Facts and Events
[edit] Identifying the Wife of Deacon Samuel Todd"The name on the original record is obscure. My opinion from the first has been that it was Tuttle, but might easily be mistaken for Tolle. It is written Tutle, with but one small t, and that with so faint an indication of a cross that it might be taken for an l and the u is so imperfectly formed that it might be taken for an o. making the word Tolle. Hon. L. M. Bottwood [Boltwood?] examined it, and at first thought it was Tolle, but afterwards changed his mind and believed it to be Tutle. Rev. Dr. John E. Todd also examined the original record and thought it was Tolle, but at a later date he writes: "Since your letter I have re-examined the town record, and am pretty well satisfied that you are right in reading the name Tuttle, and not Tolle, with reference to Susanna, the wf. of Samuel Todd." Still I should not have felt satisfied to occupy the pages of this work with a record of Deacon Samuel Todd's descendants on so uncertain a foundation. Other circumstances, however, whose significance would be better understood by the genealogist than by the general reader, indicate very decidedly the verity of my conclusion, such as the propinquity of place, the numerous Todd-Tuttle inter-marriages. His bro. Jonah Todd m. Hannah Clark [1]; his bro. Daniel m. Desire Tuttle [1]; his s. Christopher m. Hannah Tuttle [4]; his dau. Susanna m. Caleb Humiston [1]. This will of Noah Pangborn [son of Susanna Tuttle's sister Joanna (Tuttle) Pangborn] devises land to the Rev. Samuel Todd, who would be his first cous. on this theory, and makes Rev. Benjamin Doolittle (whose wf. Lydia would be his first cus.) an execr. of his will, etc."[6] [edit] Other ResourcesLiz Ault (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lizault) has documented her parents up several generations.
