Hi Folks, First I want to say just how wonderful it is to have this virtual libaray open, What a gift. Thank You!! to all who made it possiable. I found one of my kin listed in one of the 1840's directories, and it shows his occupation as "FOUNDER" Does anyone know what a Founder did??, also are there other documents available through the virtual library than the directories? I know that my "Alexander Tuttle" died of Cholera when there was an out break in that area, I have an old letter dated 1842 that speaks of his death, He was married and had some children ,which I have no information on his wife or children. I did find on the Hamilton Page his death listed and I think his place of burial, I wanted to know if Death Certs are available or things like that, Alexander was there with his two brothers "Thomas C Tuttle" and "Oliver Tuttle", Thomas is listed in the 1842 Directory as Ships Carpenter living near the Shp Yards,He married "Elizabeth Francis Anderson" in 1836,Which is just after he and his brothers arrived there from "Penobscot Maine", I would love to find out how they got there and what Ship they were on, The three of them left "Penobscot Maine" in Feb of 1835 according to the same 1842 letter mentioned above, They all left home when Mom remarried to a man they did not like, after the death of their father "Josiah Tuttle". Any help would be greatly appreciated ,or advice. Thanks again to those who made this virtual library available to us out here on the web,What a gift!!
