Thomas C Tuttle, Married, Emily Underwood 2. Cordelia Tuttle 3. William Henry Harrison Tuttle 4. Martha Ann Tuttle 5. Oliver Tuttle. 6. Winfield Tuttle 7 Mary Elizabeth Tuttle, Married, Samuel P Davis 8. India Tuttle. Thomas Conant Tuttle was said to be a Major in a Local Organized Volunteer group of men "The Home Guard" , they were called to duty in the Morgan Raid but never saw any action they were called back home, Somewhere are the details of this excursion of Maj Thomas Conant Tuttle and the Home Guard being called out, Also there is a little info on "The Knights of the Round Circle" , which were a group of men who banded together under the south's Army, In a sketch on Thomas Conant Tuttle it says that they had trouble with this group, but from what I saw it was never proven. Thomas C Tuttle son of Thomas and Elizabeth was enlisted in the Union Under The 15th Indiana Light Artillery Battery, This was my GGreat Grandfather, I do have a picture of Thomas Conant Tuttle and one of William Henry Harrison Tuttle also one of The Tuttle brothers, one of which is the father of Alva Tuttle who wrote the Famous Tuttle Book "Tuttle Tuthill Line's In America" I was also given, by a Cousin Tim Tu! ttle Sports Writer, A Compilation of Letters written To Thomas Conant and his brothers from his Mother "Hannah Jane Elder" These letters date back to abt 1844, But I am looking for the info on The Home Guard in which Thomas Conant Tuttle was Major of. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from a few people. Gerald Keith Tuttle Jr
