Ms Smith, in reply to your e-mail below, I have been studying the Tuttles for some time now, as they are related to me through Katherine Tuttle, who married George Mix, leading to Mix Todd, the loyalist. (Descendant of Christopher Todd of New Haven). From the book "Tuttle Lines" etc., it was apparent that there were two overlapping lines of Tuttles, with similar names and birth dates close together. So far I have managed to trace the "Elizabeth" you mention below (my colateral line) to "Elizabeth Southcot (or Southcut{t}, as spelled in various sources). This can be seen by searching on the LDS site, where they mention marriage to the Tuttle line. I expect that what has happened is that various researchers have confused the two and somehow mixed the two lines, but I do not have any direct proof of same, just a hunch based on examining various records from the secondary (at best) and most likely even terciary sources that have been copied repeatedly until they become fact owing to the preponderance of parallel data bases. I would be interested in anyone following up on these leads, and await your thoughts /researches on the matter.
