Hav., his gt. g. s., and by him presented to the N. Hav. Hist. Soc. He was comd. by Gov. Law as Capt. of the 5th Co., "to be raised" June 25, 1747. His reputation as a brave and valuable officer still lives in the memories of aged people in N. Hav. He was a selectman, and was prominent and influential in local affairs. He lived on the west side of York st., near Chapel; d. Oct. 17, 1752; will dated Dec. 1751, nms. wf., Eunice, admx., s.

Some items from the inv., showing the value of land in N. Hav. 130 yrs. ago, are instructive: "2 acres in Yorkshire Quarter, £60; 1/2 acre bought of Robinson, 1/2 acre in the Plain, £210; 7 acres on Dayton Hill, £140; 3 acres meadow, 14 acres in ye Great Neck, 24 acres in ye 5th Division, £216; land laid out to THOMAS TUTTLE, sr., £264; 25 acres laid out to THOMAS TUTTLE, jr., £207; 23 1/4 acres on the back side of Westfield, £22."

She d., according to my record, in 1783, but the Hist. Soc. copy of the grave-stone inscription gives date Oct. 27, 1781, a. 77. She was an intelligent, well educated and devotedly pious woman. Her religious experience, written out in full in her own hand, as was the custom of that period, is preserved by her descendant, Mr. CHARLES THOMPSON.

While on a visit to New Hav., a party of British and Indians burned his house and murdered his whole family excepting a daughter, whom they carried away into captivity. After a fritless search for her, he returned to live with his friends in N. H., ruined and heart broken. Eventually he beame deranged or unsettled in mind, manifested sometimes in long, moody fits of silence. On the morning of July 5, 1779, his friends fled for safety to the old HUBBARD house near West Rock, but could not induce Elisha to go with them. The British soldiers found him, beat him cruelly, and at last pried upen his mouth with the point of a bayonet and cut out his tongue, perhaps because he would not answer their questions. He d. the same day. His family owned the ground and lived where Christ church now stands near the corner of Broadway and York st., and he was killed in that vicinity.
XI. Isaac, perhaps the Rev. sol. whose wid., ELIZABETH (a. 75, on pension list of 1840); lived with ISAAC TUTTLE in H. H.; the latter was doubtless the "bombardier" at the celebration of July 4, 1818."
