Notes
a. Note:   Tuttle, printed & published by Tuttle & Co., Rutland, VT, 1883:
 p.511
 "Gershom Tuttle, b. June 11, 1769; removed from Bristol, Conn., to Paris, Oneida Co., NY, about 1790; thence about 1800 to Jefferson Co., NY and opened a farm of 275 acres about five miles from the site of Watertown, in the town of Rutland, which was formed two years later (1802). He was one of the first commissioners of highways. In 1806, in company with SETH BAILEY, he built the first grist mill in the town. From 1808 to 1816 he was commissioner for loaning moneys of the sate (History of Jefferson County, NY). In 1810 his name appears as subscriber to the stock of the Black River Navigation Co.
 He engaged in trading, manufacturing potash, etc. The highway leading past his house became a great thoroughfare between Northern New York, New England and the lake country, and the location being favorable he made large additions to his house and opened a tavern. In the rear of his house a magnificent spring bubbled seemingly out of the solid rock. The forest supplied venison, the streams supplied speckled trout. He was a man of excellent character, genial temper, very fond of a joke, a capital story teller and imitator of men and manners, and a good story and good cheer were always ready. The tavern became famous. When the war of 1812 was imminent, the stream of business and travel along the road towards Sckett's Harbor became enormous; army supplies, artillery, baggage wagons, troops, soldiers and sailers every evening, "and a harem-scarem set of fellows they were." One day a part of mounted officers drew up in front of the tavern and ordered their horses fed and dinner for themselves. In this party with this, that and the other thing about the house, to the great annoyance of the landlord, who, losing his patience at last, informed the fastidious young gentleman that if the house didn't suit, he had better try somewhere else. "All right" was the reply, "but before I leave I will go and kiss the landlady," and suiting the action to the word, repaired promptly to the kitchen (the Col. in close pursusit), and embracing the astonished "lady of the houses," gave her a ringing salute; but before the enraged host could reach him to effect summary chastisement, he heard the Lieut. exclaim, "My dear aunt, don't you know me? I am your brother's son, NEWMAN CLARK, your nephew." This little surprise afforded much merriment, and was kept longer in remembrance than many affairs of much graver import. Lieut. Clark was in many hard fought battles of the war; was severely wounded at Niagara; served with distinction in the Florida Indian wars, and in the war with Mexico; was promoted to Brig. Gen. in the regular army for gallantry in the field. He died in San Francisco, CA about 1858, while in command of the Department of the Pacific.
 During the war of 1812 Col. Tuttle was in command of a militia regiment, and was suddenly ordered to the defense of Sackett's Harbor, in which action he took part.
 Col. Tuttle was to his dying day exceedingly sensitive on the subject of this affiar. Being an earnest and active politician of the Democratic order, the Federalists made use of it to annoy him. Circumstances growing out of this matter also caused an estrangement between Gen. Brown and himself, who had been warm personal friends. In 1816 he removed with all his family but his son, Dennis, to Vigo Co., Indiana, on Otter Creek, about six miles from Terre Haute, where he died Sept. 5, 1823, age 54, and was buried with Masonic honors. Some years afterward Gen. Brown, being to Watertown and suffering from partial paralysis, called DENNIS TUTTLE to his side, took his hand, and with deep feeling paid a glowing tribute to the character of Col. Gershom Tuttle. He married in Farmington, Conn., July 8, 1788 Pamelia Strong Clark of Farmington, b. Nov. 4, 1770. Her brother was an officer of the U.S.A and died while in charge of the U.S. arsenal in Troy, NY. Gen. NEWMAN STRONG CLARK of the Dept. of the Pacific, was her nephew. She died at Nashville, Indiana, April 15, 1851, age 81."

  Terre Haute Tribune, June 22, 1947:
 GERSHOM TUTTLE
 "Three hundred and fifteen years ago the watchman on Beacon Hill above the little village that was Boston, saw on the far horizon what has been hoped for over many weeks. It was the ship Planter and as it landed amid the welcoming people, who were never far from starvation in those early days, there came ashore William TUTTLE and his wife, Elizabeth, first of the name to reach the shores of America.
 Of their children we know that a son Simon had a son who became known as Deacon Timothy and Timothy had among others, a son whom he named Gershom, and three following generations used the name. A great-grandson of Deacon Timothy, after serving in the War of the Revolution, came with his family to Vigo county. He died in 1818, aged 80 years.
