Hi William Thank you for the response. My grandmother Emma Esther Tuttle, b 08 Oct. 1881, Steptoe Butte, Washington Territory. Her Father was George Tuttle b. 09 Feb. 1845, Prescott, Ont, Canada. George was the second child of Jeremiah Tuttle and Sarah Esther Monk. Jeremiah fathers name was also Jeremiah Tuttle b. 16 Jan 1778, Goshen NY, his wife name was Clarissa Powell b. 15 Nov. 1779. My Grandmother father George Tuttle married Christine K. Hoffenstter b. 04 Jan 1855, Little Rock AR. George and Christine were married on 04 Jan 1876 (Christine Birthday) in Petaluma CA. George and Christine had seven children, both died within a year of each other in 1896. My grandmother (age 16) was charged with escorting the younger children from Oakesdale, WA to Petaluma CA. The trip in 1896, I often wonder how it was made, I know how it shaped her life, courage, resiliency, charity, heartbreak and love. The children were sent to relatives in the Petaluma area. I have been unable to obtain information on the distribution of the children. I did met the two older brothers Ed and Frank Tuttle as a child of seven. Wonderful warm men who had basked in life and their enjoyment of it filled my eyes. The memory of sitting on the porch with them as if yesterday I will not forget. It has taken me sixty years to realize that the stock whence we came from was stout. Again thank you for your email. I do have more information if you need any more on the early family Tuttle history.
