that "Mercy came to their house a little before the sad accident and wished Mr. Moss to look after her husband". Neighbors testified they had come to her house for fire and when she came out with it, she went down the hill towards the swamp seeming distracted. In jail, she seemed distracted, seemed much grieved at having given offense to someone who knew nothing of it. Those who took her to New Haven for trial testified that she seemed "shaken in her understanding". Though her attorney pleaded insanity, the jury found her guilty, and the judge sentenced her to die. It wasn't a popular verdict, the town felt she should be exonerated on the basis of insanity. But confusion resulting over the removal of the governor from his office allowed Mercy to escape execution. nd Thomas 3 months, boarded the Planter 6 Apr 1635 and arrived in Boston 7 Jun 1635.shire, England.
