"Caleb Tuttle, b. 29 Aug 1678, m. 1 Mar 1699, Mary, dau. of Samuel and Sarah TALMADGE (HOTCHKISS), b. 1 Jan 1680. See conv. 1721 by Caleb and Mary T. of right in est. of our father, Samuel H. of East Haven to brother, Samuel H. She died 12 Nov 1723; (2) m. 17 Feb 1725 Hannah (BUTLER), widow of JOHN TODD, to whom she was married 9 Feb 1708, and he died 21 Sep 1723. She was dau. of JOHN BUTLER of Branford, Conn. His dau., THANKFUL TODD, married DAVID PUNDERSON, and received from her mother 1/6 of Todd's grist mill. Caleb received deed of land from his father, Thomas T. 1702. In 1739 he conv. 20 acres in 5th div. to son, Thomas. In 1743 he bought of Daniel and Abigail Atwater right in land laid out to JOHN NEWMAN; and eleven years afterward, 1754, Caleb's children sold it to Nath. Heaton. This conv. was made by James, Enos, Timothy, Abraham, Mary wife of Timothy Ford, and Eliphalet of Litchfield. Caleb Tuttle was prominent in the first secession from the First Society, a movement which resulted in the face of a powerful opposition in the organization of the Second Ecclesiastical Society in New Haven, now known as the "North Church." The first meetings were held in the house of TIMOTHY JONES (son of Dept. Gov. Wm.), whose wife, says Prest. Stiles, was sister to CALEB TUTTLE's 2nd wife. This house stood on the northwest corner of State and Court Streets until about 1878 when it was torn down to make room for a fine block erected by Hon. J. E. ENGLISH. The house becoming too small for the growing congregation, and being refused a place on the public square, they built in 1744 on the corner of Church and Elm Streets (now occupied by St. John's block), the lot having been previously abought by CALEB TUTTLE and JOSEPH BURROUGHS, and conv. to the Society. This house afterwards enlarged and painted blue was known as the "Blue Meeting House." Its bell when first hung, was heard it is said in more towns than any other bell in New Haven County. It was eventually removed to Cheshire, Conn., and hung in the tower of the Episcopal Church. In 1748, when the society employed JOHN CURTIS to preach, CALEB TUTTLE and wife and DAVID PUNDERSON and wife, THANKFUL, conv. a half acre and 17 rods, fronting 100 feet on Elm Street for a parsonage lot. Caleb and his wife, Hannah, had become owners of 2/3 of it by deed from her sons, JOSEPH and JOHN TODD in 1726. This was the Blue Meeting House parsonage lot, and is now the site of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church. Mrs. HANNAH TUTTLE died 27 Oct 1748 in her 65th year. Caleb died 1751, intestate, and court appt. son Enos administrator; inv. £193; mentions 4 acres in Yorkshire Quarter. Prest. Stiles in his History of the Judges says of Caleb Tuttle; "He was a plain good man whom I well knew, a man of integrity, very intimate with Gov. Jones' son, they having married sisters.* * * He was a zealous religionist and warmly captivated with characters distinguished for holiness and piety, and according to my idea of the man, whom I well remember, he would, I should think, have listened to the anecdotes and history of these pious and heroic sufferers with avidity and curious and feeling attention. I doubt not he knew more about the subject than all his posterity, and he is the source of the information concerning the Whalley Stone.""
