Southold Town Records \ Copied and Explanatory Notes added by J. Wickham Case. Printed by order of the Towns of Southold and Riverhead. 1884. Volume II, Page 139 - 140.

[Note.(added by J. Wickham Case)--John Tuthill, Jun. By the record here made it is shown clearly that his homestead at the Oysterponds was upon the south side of the road, near where Seth Tuthill now lives. Mr. Griffin, in his journal, says that about 1796 his old house was taken down and a new one built, and that "Wm. S. Hobart now owns the place." Hobart's house is on the north side of the road nearly opposite Seth Tuthill's. Of one thing we may be sure, viz., that the home of Chalker John Tuthill was at that point or placeon the highway either on the north or the south side. He was noted for his shrewdness and general business talents, intelligent and celebrated for his skill in figures and arithmetical calculations. He carried a piece of chalk to work with, and was hence called "Chalker John." In 1693, and for several years after, he was a member of the Colonial Assembly, Justice of the peace for a long term of years, and held many town offices. It was through his agency chiefly that the open way from the Main Road to the Harbor was bought and opened in 1691. He was a large landholder. His family history is bare of all particulars of interest. He married, in 1685, Mehetable, daughter of 1st William Wells. Mr Griffin names only two of his children, John and Dorothy. "Hollow John" is always spoken of his son. He died in Nov., 1754, aged 96 years.--J. W. C.
