• 3. Ensign John3 Tuttle, second son of Judge John and Mary Tuttle, married Judith, daughter of Richard and Rose (Stoughton) Otis, Rose and her brother, Sir Nicholas Stoughton. Bart., were the only children of Anthony Stoughton, Esq., of Stoughton in Surrey, England. — (N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., vol. v., pp. 179, 354.) Judith gave her third son the christian name of her uncle, Sir Nicholas. Stoughton has been a favorite christian name among her descendants in the Tuttle line, a commemoration of the connection of the two families. Ensign John Tuttle held several civil offices; he was ensign of the Dover military company. He is always referred to as "John Tuttle, Jr., or Ensign Tuttle" in the records. He lived on the west side of Back river, about one mile from his father's, on the farm which his grandfather, John1 Tuttle, owned in his lifetime, and which had descended to Judge2 Tuttle, who probably designed to give it to his son, ensign3 Tuttle, had he lived to receive it, but gave it to that one's two eldest sons.
• He and his wife are buried in the old burial ground near the river. He owned a large tract of land in the parish of Somersworth, and another at Tole End. Ensign Tuttle was cut off in the prime of life by the hand of the Indian enemy." On the 7th of May. while attending to some business at his mill on the upper falls of the Cochecho, accompanied by his eldest son, he was suddenly set upon by a party of marauding Indians, overpowered and slain. Thomas, his son, escaped. The Boston News Letter of May 12, 1712, has the following allusion to this attack of the Indians: "On Tuesday they (Indians) mortally wounded and scalped John Crommet of Dover; on Wednesday at Tole End Mill, about a mile from Col. Waldron's, Ensign Tuttle was killed." This melancholy tragedy recalls, in this connection, the fact that his wife Judith, at the time of the great massacre in Dover in 1689, when her father, brother and sister were slain, and her father's garrison burned by the Indians, was taken captive with her two sisters, all young girls, and carried away ; but the Indians being overtaken by a party of soldiers at Conway, on their way to Canada, Judith and her two young sisters were rescued from their captors and brought back to Dover. The untimely death of her husband left Judith a widow with six children, the eldest fourteen, and the youngest two years old. Their success in life indicates that she was a woman of ability and intelligence. Children :
  • i. Mary,4 b. 7 January, 1697; m. James Cannev.
  • ii. Thomas, b. 15 March, 1699-1700; d. February, 1777.
  • iii. Judith, b. 10 May, 1702.
  • iv. John, b. 8 May, 1704; d. February, 1774.
  • v. Dorothy, b. 21 March, 1706; d. young.
  • 4. vi. Nicholas, b. 29 July, 1708.
  • vii. James, b. 9 February, 1710-1 ; d. 9 July, 1790. ____________________________
