Note: Tuttle of Lake County Ohio June 8, 1878:
I was born in the town of Bridgewater, in the County of Oneida, State of New York, on the 10th day of May, 1796. I was the oldest of my father's nine children, the others of whom were named respectively in the order of their births as follows: Hannah (who died in Dec., 1811); Eunice, Lydia, Electa, James John, Harriet, and a second Hannah (named after her deceased sister). My father was also named Joseph, and was by trade a wheelwright, as the time of my birth in fairly prosperous circumstances. My father was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, on the 31st day of August, 1756.
When my father was three years old, my grandfather removed from Lebanon, Conn. to Sunderland, Mass., where he afterward died. He was lifting a stick of timber with another man who threw down his end, and jarred grandfather and broke a blood vessel. My grandfather's name was John, and he was also a mechanic, having the trades of wheelwright, carpenter and stone mason. My grandmother's maiden name was Allen. My grandfather had seven children, three sons and four daughters, who were named respectively, Lucy, James, Lydia, Joseph, Eunice, Ruth and John. My father's sister Lucy was married, but to whom I do not now remember. Lydia married a son Barrows. Eunice married a man named Chapman and Ruth married Nahun Rice. This Nahun Rice was a revolutionary soldier and served during the whole war. He used to relate that he was in one battle in which he was brought to the bayonet point three times in one day and that it was so dry and hot that he could raise no more moisture in his mouth than there is in an oven. The sons also married. Uncle James married and buried one wife, and then remarried and raised children. He lived and died in Lee, Berkshire County, Mass. John (who was in the Revolution when 16 years old) married the sister of Nahun Rice; her name was Abie. By her he raised several children, all of whom died in infancy or childhood, except one son, also named John, who afterwards removed to Ohio with his father and died in a well when he was about 19, in Palmyra, Portage County, Ohio in 1815. After the death of his first wife, John married Sally Broad, of Sunderland, Mass., by whom he raised children as follows: James, Sally, Joseph, LaFayette, Betsey, Nelson and Hector (who died in Mass.)
