Taken from "The Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock County, Wis." (c)1889, pp. 939:
"THOMAS TUTTLE, who is numbered among the pioneers of this county in 1840, was born in
New England in 1789 and was descended from one of the old families of that region. He was reared to manhood in his native State and on the breaking out of the war of 1812 responded to the call for troops. He participated in the battle at Sackett Harbor, and for his services in that engagement received a land warrant, which he afterwards located in this State. Mr. TUTTLE was married in Oneida County, N.Y., to Miss Rhoda WOODRUFF, a native of Connecticut, born in 1790. Soon after their marriage, the young couple removed to Rutland, Jefferson Co., N.Y., where a family of five children was born unto them, four of whom grew to manhood and womanhood - Charles married Almira GILBERT, by whom he had six children. Eugene, his first born, was a soldier in the late war, and died at the age of twenty-three, at Fort Riley, Kan. Egbert died at the age of eleven years. His living children are Volney, who married Carrie CHAMBERLAIN, and now lives in Jewell County, Kan.; Marietta, who wedded Dr. JENKS, resides in Kansas; George, who became the husband of Ellen JONES; William, who married Eva KENNEDY, resides on the old homestead. Charles TUTTLE came to Rock County in 1837, locating land on which the village of Clinton now stands. He was a valued and respected citizen, a member and faithful worker in the Congregational Church, and his death occurred in June, 1873. Henry, the second child of the family is now a resident of Clinton. Julia, widow of Milton S. WARNER, makes her home in Clinton. Rachel, the youngest, is the widow of Griswold WEAVER, and makes her home in Clinton Township. She is the mother of five children, Mortimer G., Olney Weaver, Ellen and Jessie. One died in infancy.
Throughout his entire life Mr. Tuttle followed the occupation of farming. In 1840, he removed with his family to Rock County, which was then an almost unbroken wilderness, and carried on that vocation. In his political views, he was in early life a Whig and a warm friend of William Henry Harrison. Later, he joined forces with the Free Soil party, and when the Republican party was formed to prevent the further extension of slavery, he joined its ranks and continued to fight under its banner until called from this life. As a citizen, he was true and loyal; as a husband and father, kind and affectionate; as a Christian, firm and faithful. He died at a ripe old age in Clinton, in June, 1873, and his wife was laid to rest in February 1871."
