BIOGRAPHY:
The History of the Western Reserve Volume 3, page 1501, has as a part of a bio on Lucius W. Peck says that:
"The Tuttles were a fine old Connecticut family which was estblished in the Western Reserve as early as 1809. Charlotte I. Tuttle was the daughter of Ira and Charry (Mills) Tuttle, and her grandfathers are the only Revolutionary soldiers who now lie buried in Austinburg township, and the record of the Tuttle family is altogether so interesting that further details are given herafter. Mrs. Peck attended Grand River Institutle in Austinburg township for six and a half years and in early life was a student of law. She was a teacher in the district schools for several years before her marriage and for twenty years taught music. For more than half a century she had also been a contributor to the local papers, especially to the Jefferson Sentinel. As has been noted, her family history should fix a place for her in the daughters of the Revolution. She attended the Centennial in Cleveland, being a delegate to the Convention of Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve. Despite the many duties of a social, literary, and charitable nature which devolve upon her, she actively superintends the old family farm which was cleared by her father 100 years ago in May, 1809.
Ira Tuttle, the father mentioned, was born in Torringford. Connecticut, 2 April 1788, and in 1809, when twenty-one years of age, came to the Western Reserve on foot, leading a cow and driving a pair of oxen. The former proved of especial value when the young man reached his destination, as for several weeks before he returned to Connecticut, he lived almost entirely on berries and milk. Having determined the site of a homestead in the new country, he returned to Connecticut on foot, and in 1810 brought his parents to the Reserve, the journey being made in a huge covered wagon drawn by six yoke of oxen. The homestead was first established near Mill Creek, on the land which he got from the Connecticut Land Company, and he lived there always. It was 600 acres in Austinburg township, Ashtabula county: at that time the locality was known as Richfield, and six Indian camps were found to be located on the future homestead of the Tuttle family. The parents of the young pioneer who thus established the family in the middle west were Major Clement and Abigail (Dutton) Tuttle, the military title being well earned by brave service in the Revolutionary War. While the Tuttles were clearing and improving their homestead in the wilds of northern Ohio, they were equally faithful to their religious obligations, the parents being such regular attendants of the church in Austinburg township that they missed but one Sunday's service in more than thirty years. On the 23rd of April 1808, Ira Tuttle married Miss Charry MIlls, born 19 January 1788, whose father as stated was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ira Tuttle were, as follows:
1. Harriet N. born 30 Novvember 1814 who became the wife of Henry Paine, of Painesville
2. Bradford, who was born 7 July 1810
3. Eben M. born 22 September 1812
4. George born 24 March 1817
5. Harmon, born 25 March 1821 and died 1 March 1889
6. Charlotte I., Mrs. Lucius W. Peck, who was born 3 March 1830
