Mainly, the Tuttle women did these crimes, so we are hoping the tendency does not show up in the males of the line. My daughter-in-law is a genetic counsellor, so I will have to ask her about the passage of genes that make people take axes to others. I wonder if any of my sons have axes? Merry Christmas.

There have been several books published about that time period to which you refer, including the "Sinister Sisters" and the "Terrible Tuttles" that pretty well document the sad events of yesteryear. This line later spent time in Nova Scotia as a result of Stephen Tuttle's Loyalist commitment. Of course, my line made its way back to Boston, MA area, which is where I am now. The Tuthills from Long Island, NY came from Hingham, MA and that is the line of a brother of my ancestor. They landed in North America I assume at different times and I assume on different boats. Most of the other Tuttles lines used the more conventional spelling that is now my last name. However, I collect all Tuttle/Tuthill family data. Yet another Tuttle brother landed off the coast of ME when their craft sank during a historical worst hurricane. Miraculously, almost every passenger was saved although all of their possessions went to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. These Tuttles moved on to NH and some still remain there today. I would appreciate any information that adds to my accumulation. Happy Holidays! Regards, Bill.

I have New Haven Tuttles in my database. I have the axe murdering family that I thought were related to me but that whole branch had to be chopped off. There went a great genealogy family story. I have Tuttles who may have been Tuthills at one time. They are from Long Island, NY then later Orange Co, NY. Keturah Tuttle b.1755 married a gr...uncle Thomas Lamoreaux in Orange Co, NY then they moved after the Revolution to Plymouth, PA. Valerie Merry Christmas to all

Bill: I descend from 20+ New Haven families, not including the Tuttles, but there is intermarriage with them on most lines. See, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/jabez.html for my New Haven ancestry. (Please note that #s 35 and 36 can be taken back several more generations to Wrawby Parish, co. Lincoln, Eng.) Y DNA surname studies look at a certain area of the Y chromosome that is passed down from father to son with no or little variation. When males have a similar DNA signature and share the same last name, we can infer a relationship and descent from a common ancestor some time in the past. What we can't do is determine the exact relationship, such as father and son, or uncle and nephew, from the DNA alone. In the absence of other documentation, the DNA either indicates a genetic relationship, or it denies a genetic relationship. When used with other documentation, it can confirm or deny suspected relationships. It can help you to focus your research on those lines of a family that you are genetically related to, instead of looking at all lines hoping to find something that connects you. The more people of a certain surname who test, the greater is the likelihood that a new person joining the study will find a matching line to research. At this time we are just starting to build the databases of results that will really pay off in about 5 to 10 years. Usually you can search at http://www.worldfamilies.net/ to find surname DNA studies. I found the following links for a Toole and O'Toole etc., study: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=C81712&special=True&pro jecttype=S and http://www.sanfordtoole.atfreeweb.com/dna_project.htm While Tuttle is not listed there, I expect the coordinator of the study, [email protected] would be happy to have Tuttles join the study. As part of a study you get a special reduced price. To see another example of a DNA study, there is the Parkins and Perkins Y DNA study at this address: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/PerkinsDNA.html I run 8 studies and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Best Wishes for the Holidays! Steven C. Perkins > Hi Steven: I am open minded about this issue and would like to hear more about your proposal. I might very well be willing to participate. My original Tuttle that landed at Rumney Marsh, MA came from England. However, after a short period of time, he wrote that he was "returning to Carrifergus, Ireland". He did go there and he died there. The significance of the word "returning" is uncertain to me, but may be quite significant. There are Tuttles in Ireland to this very day. My Tuttle line moved on to New Haven, CT and then to NY before ending up in Nova Scotia as Loyalists. I would be pleased to hear back from you about the DNA testing. Happy Holidays!

I will definitely get back to you, if I find any of your "L" names. The early Tuttles landed at Rumney Marsh next to Boston, MA in the early 1630s, but they went up north to Essex County and parts of Middlesex County in MA. Andover is in northern Middlesex County, which is in that general area. They then moved on to New Haven, CT. Co-founders would be a fair description I gather as several families moved there all at the same time. You might want to subscribe to the NOVA SCOTIA list, which has been very helpful to me in my research, especially if any of your folks became Loyalists. The listers up north from my experience seem to be more helpful than any other list and they should be commended for their friendliness, cooperation and generosity. Merry Christmas. Regards, Bill.

Hi listers; I have two stonewalls in CT: Stephen REYNOLDS born October 29, 1789, and Erastus ROLLINS, born in about 1813. Stephen appears in NY in 1811, marrying a Mary (MILES?). Erastus Appears in Ohio sometime before 1840. Stephen may have been in New Hampshire in about 1793 before NY, then on to Wisconsin in 1844. Erastus had two sons in Ohio before moving to Whitley county Indiana. Does antone have anything on one or both of these two?

I suspect they came early to America. They are intermarried with my Lovejoys which I can't seem to connect to the original line. John Lovejoy came to Andover, Mass quite early in the 1600's . Lots of Lovejoys and they seem to be all connected. Do you have any Lovejoys or Lyons? Patsy

It would be interesting to compare Y DNA results for Tuttles, O'Tooles, and Tuthills. The O'Tooles and Tuttles are supposedly the same family and Celtic. The Tuthills are said to be Anglo-Saxon.
