    1. Darlin Tuttle Line
    2. Marjorie, thanks for making the connection I am Sybil Montgomery of the Darlin (1810) line. I am cutting and pasting my research on Daniel; s/o Darlin (1810); s/o Darlin (1780); s/o Isaiah (1746 of NJ), etc., etc,. etc. "MRS. ETHALINDA TUTTLE, a well known and highly respected lady, was born in Delaware County, Ind., March 27, 1831. Her parents, William and Tamer (Thornburg) Daugherty, were both natives of Clinton County, Ohio, but came to Indiana at an early day, locating in Delaware county, where Mr. Daugherty entered 160 acres of government land, from which he developed a home, and upon which he resided until his death at the advanced age of eighty-seven years, having been born in 1783. Both himself and wife were members of the Christian church, and were among the well known pioneers of this county. The marriage of Ethalinda Daugherty with Daniel Tuttle was solemnized June 24, 1851, from which date until the present she has been a resident of Mount Pleasant Township. Daniel Tuttle was born in Butler County, Ohio, but came to Delaware county in early manhood, where for a number of years he was alternately engaged in farming and working at his trade of carpentering. Late in life he abandoned agricultural pursuits, and purchased a number of lots in the village of Reed station to which place he removed and in which the residue of his years were passed. Mr. Tuttle's birth occurred December 14, 1831, and he was called away by death October 13, 1892, his remains being laid to rest in what is known as the Hawk Cemetery. He was a faithful member of the Methodist Protestant church, with which he had been identified for a number of years, and was not only a christian in name, but his daily walk was a practical exemplification of the genuineness of his religious profession. He earned the reputation of a devoted husband and kind father, and those who knew him best bear testimony to this true worth as a citizen and neighbor. The following are the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle: Rebecca, wife a A. Hayden; Mary E., deceased; Thomas, married Clara Conard; Lydia C., deceased; Marion, deceased; Silas Franklin; Monroe (deceased); Viola Florence, wife of Charles Mahoney; John William; and Sarah wife of C. Ensley. Mrs. Tuttle, like her husband, is a member of the Protestant Methodist church in which she is highly respected for her christian character." 1 Other researchers have noted the union of Ethelinda Daugherty and Daniel Tuttle.2 3 In the 1870 they had six living children: Rebecca, John W., Sarah J., Darlin T., Viola. F., and Silas.4 However, they had other children who did not reach maturity. A search of the Hawk Cemetery records indicates that some of these children were:5 10/26/1862 Lydia C. 1 year 2 days 8 months 4/23/1864 Mary Elizabeth 6 years 2 days and 8 months 6/7 /1867 Infant daughter 6/17/1867 2 Infant daughters 9/15/1867 Marion A. 3 years 7 months 19 days 9/17/1876 Silas Franklin 8 years 11 months 4 days (mentioned above in 1870 Census) Two other children have been mentioned in the literature but were not found in the Hawk Cemetery records. They are Wilhelm John b. 9/1852 and Monroe b. 1864. Both were born in Delaware County Indiana.6 Additional information on Sarah J who was noted in the 1870 Federal Census could not be located. Of the many offspring of Ethelinda and Daniel, it appears that only four survived to adulthood: Rebecca (Mrs. Amos Hayden), Darlin Thomas (mentioned as Thomas in the above Helm article), John W. and Viola Florence (Mrs. C. Ensley). Ethelinda and Daniel Tuttle's daughter, Rebecca is this researcher's great grandmother, Sybil Montgomery, Ph.D. of Penn Valley, PA ; e-mail sybildocmont@aol.com 1 Helm (1864).
