North Jersey History & Genealogy Center of the Morristown and Morris Township Library, Tuttle-Hoff Papers, 1761-1942:

He married Jane Ford [1736-1774], the daughter of Jacob Ford Sr. [1702-1777] and Hannah Baldwin in 1756. They had issue: Jane Ford [1766-1831] who married Joseph DeCamp [1753-1800] in 1790; Mary [1757-1840] who married Cornelius Hoagland; Hannah [1759-1849] who married Charles Hoff Jr. [1756-1811] in 1778; and two sons, Simeon [b. 1764] and Moses [b. 1769], who did not survive infancy. Moses and Jane Tuttle removed to Mt. Pleasant after their marriage. He managed the Mt. Pleasant mine and forge (built in 1750 by Jacob Ford, Sr.) property for his father-in-law. Mt. Pleasant is located in present-day Rockaway Township (formed in 1844 from parts of Hanover and Pequannock Townships), three miles west of Rockaway on the east branch of the Rockaway River. Moses Tuttle also ran a Publick Inn there and had a gristmill. Eventually, he had interests in his own mine. After the New Jersey Assembly inflated paper money issued by the Continental Congress, Moses Tuttle became insolvent and went to Kentucky for two years (circa 1780-1781) before returning to Mt. Pleasant. He headed the Mt. Pleasant Mining Company, but by 1789 it was controlled by his sons-in-law, Charles Hoff Jr., Cornelius Hoagland, and Joseph DeCamp.
