"Through the Music of the Ainur, Ilúvatar created the World and the beings who inhabit it, and only he fully knows its fate."

"I come to ferry you hence across the tide To endless night, fierce fires and shramming cold."

                                         - Dante, quoted by Kay Jamison
                                           in one of her books on manic depression
                                           Artwork "Valinor", of a scene
                                           in "Lord of the Rings"

The Puritans were the English branch of the Reformed movement, founded by John Calvin. Here is a statement of their core theology, from the Canons of Dort, one of their historical confessions of faith. A former minister at my Episcopal Church, who is a modern day proponent of this theology, argues that they put the kingship back in God! That is SERIOUSLY one way to put it. It was a medieval theology, well suited to the manic depressive temperament of the Tuttle family. God is a moody, capricious warlord who elects men for salvation or damnation based only on his good pleasure, His Great Name be Praised. Men's places were predefined and unchangeable, both in Heaven, and on Earth. People must all attend church regardless of their divine or this worldly place, and noone must have the affrontery to question the Lord's judgement, nor even to wonder at their own fates. But for those who could believe they were among the chosen, this quite mystical faith in a kinglike god who brings light from above to a miserable world, provided untold ecstasy. For people who need to think that the world is tightly divinely ordered, predestination is the ultimate in believing that God is in control.

"Election is the unchangeable purpose of God, whereby, before the foundation of the world, He has out of mere grace, according to the sovereign good pleasure of His own will, chosen from the whole human race, which had fallen through their own fault from their primitive state of uprightness into sin and destruction, a certain number of persons to redemption in Christ, whom He from eternity appointed the Mediator and Head of the elect and the foundation of salvation. This elect number, though by nature neither better nor more deserving than others, but with them involved in one common misery, God has decreed to give to Christ to be saved by Him, and effectually to call and draw them to His communion by His Word and Spirit; to bestow upon them true faith, justification, and sanctification; and having powerfully preserved them in the fellowship of His Son, finally to glorify them for the demonstration of His mercy, and for the praise of the riches of His glorious grace.

"This election was not founded upon foreseen faith and the obedience of faith, holiness, or any other good quality or disposition in man, as the prerequisite, cause, or condition on which it depended; but men are chosen to faith and to the obedience of faith, holiness, etc. The good pleasure of God is the sole cause of this gracious election.

"And as God Himself is most wise, unchangeable, omniscient, and omnipotent, so the election made by Him can neither be interrupted nor changed, recalled, or annulled; neither can the elect be cast away, nor their number diminished.

"The elect in due time, ... attain the assurance of this their eternal and unchangeable election...by observing in themselves with a spiritual joy and holy pleasure the infallible fruits of election pointed out in the Word of God, such as, a true faith in Christ, filial fear of God, a godly sorrow for sin, a hungering and thirsting after righteousness, etc.

"And herein is especially displayed the profound, the merciful, and at the same time the righteous discrimination between men equally involved in ruin; or that decree of election and reprobation, revealed in the Word of God, which, though men of perverse, impure, and unstable minds wrest it to their own destruction."

A note for young relations who read this page; Today many Christian denominations teach that God variously intends or elected to save everyone, and his saving grace is available to all. Worrying on this subject is a good way to end up with serious depression or in a state of despair.

In fact, this is central to the Salem witch trials. The psychological unworkability of Calvinist theology left the Puritan churches in a state of crisis. All over Massachusetts teenagers who had done everyday goofy things their church forbade frightened themselves into fits of thinking they'd been given over to Satan. Adults were required to convince their church elders that they were in some state of grace in order to be allowed to receive Communion. All over Massachusetts teh most devout members of the churches, often family members of clergy, found themselves unable in good conscience to feel certain assurance of the state of their relationship with God, adn refused to come to church.

In the Evangelical churches, core belief in predestination very much underlies the internal assurance one is supposed to feel that one is saved, if one is not in fact damned to hell, to paraphrase Billy Graham, and this still drives people to extreme anxiety and depression. When I was a teenager, I saved my sanity by withdrawing from Christianity for 20 years until I understood it better.

