1. John Tuttle.

b. in England, 1596.

d. at Carrickfergus, Ireland, 1656.

John Tuttle appears to have been a man of means, for, with his brother, they chartered the Ship Planter, and with their families and servants sailed for America, April 2, 1635. On arriving in Massachusetts, they settled in Ipswich. He went to Ireland and died there in 1656. He married the widow Joanna Lawrence (who had three sons by first husband) and had six children, of whom the fifth was Mary.

In the Tuttle genealogy will be found not only full lists of descendants of John Tuttle, but also his English ancestry back on the paternal line through Richard Tuttle, of London, to William Tuttle, High Sheriff of Devon in 1549, and Lord Mayor of Exeter in 1552, and, on the maternal side, through his mother Joan Grafton to Richard Grafton, Esq.

2. Mary Tuttle.

b. in Ipswich, 1G35.

m. Thomas Burnham, of Ipswich.

Came to America in 1635, with his brother John, both being young men, and in charge of their maternal uncle, Capt. Andrews, of the ship Angel Gabriel, in which they sailed from Bristol, England, May 23, 1635.

Their parents, Robert Burnham m. Mary Andrews, remained in England. Lived at Norwich, and died there.
