Note: History of Northwest Ohio - Lewis Publishing Company 1917 : p.733 "Miles H.(Henderson) Tuttle, who now lives retired at Van Wert, has performed ably and well his duties and responsibilities in the world. He was a good teacher, one of the pioneers in that line of labor in Van Wert County, and for many years faithfully performed his duties in the banking business at Van Wert. He has no conscious recollection of either his father or mother. Both parents died a few months after he was born. His birth occurred in a log cabin in the wilderness of Auburn Township in Crawford County, Ohio, June 6, 1836. As an orphan he was cared for in the family of Levi DeVoe of Auburn Township, and he has always been grateful to his foster parents for the careful training they gave him as a youth. He attended the public schools and worked to the limit of his strength on the farm. Making the best use of his opportunities, he acquired an education that made him competent for teaching at the age of sixteen. During his first term of school he was paid $16 a month. Later he attended school at Plymouth, Ohio, spent one year in the Academy at Republic in Seneca County, and in 1855 was a student in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. In 1856 Mr. Tuttle came to Van Wert and was employed as a teacher in the old frame schoolhouse that then stood at the comer of Linn and Woodland Avenue. His service in educational work kept him in Van Wert until 1866, after which he taught two years at Convoy in the same county. Giving up his school labors, Mr. Tuttle became bookkeeper with the First National Bank of Van Wert and for thirty years was identified with that institution, since which time he has lived retired. A Mr. George Tuttle of Rutland, Vermont, has compiled a history of the Tuttle family in America, showing all the important branches and ramifications of the name in this country and also introducing the relationship of the Tuttles with such other distinguished families as the Burrs, Woolseys, Frelinghuysens, Englishes, Graces, Greenwoods, Franklins, Edwards, etc. The direct ancestor of Miles H. Tuttle was William Tuttle, who was born in England and came to America on the ship Planter in 1639, locating in the colony of Connecticut. From him the descent goes through the following heads of generations: JONATHAN, who married Rebecca Bell, daughter of Lieutenant Francis Bell of Stamford, Connecticut; NATHANIEL TUTTLE, who married MARY TODD, daughter of Josiah and Abigail (Fredericks) Todd; URI TUTTLE, who married Thankful IVES; CHAUNCEY TUTTLE, who married Elizabeth (Andrews) PECK (widow of Jonathan Mansfield PECK) , and they were the parents of Miles Tuttle, Sr., father of the Van Wert citizen. Miles Tuttle, Sr., was born in Connecticut, where his father spent all his life. He was reared and married in his native state, and about 1830 he came west to Ohio, making the journey by stage coach, canal boat and lake boat. His first location was in Huron County, but in 1834 he penetrated the woods and the wilderness trails into Auburn Township of Crawford County. His was one of the early settlements made in that section of Northwest Ohio. Acquiring a tract of timberland, he erected the log cabin in which Miles A. Tuttle first saw the light of day. Some considerable clearing of the farm had been effected before death stayed his hand in August 1836. His wife, whose maiden name was Esther Bunnell, died one month after her husband. She was born in Fairfield County, Connecticut, a daughter of Stephen Bunnell. In 1857 Miles H. Tuttle married Miss Mary J. Murphy, who was born in Richland County, Ohio, a daughter of Samuel and Jane Murphy. Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle reared four daughters and one son: Esther B., who married S. C. Niman; Lulu, who married E. M. Alford; Edmonia Eugenia, wife of E. J. Germann; Jane A., who lives at home with her father; and Schuyler S., who is a successful physician. Mrs. Tuttle, the mother of these children, died June 20, 1910, after a long and happy married life of fifty-three years."
