John, The following is quoted from "Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire", 1908, vol. II, page 484: "Ensign John Tuttle, 2nd son and 3rd child of Judge John and Mary Tuttle, was b. probably about 1676, held several civil offices, was ensign of the Dover military company, and is always referred to as 'John Tuttle, Jr.' or 'Ensign Tuttle' in the records. He lived on the west side of Black River, on the farm which his grandfather, John Tuttle owned in his lifetime. He also owned a large tract of land in the parish of Somersworth, and another at Tale End. On May 7, 1712, while attending to some business at his mill, on the upper falls of the Cocheco, accompanied by his eldest son, he was suddenly set upon by a party of marauding Indians, overpowered and slain. Thomas, his son, escaped. He married Judith, daughter of Richard and Rose (Stoughton) Otis, a woman of ability and intelligence, niece of Sir Nicholas Stoughton, baronet, and granddaughter of Anthony Stoughton, Esq., of Stoughton, in Surrey, England. Judith, at the time of the 'great massacre in Dover' in 1689, when her father and mother, brother and sister were slain, and her father's garrison burned by the Indians, was taken captive, with her two sisters, all young girls, and carried away; but the Indians were overtaken by a party of soldiers at Conway, on the way to Canada, and Judith and her two young sisters were rescued from their captors and brought back to Dover. Judith Tuttle was left a widow with six children, the eldest fourteen, and the youngest two years old. They were: Mary, Thomas, Judith, John, Dorothy, Nicholas, and James." This book goes on with information on their son, John and some of his children; also a picture of his descendant Hiram A. Tuttle. Also a write-up of Judge John Tuttle and his father John Tuttle, and a separate piece on the three Tuttle families that arrived on the Planter, focusing on the family of John Tuttle, with a picture of James M. Tuttle. If you or anyone else on the list has an interest I will try to transcribe those articles as well, as I can get to them. best regards, Tom Stevenson -- http://www.GenealogySource.com http://www.StevensonFamily.com http://www.DruryFamily.com http://www.GideonFamily.com Researching AUBUCHON*CARON*DRURY*GIDEON*GIDLEY* HAYDEN*HEMPHILL*LOGAN*LYONS*McCAULEY*McKINNEY* POLLOCK*REID*SANDS*STEVENSON*TELFORD*TUTTLE*WOODS John Kantzer wrote: > Looking for information on Ensign John TUTTLE, son of John and Mary TUTTLE, > bn 1671 Dover NH died 7 May 1712 Dover NH. > > ==== TUTTLE Mailing List ==== > You may contact the listowner at <Bob_Mullen@msn.com> > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.
