Judy, I think that probably without doubt the Benjamin Tutt in the 1840 Searcy Co. AR Census is the one you are asking about. Shows that they have 5 girls and one boy at that time, the boy is under 5, guess that would be Jame H. Tutt. James H. Tutt shows up in the 1870/80 and 1900 Census with wife and two children. I don't know where Benjamin might be for 1850/60, have not done a lot of looking on that. I have always wondered if that is him listed in the 1870 Census as Richard B. Tutt 68 NC, and wife Emaline 43 NC, living with Thadson Campell and wife Susan M. residence.

Don Thanks for the census info. I am trying to determine if it was one of Benjamin's daughters who married Greenberry Adams. I know most everyone including the Marion County book states he married Dulcenia Tutt, daughter of Nancy and Hansford Tutt. This is not possible since in the 1860 census that Dulcenia Tutt was living with her mother Nancy in Marion County AR. Dulcenia, wife of Greenberry is listed in the 1860 Searcy County census along with Greenberry. They cannot possibly be the same person. The death certificate of Dulcenia and Greenberry's son Green lists his mother's maiden name as "Tutt". The name is not common. In fact in 1850 census there are only a couple of Tutt families outside AR.Benjamin seems the best bet for Dulcenia's father.Is it possible Benjamin changed his name because of the Tutt-Everret war in Marion County? I cannot find him anywhere in AR in 1850 or 1860.
