About John Tothill, 1531

  • The descendants of William and Elizabeth Tuttle, who came from old to New England in 1635, and settled in New Haven in 1639, with numerous biographical notes and sketches : also, some account of the descendants of John Tuttle, of Ipswich; and Henry Tuthill, of Hingham, Mass. (1883)

  • The first of this branch known to us is William Totyl. His name stands at the head of a pedigree taken from Meyrick's Heraldic Visitiations of Wales, Vol. 1, p. 183, dated Oct. 24, 1591, and received from Rychard Tottyll, whose arms, as described, are the same as in the frontispiece, excepting that the lion is rampant instead of passant, and is differenced with a mullet, denoting that he was the third son.
  • His arms impaled with the arms of Grafton. From the the above visitation from Polwheles Devon, and from sundry England Co. Histories and other works we have gleaned the following accounts of this branch, which, though but a fragment, is sufficient to show the standing, character and associations of the family at the time of, and a hundred years antecedent to the settlement of New England. A copy of the pedigree in Tuckett's Devon, has been kindly forwarded to us by Ainsworth Spofford, Esq., Librarian of Congress. ............
  • That he was eminent for family in another sense than that intended by Fuller appears in the fact that he had 36 children, though probably not all by one wife, In the pedigree his wife is called "Elizabeth Mathew of Vorganwg." and she was doubtless the mother of Geoffrey, 'JOHN', Robert and Richard, and perhaps of several more. She was daughter of Geoffrey Mathew of Glamorganshire, which some Welsh genealogist have traced back to Gwaethwed, Prince of Cardigan and Gwent, while others deduce it from Yorkelyne. .......
