Dea. Timothy Tuttle. Born ca 1682.1 Timothy died on 15 Apr 1756 in Wallingford, CT.20 Buried in Old Graveyard, Cheshire.
Timothy Tuttle, born 1682, probably in New Haven, removed with his father's family when about 3 years of age to Wallingford, CT. In early life he explored the country to the westward of Wallingford, & selected land for a farm, which he cleared with his own hands, and on it prepared a home for his family, working through the week as it was too far to go home every night and returning only on Saturdays, guided by a line of blazed trees he had marked through the woods. The spot is about a mile east of the central part of the village of Cheshire. In 1715, it is referred to in the division of Wallingford, into school districts, the west division to extend "as far as west of the river, as high as Timothy Tuttle and Timothy Beaches". Her he afterwards erected the first frame house in the town of Cheshire according to the family tradition, but Joseph P. Beach has doubts about this house being the first, and accords that honor to the Hitchcock house in another part of the town. "The Tuttle house may have been the second>" It was a good specimen of the CT farm house in the olden time; under its roof were born children, grandchildren, great gr children and great great grandchildren of the builder. It was standing until a few years since, when it was burned by an incendiary, being at the time unoccupied.
In 1723 the West Wallingford district was made a society and at the first meeting (Sept 15, 1723) Timothy Tuttle was voted Moderator for the year ensuing. His name is the first name on the records of the town. Sept 1, 1724 the same committee to "dignify the meeting house" same year he was one of the committee of three to manage school affairs. The same year Timothy Tuttle appointed Col of the four penny rate. The first deacons of the Cheshire Congregational Church were Stephen Hotchkiss & Jospeh Ives. On the resignation of Dea Hotchkiss, Timothy Tuttle was chose, and on the resignation of Dea Tuttle, Stephen Hotchkiss Jr, son of the first Deacon was chosen in place of Deacon Tuttle. Ephraim Tuttle, son of the latter, married for first wife, Esther Hotchkiss, daughter of the first Deacon, Stephen.
Timothy Tuttle died in Cheshire April 15, 1756 at age 74. His grave-stone once standing in the old grave-yard there, and on which faint traces of inscription are still visible, has been utilized in the construction of an adjacent stone fence. His life began two years before the death of the ancestress of the race recorded in this work, and he doubtless sat on her knee and heard her voice. It ended only nine years before the birth, int he house which he built, of her grt. grt. grt. grandson, Uri Tuttle (the father of the compiler), thus covering a period that embraces in part the contemporary history of five generations.
His will, dated Dec 1758, "being in the 71st year of my age", names eldest son Ephraim execr., "wife Sarah to have all the estate she brought me at time of my marriage, sons Moses, Gershom, Timothy, Simon; daughters Mary, wife of Miles Hull, Abigail, wife of John Gaylord, Mehitable, wife of Andrew Clark, and children of Rachel, who was the wife of Nathan Tyler.
