TUTTLE, PANTRY, JUDSON, HURD - AN IMPORTANT CORRECTION
By Donald Lines Jacobus, New Haven, Conn.
The acute Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary of New England, vol. 4 (1862), p. 479, states that Thomas Welles [Jr.] of Hartford, Conn., "m. 23 June 1654, Hannah, wid. of John Pantry of the same, d. of Richard Tuttle of Boston, as I think"; also, that Hannah died 9 Aug. 1683. Under Pantry, he had stated that Hannah was probably daughter of Richard Tuttle.
In 1883 George Frederick Tuttle published Descendants of William and Elizabeth Tuttle, and therein identified Hannah the wife of John Pantry and Thomas Welles as daughter of William Tuttle of New Haven, Conn. This identification has since been generally accepted. Mary Kingsbury Talcott in the Memorial History of Hartford County (1886), vol. 1, p. 254, stated that Johin Pantry "m. Hannah, du. Of WILLIAM and ELIZABETH TUTTLE, of New Haven; d. in 1653 . . . . His widow m. (2) June 23, 1654, Thomas Welles, son of Gov. Welles; d. Aug. 9, 1683, ae. 50."
It is true that in 1915 Frank Farnsworth Starr, in Goodwin-Morgan Ancestral Lines, vol. 2, p. 318, struck a cautious note. He wrote: "The writer of this sketch has examined the records at Hartford and New Haven without finding any reference to the maiden name of the wife of John Pantry. The name of William Tuttle, however, appears as a witness to the agreement for the division of the estate of William Pantry [father of John] . . . which was signed at Milford. Possibly William Tuttle was a witness in the interest of his supposed son-in-law John Pantry." [comment: or perhaps was just a prominent citizen, friend and/or neighbor of William Pantry, one among a literate minority readily at handas often was the case in those times.]
The present writer, in his youth, when collecting the data eventually published (1922-32) in the New Haven Genealogical Magazine [see 8:1881], accepted the conclusion of Mr. Tuttle that Mrs. Hannah Pantry-Welles was the daughter of William Tuttle of New Haven, and made no later study of this specific question when compiling Hale, House and Related Families (1952), where an article on the Tuttle family, including the English origin, appears in pages 770-775. The following points would seem to favor that conclusion:
1. Mr. Tuttle had made an intensive study of many of the New Haven families, and an extensive study of the Tuttles including the other Tuttle families of New England, hence his conclusion regarding the identity of Hannah was not lightly to be dismissed.
2. The death of Mrs. Hannah Pantry-Welles in 1683 aged 50 is said to be from her tombstone. That agrees with the age of William Tuttle`s daughter, "Ann," stated as 2ΒΌ in the shipping list in 1635. The age of Richard Tuttle`s daughter "Anna" in the same list was stated as 12 years, making her born about 1623, hence some 10 years older than Mrs. Pantry-Welles was supposed to be.
3. The marriage of William Tuttle`s daughter Elizabeth to Richard Edwards of Hartford is easy to understand if her older sister was then living in Hartford as Mrs. Welles.
4. Of Hannah`s Pantry children, the son John married Abigail Mix, while the daughter Mary married Nathaniel Mix, children of Thomas Mix of New Haven. That again would be easy to understand if the Pantry children had numerous Tuttle uncles and aunts in New Haven to visit.
5. It seemed a little more likely that William Tuttle was present and acted as a witness in connection with William Tuttle`s estate if his daughter rather than a niece was the wife of John Pantry.
6. A descendant of Mrs. Hannah Pantry-Welles was able to obtain the baptismal record of William Tuttle`s daughter "Anne" in England on 20 Jan. 1632/3, confirming her age in the shipping list, and use of the chart prepared for this descendant by the College of Arms was kindly permitted in Hale, House and Related Families, above referred to; and on this chart Hannah wife of Thomas Welles of Hardford is identified as daughter of William Tuttle.
Despite the strong case which can be made out for Mr. Tuttle`s conclusion, now so generally accepted, it is wrong. Hannah the wife of John Pantry and Thomas Welles of Hartford was daughter of Richard Tuttle of Boston. Ann or Anna the daughter of William Tuttle of New Haven married first, Joshua Judson of Stratford, and second, John Hurd "Jr." of Stratford and Woodbury, Conn., by both of whom she left issue.
In reaching these conclusions, the writer wishes to thank Joseph M. Kellogg, Esq., of Lawrence, Kansas, and Clarence A. Torrey, Esq., of Boston, Mass., for helpful items, and also to acknowledge the use of two or three records obtained from Woodbury records in the course of a search made by the writer on behalf of Eugene Diven Buchanan, Esq., of Highland Park, Illinois.
Charles H. Pope in Pioneers of Massachusetts (1900), p. 466, in his account of Richard Tuttle of Boston stated: "His dau. Hannah was adm. chh. 25 (10) 1647: dism. 8 (5) 1649, to chh. of Hartford, now wife of one John Pantry." Apparently Mr. Pope was quoting from the First Church records of Boston, and if so, these records make it quite certain that it was Richard`s daughter Hannah (Anna) who married John Pantry and later Thomas Welles, Jr. It is quite surprising that M. Starr [op. Cit.] in discussing the question fifteen years after Pope`s work appeared felt so uncertain as to the identity of John Pantry`s wife and even cited an item which might be construed as favorable to the claim she was daughter of William Tuttle. Clearly we must conclude that her stone erred or was misread in calling her aged 50 at her death in 1683, for being the daughter of Richard Tuttle she was about 60.
