Notes
a. Note:   BIOGRAPHICAL: "Solomon entered the service in May 1775, in Capt. Peleg Southerlands Company and was at the taking of vessels on or at the outlet of Lake Champlain. Solomon served as a Minute Man upwards of three years. In November 1779 he was taken prisoner by the Indians. They took him to Canada and the next Spring, gave him to the British who took him to Montreal where there was a number of Tories. After having lain in irons for 7 months, they were removed but he was kept in close confinement until they were regularly exchanged. He was in captivity for one year, nine months, and three days. Solomon Tuttle and family, and brother Nyal, and William Morrow and family, and Joseph Snowden and his wife, Margaret and family came with a group of pioneers, in 1798, from Bennington, Vermont and Torrington, Connecticut, by way of Marietta (called Adelphia) to locate in Middletown (Athens), Ohio.
 Athens was settled in 1796. The men left their families with the Snowdens in Middletown (Athens) and went to scout the lands to the north on which to build their homes. This area was known to have Blackfoot, Shawnee, and Chippewa Indians on the plains west of the river (Hocking River). About two miles eastward along the eastern branch of what they named Sunday Creek, near what is now Bishopville, the Tuttles, with the help of Morrow, staked their claims, cut their timbers and built a three room log house. They were about 45 miles from Zanesville (which was the Ohio State Capital, 1811-1812 ). The Tuttles helped stake out another section west of Bishopville on Sunday Creek located by the present covered bridge, for William Morrow. They built the same type of log house for him and his family. Then, they returned by the way of the Forks (Glouster) and returned to Middletown (Athens) where they gathered together their families and all their belongings and retraced their steps back to their new homes."

 The following is taken from biographical memoirs left in manuscript form (91 pages) by Reverand Chandler Tuttle, born August 22, 1786, son of Captain Solomon, said manuscript now in the family of the late Rev. J.B. Tuttle, of Philadelphia:
 " I find in a deposition which my father, Captain Solomon Tuttle, made before Hon. Robert Linsey, one of the associate judges of Athens County, and to which he certified that he was personally acquinted with Solomon Tuttle and knew his statement entitled to credit, that my father entered the service in May 1775, in Captain Peleg Sunderland's Company, and that he was of the taking of Ticonderoga by Col. Ethan Allen, that he was dismissed in July following, that afterward he enlisted in Captain Robert Correghran's company in Colonel Eastman's regiment, that he was of the taking of Fort St. Johns by General Montgomery; he also assisted in capturing a number of vessels on or at the outlet at the lake and was at the taking of Sorelle and was discharged in December. He enlisted about Christmas of the same year in Captain Woodbridge's company under General Wooster and wintered in Montreal. In the following April he was honorably dismissed without a written discharge. Afterward he was enrolled and served as a "minute man" upward of three years. In November, 1779, he, with my mother and their only child at that time were taken prisoners by a party of Indians which had accompanied the British from Canada. My mother and brother through the influence of the British officers were allowed to remain where they were, but my father was taken into Canada and kept by the Indians until the following Spring when he was given up to the British. He was then taken to Montreal where there were a number of Tories whom he had helped to expel from the country. They informed the British that he was an active Whig, and he therefore with others was immediately put in irons and lodged in jail as a rebel. After having lain in irons for seven months they were taken off, but he was kept in close confinement until he was regularly exchanged, when he returned to his family, the time of his captivity amounting to one year, nine months and three days. He made deposition to what I have written in substance April 29, 1818."
  About 1798 he came to Marietta and then to Athens, building one of the first cabins there. After a residence here of a few years he removed to Sandusky Creek, being the first settle in Trimble Township. He died November 30, 1830, and is buried on Boudinot farm, north of Millfield. Two of his grandchildren live in the county, Mr. Austin True, north of Millfield, and Mrs. Daniel Fulton, west of Athens. His daughter, Cyrena, of the third marriage, was born November 22, 1817, in Trimble township. She was married to James J. Woods, November 14, 1839, in Athens county. She was the mother of nine children, three of whom are living. She has had 119 lineal descendants, 89 of whom are living (1904). In March, 1904, she removed from Anthon, Woodbury county, Iowa, to the home of her daughter at Arvada, Colorado.

  *Note* Monument was located in the woods near the cemetery. It has been uprooted from it's original resting place. On the bottom (base) is written: DAR 1929. I am guessing this was placed at that time which may explain the "Lt" instead of Capt. The cemetery is located in a field on private property still owned by the Boudinot Family. Over time all the monuments have been removed and discarded into a ravine. Athens Historical Society along with Ohio University is in "delicate negotiations" with the family to be allowed to place a single marker with all the names listed. For more information contact the Athens Historical Society.
