All these families have intermarried with each other, generation after generation and in many instances relationships are unusually complicated. The settlement was very slow at first, and for many years some of the planters buried their dead and attended chh. in New Haven. Jonathan built a bridge over the Quinnipiac River in North Haven, which was long known as "Tuttle's bridge," and by a decree of the court he was allowed to demand of each traveler passing over it, horse and man, 2 pence in money or 3 pence in pay (barter); exception was made in favor of deputies going to court. He was also allowed to take moderate compensation for any refreshment or drink furnished to travelers, except strong drink.
