From the Narrative of the Life of Joseph Tuttle, son of Joseph Tuttle & Hannah Messenger, nephew of John Tuttle of Palmyra Twp. Portage Co. Ohio. A copy of full narrative is located at the Morley Library, Painesville, Ohio.
pg. 1
When my father (Joseph 1756-1816) was three years old, my grandfather (John 1726-1790) removed form Lebanon, Conn. to Sunderland, Mass., where he afterward died. He was lifting a stick of timer withe another man who threw down his end, and jarred grandfather and broke a blood vessel. My grandfather's name was John, and he was a mechanic, having the trades of wheelwright, carpenter, and stone mason. My grandmother's maiden name was Allen. My grandfather had seven children, three sons and four daughters, who were named respectively, Lucy, James, Lydian, Joseph, Eunice, Ruth, and John. My father's siser Lucy was married but to whom I do not remember. Lydia married a son of Barrows. Eunice married a man named Chapman and Ruth married Nathan Rice. This Nathan Rice was a revolutionary soldier and served during the whole war. He used to relate that he, in one battle, in which he was brought to the bayonet three times in one day and that it was so dry and hot that he could raise no more moisture in his mouth than there is in an oven. The sons also married, Uncle James married and buried one wife, and then remarried and raised children. He lived and died in Lee, Berkshire Co., Mass. John (who was in the revolutinary war when he was 16 years old) married the sister of Nathan Rice; her name was Abie. By her he had several children, all of whom died in infancy or childhood, except one son, also named John, who afterwards moved to Ohio with his father and died in a well when he was about 19, in Palmyra, Portage Co., Ohio in 1815. After the death of his first wife, John married Sally Broad, of Sunderland, Mass. by whom he raised children as follows; James, Sally, Joseph, LaFayette, Betsey, Nelson and Hector (who died in Mass.) The others lived and removed to Ohio with their father. Sally, his wife, died in Mass. He then married his third wife (who survived him), Polly Parker, the grass widow of Abner Wright. He removed with her to Palmyra (then Trumbull Co.) Ohio, in 1805, and then by his last wife raised nine children named respectively, Rebecca, Lydia, Horatio, Jesse, William, Isaac, Calvin, Seth, and Alvira.

We were forty eight days on our journey when we arrived in Portage Co. Ohio, on the twelfth day of August (1807).
Joseph Tuttle Sr. and family were residing in New York State, when his brother John of Palmyra persuaded his brother to bring his family to Palmyra and settle.
pg. 9
When we arrived in Palmyra,the town had been settled eight years. At this time Uncle John had a grist mill with which people used to grind a few quarts of corn when out of meal, till they had a chance to send to the mill. I myself have often helped grind with this mill.
In August after we arrived, my sister Electa, then aged about seven years and a girl named Sally Bacon, came near being killed by a tree falling on them. They and my elder sister Eunice, and an elder sister of the Bacon girl named Nancy, had been to turn Bacon's cows in the pasture, and on their return the two younger girls lingered behind and happened by chance to be under a gridled tree when the decayed top gave way and fell directly upon the children. Electa was knocked down and stunned, and the other girl was just brushed by the limb, but not severely hurt. I immediately ran for Uncle John to come and bleed Electa, for he had a lance and sometimes acted as a kind of surgeon pro tem., in the absence of any one more skilled, there being no regular doctor nearer then Canfield, about twenty fives miles distant. Electa soon became better but has suffered slightly all her life. Uncle John also acted as a dentist for his neighbors and was called on to help take care of the sick. He was then regarded as the wealthiest man in town and a good provider for his family, yet during the first year I was there i have seen his family sit at meals in which no salt had been used, and simply because they had not got it and could not get it.
pg. 10
My father was always discontented and in the month of June, finally he sold his farm and in the July following, began his return to New York State. (1809)
Joseph Tuttle Jr. 1796-1884 ( Joseph and his siblings, returned to Ohio, with their maternal grandparents settling in Lake Co. Oh)
