  • 2. John' Tuttlr was a man of distinction in civil and military life. He filled successively every public office witliin tlie gift of the citizens of Dover, and was, by appointment in 1695, Judge of Their Majesties' Court of Common Pleas, under the administration of Lt. Gov. Usher. He was Selectman of Dover in 1686-87-88; Town Clerk from 1694 to 1717; Town Treasurer in 1705 and other years following; member of the Provincial Assembly in 1698-99, 1705-6-7. He was one of the six commissioneis sent from Dover to the convention of 1689 to "meet with the commissioners of ye other towns of ye province, to confer about and resolve upon a method of government within this province." — (Dover Records.)
  • The convention met at Portsmouth, and resolved to put the province, as it had been before, under Massachusetts, and it was done accordingly. In 1705, Col. Richard Waldron and Judge Tuttle were the "two principal men " of Dover, chosen " to joyn with the repi'esentatives of said province, and them invested with full power to hear, del)ate, and determine matters relating to Mr. Allen's claim." — (Dover Records.) Besides acting in the public capacities named, he appeais to have been, during all this time, chairman of the board of public surveyors of land. He was one of the leading members of the church at Dover, While a member of the General Assembly in 1698, he and other members subscribed a declaration, declaring " that in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the Elements of Consecration thereof by any person, whatsoever, and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any otlier saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they ai-e now used in tl>e church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous." The town records show a large number of special public trusts confided to him by his fellow citizens. In a military capacity, Judge Tuttle appears to have "done the state some service." Dover had one military company. Its officers were appointed by the Governor and Council, and were selected for their fitness, especially at this period when a bloody war was raging between the whites and the Indians. In 1689, he was lieutenant John Tuttle of this company; he had prol)ably been ensign some time before. In 1692, he was captain of this company, and remained so for about ten years. He was ever afterwards called " Capt. John Tuttle" in the public records. While captain, he had charge of all the military defences of Dover, and was often engaged with his company, or with soldiers sent him, in scouting and hunting after the Indian enemy. The Council and Assembly records of these years show, to some extent, what his arduous military duties were while chief military officer of Dover. Judge Tuttle died in June, 1720, leaving a large estate, which he dis- posed of by will among his children and grandchildren. His wife Mary survived him, and was executrix of his will. Her family name is not known. Lieutenant Tristram Heard and captain Francis Mathews were named in the will as trustees of iiis grandchildren. Children :
