The 1820 and 1830 NY census shows Joel Tuttle in Sullivan twp, Madison Co, NY. Revolutionary War Pension File #S42555. Joel enlisted in the Connecticut Line at Canaan, Litchfield Co, and an affidavit says he grew up in the Cornwall area of Litchfield Co. Joel's mother Hannah was widowed when Joel was only two and she married Stephen Andrews of New Haven Co, so he probably grew up in the Andrews household. However, the Andrews family remained in New Haven Co, CT. Although Joel lived in Madison Co, he was visiting in Greene Co when he "died of the effects of a violent cold."