This would leave William Tuttle`s daughter Anne or Anna without a history, but fortunately several record items brought together for consideration establish her history and we conclude that it is fully proved.
Anne`s brother Benjamin Tuttle was executed for the slaying of his sister Sarah. The Connecticut Archives contain documents relating to this affair in the categories "Private Controversies" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors." Among them is a letter written in 1678 by the unhappy mother, who at the age of 68, sitting in the big chair before the fire, had seen her son kill his sister with an axe. [comment: Jacobus erred slightly here, only in regard to the mother sitting by the fire, etc. The murder occurred at Sarah`s home in Stamford, and it was Sarah sitting by the fire. Her son`s eyewitness account of the murder, see addenda to this item, was included in the court`s account that apparently was misinterpreted by Jacobus.] In the letter, in connection with the property of her son Benjamin, she tells of the distribution of her husband`s estate and of Benjamin`s portion, and then speaks of a debt due her from her son John Hurd of Stratford. In the inventory of her own estate (1684) is mentioned "a rug not entered their sister Herd had" and "another rug Symon had." What daughter could Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle have had, sister to Simon and the other Tuttle children, who married John Hurd?
Only Anne is available. There were two John Hurds in Stratford. The elder, probably as a childless widower, married 1 Dec. 1662 Sarah Thompson, who survived his death (4 Feb. 1681/2) and remarried. His nephew, John Hurd "Jr.," maried 10 Dec. 1662 Ann, widow of Joshua Judson. By Judson she had three children, two sons whose births in 1658 ad 1660 are on record, and a daughter, presumably olderthan the sons and born about 1656 since she married about 1676. The marriage of Joshua Judson to his wife Ann must therefore be surmised as having occurred about 1654-5. That accords well with the baptism of William Tuttle`s daughter Anne in England in 1633. The youngest Hurd child was born in 1673, when Anne Tuttle was 40 years old. Hence both he name and age admit of the identification of Anne Tuttle with the wife (successively) of Joshua Judson and John Hurd "Jr."
The final proof is in the Woodbury land records. The Hurds had six children born and recorded in Stratford. One of these was Benjamin in 1666/7, another was Ebenezer in 1668. On 29 Apr. 1688, John Hurd and his wife were admitted to the Woodbury Church from Stratford. John Hurd conveyed 23 Mar. 1686/7 to his sons Joseph and Benjamin, they to maintain John and his wife for seven years [Woodbury Deeds, 1:100]. He died before 20 Dec. 1690, when an agreement respecting his estate was made by Anna Hurd "Widdow," and the four [surviving] children, Joseph, Benjamin, Ebenezer and Sarah Hurd [ib., 4:12].
In a recording of the lands of Benjamin Hurd in Woodbury [ib., 1:46], we read "Benj Hurd by way of exchange with his uncle Nathaniel Tuttle hath 3 1/5 acres . . . in two parcells . . . layd out 11 May 1696." Also [ib., 1:49], "12 of 10 Mo. 1698. Ebenezer Hurd by . . . exchange with uncle Nathaniel Tuttle hath purchased 3 acres of wood division . . . as also such a part of his sd uncles land next northward from what he purchased of benjamin and Ebenezer Hurd." Then, in a listing of Tuttle`s land, we find [ib., 1:57, 58] "Mr. Nathaniel Tuttle by way of exchange with his Couzen Benj Hurd," and "Mr. Nathaniel Tuttle by way of exchange with his Couzen Ebenr Hurd hath purchased 3 1/2 acres" etc.
Nathaniel Tuttle (1652/3-1721) of Woodbury is known as the youngest of the twelve children of William and Elizabeth Tuttle. Since his mother called John Hurd of Stratford her "son"; since he and is brothers and sisters had a "sister Herd"; since John and Anna Hurd of Stratford and Woodbury had sons Benjamin and Ebenezer; and since Nathaniel Tuttle was uncle of Benjamin and Ebenezer Hurd; it is proved that Nathaniel`s sister Anne Tuttle was the wife of John Hurd.
The descendants of John Pantry and Thomas Welles Jr. must therefore be removed from the genealogy of the William Tuttle family, and placed as descendants of Richard and Anne (Taylor) Tuttle. To offset the loss, the astronomical number of William Tuttle`s descendants must now be increased to include: the Perrys of Stratford, Oxford and Woodbury stemming from Ann Judson and her husband Arthur Perry; the family of Samuel Judson (1660-1725/6) of Stratford; the numerous Hurds of Woodbury, Conn., and Sandgate, Vt., descending from Joseph Hurd (1665/6-1751) and Benjamin Hurd (1666/7-1754) chiefly from the latter who had seven sons and one daughter, all married; and the Hurds of Killingsworth. Conn., the progeny of Ebenezer Hurd (b. 1668). Ann Tuttle`s other Judson child, Joshua, died young, as did also her last two Hurd children, Ruth and John; and her eldest Hurd child, Sarah, born 10 Dec. 1664, died unmarried at Woodbury, 13 Jan. 1722/3.
It should be observed by those interested in the Hurd family that printed accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and not to be relied upon.
