Notes
a. Note:   father, Timothy Tuttle. He settled in Prospect, CT; married 20 Nov 1746 by Rev. Jeremiah Curtis of Southington, who omitted the name of the bride in his record.
  HISTORICAL:
 In 1909, E. Leroy Pond wrote a book titled, "The Tories of Chippenny Hill, Connecticut." In it were mention of variousTuttle men. In Chapter 4, The Tory Den, he told of a small cave in the woods that certain Tory men would take refuge in when the Sons of Liberty would come looking for them.
 It lay in the Ledges, backed by a tall cliff, facing southeast toward Chippenny Hill, which an agile climber could scale in less than a minute. There were ferns, briers, flowers and sweet smeling things growing over the entrance. It was of considerable length, but had not much height. Two lines of seven men could sit facing each other beneath the roofs of rock; three could stand upright where the rock was highest. The quickest way to escape would be for the two southernmost men to turn to the south and, stooping, walkout; and for the one northernmost man to turn to the north and crawl out.
 When the cave was in use, both entrances were so carefully hidden that it was never discovered, in spite of most careful search of the ledge above. It was thought there may have been another entrance partly underground, but nothingof the kind is now known. (1909)
 The den was discovered on Thanksgiving Day, 1838 by some teenage boys who accidently came upon the south and larger entrance.
 Mr. Pond writes: "I wonder how many of the Tuttle family saw the inside of the cave. There was SIMON TUTTLE, an old man,and DANIEL, his son. Daniel went over openly to the Tory forces, and his land and homestead were confiscated by the State of Connecticut and sold at public vendue."
 EBENEZER TUTTLE had a son born in January, 1775, who was given the name of Constant Loyal Tuttle."
