Notes for *William TUTTLE
104Came in ship called the "Planter" in 1635. He arrived with his wife, Eliz. and children, John aged 3 1/2; Anne aged 2 1/4 and Thomas aged 3 mos.
His estate was administered June 1673.
105[pg.12] In 1640, lots were laid out on the East side the river. The proportion for the second division was 20 acres of upland for 1001. estate, and 2® acres for every poll in the family. And on 4th Nov. 1642, the town voted "that those who have their farms at the river called Stoney-River, shall have liberty to make a sluice in the river for their own convenience." Fifty acres of meadow on the east side, was granted to Rev. Mr. Samuel Eaton, 29th Aug. 1640. "Benjamin Linge and William Tuttle are allowed to have their meadow when Mr. Eaton hath his first 50 acres, viz. in the fresh Meadow towards Totokett, and Mr. Crayne is to have his also there."--Jasper Crayne had his lot and house on the east side of the green; William Tuttle on the south side of the fresh meadows. I cannot ascertain the spot where Benjamin Linge built. These were men of wealth, and much employed in public affairs. ... William Tuttle had five sons, all of whom sold their patrimony and removed, except Joseph; some of whose descendants still remain in the town.
102He was part owner of a two-masted fore-and-aft rigged sailing vessel named "Zebulon" ,of Ipswich. ... William and his brother, John owned land deeded them by George Griggs for debt, and the same George Griggs gave him a mortgage of house and land on Beacon street, Boston, October 8, 1650, after Tuttle had moved to New Haven. ... In 1641 he held the deed to the home lot in New Haven, CT.on the square bounded by Grove, State, Elm and Church streets which was previously owned by Edward Hopkins. ... In 1656 William Tuttle bought of Joshua Atwater his original allotment, mansion house and barn, with other lands. He made his home there until his death, and his widow after him until her death, a period of twenty-eight years. At the time of his death it was appraised at one hundred and twenty pounds. ... He filled many positions of trust and responsibility in the colony; was commissioner to decide on an equivalent to those who received inferior meadow lands in the first allotment; was fence viewer, 1644; road commissioner, 1646; commissioner to settle the dispute as to boundary between New Haven and Branford, 1669, and to fix the bounds of New Haven, Milford, Branford and Wallingford, 1672. He was often a juror and arbitrator; was constable, 1666."
