Note: From Harry R. Brown's book: Valley of the Remsheg: In May of 1779, Stephen Tuttle had fled from NY to Canada. He was a Loyalist/Tory, who had refused to lead a Company in the Rebel Army, to take Oaths. He had been providing arms & ammunition to the scouts for the King's Army, and British and Loyalists when imprisoned. His wife Mary Graham had been raised in a home sympathetic to the Rebel cause. Her brother John Graham became a Major in the Rebel Army in NY, 1st Regiment. In September of 1779, Colonel Goose Van Schaick wrote to NY Governor Clinton: "Major John Graham of my regiment is desirous of obtaining a Flag to get his sister with a large family of small children conveyed to Canada to join her husband, who left her in the month of May with very little to support them". Gov. Clinton consented to the removal, and suggested to Gen. Schuyler that they be exchanged for the wife and family of Col. Campbell, captured by the British, at Cherry Valley, a year previously, and held prisoners in Canada. ~~~~~~~~~~ Stephen's first four sons from his first wife, Mary Coulter, served in the American Revolution. It is assumed that they did not accompany their father to Canada and were part of those very few Tuttles living in the Albany, NY area. ~~~~~~~~~~ Nova Scotia, Canada, Census, Assessment and Poll Tax Records, 1770-1795, 1827 Name: Stephen Tuttle Residence Year: 1791 Residence: Ramsheg, Cumberland, Nova Scotia, Canada Record Type: Poll Tax Roll ~~~~~~~~~~ Nova Scotia, Canada, Land Petitions, 1765-1800 Name: Stephen Tuttle Year: 1787 Place of Land Record: Cumberland Details: Warrant to Survey (Tuttle).
