    3. I haven't read my mail in the past two days - been too busy. I had to go downtown today, so I stopped in at the library and looked at my Tuttle sources. I found much to update on my page, including I fixed several variously serious and funny errors. I have among other things important new information on who Hannah the daughter of emigrant Richard Tuttle and Anne the daughter of William married, and all known information on the place of emigrant John Tuttle (the guy who came to Boston, settled in Ipswich and then died in Ireland) in the family, which is controversial and I find insufficient information to decide. I also put on my page a complete list of all my sources, including Jacobus' article, and the TAG articles, with a short description of what is in each article if the title isn't sufficiently descriptive. I also added Tuttle links earlier today. It isn't complete, missing mostly a number of aol and FTM sites taht I couldn't get my server to open yesterday. The sites I found are good. But it does contain all the pages I consulted for information. I also found over the past couple of days a number of questions, marked in bold print on my page, that I am wondering what light anyone can shed on. Probably the most important - where does the idea that the name of Elizabeth the wife of William was Mathews come from? Alot of people sure share it, but it looks to me as if it likely comes from confusion with that family in Devonshire, since an early 16th century William Tuttle who was a sheriff and lord mayor there, married Elizabeth Mathews, who was of Welsh ancestry. I also found quite a number of theories about who William's ancestors married on these pages. None of them came from Jacobus or Greene, who besides good old George Frederick Tuttle are my principal sources. (Jacobus cited mostly a set of papers compiled and sent to and approved by the College of Arms, and Dawes-Gates genealogy vol. 1, no primary sources. Greene, on the other hand, did some research and cites all of his documentation.) Yours, Dora Smith cl001@freenet.buffalo.edu tiggernut@dcemail.com
