Some of the researchers have listed three sons for Gilbert and Clarissa, but online biographies do not agree with that. I have however, found a male who died young who I believe was their son. Here is the information that I have for the child of Clarissa & Gilbert. Clinton Ridge Cemetery, Vernon Co,Wi Burial #14 1875 April 4 Oscar Tuttle son of Gilbert. Age-years-no mother's name listed. Vernon County, Clinton Township, Post office Veroqua,Wi Census 1870 July. Oscar Tuttle 12 years old living with Cortes P. Taylor; dwelling 147 family147. Makes him 17 yrs old when he died,and born ca.1858 so it is possible he is the child of Carissa Love Tuttle (married 1855) He would not be the child of Gilbert and Lucy Hatch Quackenbush (Gilbert's #2 wife) as they weren't married until 1864, shortly after Clarissa's death. Gilbert owned plot # 33 in Clinton Ridge Cemetery, next to plot 40 owned by Albert Love, Clarissa's brother and near the plot Clinton, her father is burried in. I would like to know if there are any other children attributed to this couple, and I do not think that George, Fred, and Alfred were their sons, as many others do. Notice in this pension application below that he answered that he did not have any living children as of 1898, and the bios of these men show they were still living at that time. I know there were several Gilbert Tuttles. The one who married Clarissa later moved to Dakota territory from the information in his pension application. Also, on a census record in 1880, he was listed as divorced, so apparently he and Lucy Hatch Quackenbush did not stay together. (The Quackenbush family is also an affiliated family of the Love family.)