 Of his son Gershom we know a great deal more for he in turn left a large family. Born in 1769, he married in 1788 Pamelia Strong CLARK who was born in 1770. To them were born Dennis, Chester, Edwin, Cynthia, Pamelia, Mary, Amanda, Clark and Ara. Some of these came to Vigo county, married here and with but few exceptions spent all their lives here.
 The eldest son, Dennis, married Laura PORTER and they had Perry, Gaylord, Pamelia, Charlotte, Benjamin, Julia, Catherine and Mary. Dennis was born in 1792 and died in 1807, probably in New York as did Edwin.
 Chester, born in 1796, married Charlotte STEVENS and had Chauncey. Cynthia, born in 1803, married first Perez PORTER, second Nathaniel HUNTINGTON and last James HUNTINGTON, his brother, but left no descendants.
 Pamelia, born in 1805 married Gaylord PORTER who may have been of the same family as Laura and Perez.
 Mary, born in 1807, married in 1820 to Alva HITCHKISS, and died in 1886. They had Walter and Mary.
 Amanda, born in 1809, married in 1825 to Henry MARKLE, and lived in Lafayette and Bloomington, where they rest in the city cemetery. They had John, Gershom, Amelia, Sarah and Kate.
 Clark Strong, born in 1811, married in 1832 to Harriet McSweaney, and had Hannah, Frank, who married Mary NAUFLE? An, and Aula. Harriet died, and in 1852 he married Nancy A. HARBERT. These had Emma, Dennis, Richard, Hattie B., Dellie E. and Carrie.
 Ara, the last of the issue of Gershom and Pamelia, died near Danville, Ill.
 Perry Erie?, the son of Dennis and Laura, married in 1841 to Julia A. CRANE and had Nellie Frances, Harriet Electa, Eliza Lorgan, Laura Ophelia, Millie Morrow, Zenlah Kate and Martha Washington. We have no trace of his brothers and sisters.
 Chauncey, son of Chester and Charlotte, married Mary Ann Stites and had a son, Morton.
 John, son of Henry MARKLE and Amanda, married Isabella CRANMER, who died within the year and his second wife, Martha, had two sons, William and Milliard Fillmore and a daughter named Queen Elizabeth who married in 1880 S.T. WOODWARD.
 Gershom, another of the name from early generations, was born at Lafayette and buried there, married Ella J. RICHETTS and had Harriet and Cora.
 Amelia married Ambrose CUNNING, Kate married a man named Douglas and Sarah married William BROWNING at Bloomington and had Walter, Emma, Laura J., David W. and William Lincoln.
 Clark Strong by his first wife had Frank who married Mary NAUGLE and of his sisters Hannah and Aula we know nothing.
 Of his children by the second wife, Dennis C. married in 1881 Luella TAYLOR and had Zula H. and Frank Naylor.
 Of the issue of Perry TUTTLE and Julia CRANE, Millie Morrow married William H. RIPPETOE and had Louis, Raymond, William and Earle.
 Herbert MARKLE married in 1903 to Harriet E. ANDREWS and had Katherine A., Mary Elizabeth, Harriet Jane and Herbert A.
 His sister, Cora, married Oscar R. ARMSTRONG and has Robert, James and John.
 Sarah and her husband, William BROWNING had Walter, Emma, Laura J., who married first Joseph McPHEETERS and second a man named SMITH and a son David W. born in 1850 and died in 1907 who had a daughter named Sadie A., born in 1879 and died in 1900.
 Frank N. TUTTLE married Ethel E. SPEAR and had Richard C., Betty Jane, Frank N. Jr., Beverly Maxine, Maurice Rudolph and Gretchen Lee.
 Martha Washington TUTTLE married Herbert SPELLMAN and Raymond RIPPETOE married Lucy FERRILL and Chas. FERRILL who married Nell GOODRICH and they have Miriam, William F. and Joyce.
 William RIPPETOE married Margaret FERRILL, a sister of the wife of Ray RIPPETOE.
 No doubt there are many more descendants of this old soldier of the Revolution and the Indiana branch headed by his son of the War of 1812 and the writer would be glad to learn of their connection."
