 Includes NotesNotes for William Tuttle:
William Tuttle had sailed to America in 1635 on the Ship Planter with his mother, Isabel Wells, and
two brothers. His wife and two of his children also were with him.

He settled New Haven, Conn. being a founder. He and his wife Elizabeth are honored to this day
in New Haven, Conn. They had a large family, and some notorious things happened in this family.
One story is of a son, Benjamin, killed his sister Sarah with an ax. Also a daughter Mercy was deranged
and killed her son with an ax. Benjamin was hanged for his crime, but the townspeople felt
sorry for Mercy and she was considered insane.

From this family came some notable events. One daughter Elizabeth married Richard Edwards, and
their marriage is deemed to be "THE MARRIAGE THAT SHAPED AMERICA". By 1900, this marriage
in 1667 had already resulted in 100 clergymen, 100 lawyers, 295 college graduates, 60 preeminent
authors, 75 military officers, 30 judges, senators, governors, and a President of the United States.

Our line comes from Williams first born son, John.