To best understand people who are attracted to it, it is critical to understand that this theology is the product of feudal societies that produced it. Judeo-Christian theology is at its heart covenental, based on the ancient southwest Asian notion that some god of life or Lord of the Covenant chose some group of people for his feudal property based on his good pleasure. They were bound to an agreement with him. As long as they kept teh agreement he gave life. If they broke the agreement they could incur dire consequences like death and destruction. However, they never chose to enter into a contractual relationship with this god. First, in the ancient feudal societies of southwestern Asia where Palestine is, the gods were viewed as kingly warlords, and people as feudal vassals did not choose the warlord god who took possession of them. Second, the ancient peoples of southwestern Asia thought that all things of this world including humanity are fundamentally corrupt and enlightenment must come from the realms above where the gods dwell and light exists.

The theology of Electon reflects a feudal world where everything has its preordained place. Some people are very high, some people are very low, and one's place was preordained and is eternally fixed, both on Earth and in Heaven. The theology of predestination also reflects teh eternal tendency of aristocracies to invent gods who emotionally resemble themselves; in this case, gods who emotionally exactly resemble warlords - moody, unstable, capricious, and cruel. In feudal societies, the head god is always a warlord with manic depression.

But the Judeo-Christian understanding of who God covenanted to save evolved. The modern Christian understanding is that Jesus as the Lord of Life inaugurated a new covenant that encomasses all of humanity. The most fundamental element of any theology of the Lord of the Covenant is that God saves people because it is his nature, not that God selects certain people for salvation and leaves others to be damned for reasons they have no control over.

Ancestors of mine who were very intense, feudal warlordlike in temperament, subject to anxiety and depression, and needed to worship a lordly majestic God who brings light from above to a miserable and divinely microordered world, and often subject to pathological fire and ice ecstatic states that could be channeled into religious mysticism, hung onto Calvinist theology and other feudal ways of thinking longer than people around them did.

When I discussed key features of my Dehaven family history with the leader of a bipolar support group, I learned that people with this condition are often drawn to Evangelical Christianity - because they get an emotional high from it. People with manic depression are high in the manic state, and often addicted to these highs.

Tolkien, who wrote the Lord of teh Rings trilogy, made exactly the same use of Roman Catholic mysticism, and as the artwork of a scene from his book above illustrates, this also comes through vividly in Tolkien's reconstruction of southwestern Asian metamythology. The scene above depicts ecstatic beauty, but it doesn't look like a place where one would actually want to be. The picture portrays a beauty composed of icy cold fire. It perfectly illustrates teh statement above from Dante's Inferno, that writers with manic depression often quote, often with similar artwork, to illustrate what clinical mania is like. Fire and ice is the hallmark quality of manic states. Tolkien almost certainly knew mania well. Tolkien had repeated bouts of deep depression or melancholy and obsessive anxiety, which is often true of bipolar disorder, his parents had questionable mental health, and did such typically bipolar things as abruptly running off to Africa to make alot of money that's not there, and many things that he said and wrote could not have been said or written by someone who did not know the inner world of bipolar disorder. Some of Tolkien's statements about the mystical nature of Holy Communion also suggest that he had experienced clinical mania. Those who have been there are never again the same.

TUTTLE

The Tuttle story is one of my qualifying stories for
Rootsweb's International Black Sheep Society

After checking out the citations that people sent me, as much as I could
get ahold of them, mostly TAG, and a couple of citations, I never did get
ahold of the Prindle book, I found that documents such as wills establish
that the Tuttles were of Northampton. My sources, as well as a summary of the
disproven roots cited in older Tuttle genealogies in the United States, are
below.

Ringstead Tuttles

This is the true Tuttle lineage. The material is a little confusing.
Here is the version I put together;

First Generation

Thomas Totehyll, Of Woodford, co Northampton, Engl b 1506.
assessed for subsidy there, 1544. Karen Price has him marrying
Elizabeth Mason, source? He witnessed wills of Robert Crosse, 1524,
Robert Pashles, 1538, Sir Silliam Longe, 1541, Elizabeth Whitbread, 1552,
Richard Lyncoln, 1545. It seems to me that he must have had sufficient
status to witness Sir William Longe's will; he is likely to have had some
relationship by blood or marriage to all of these people. Probably father
of:

Second Generation

Richard Tootill, of Woodford, co Northampton, born abat 1530, m
Elizabeth _____. Wayne Barnes identifies her as Elizabeth Lyncoln.
Source? Price has he d 1587/88 Woodford. Sam has he d 1589/90 in
Peterborough. Jacobus cited his will for March 1589 as the date of his
death. I infer there might have been more than one Richard Tootill.
Jacobus has him supervised will of Richard Beare of Woodford, 3 Nov 1579,
witness will of Elizabeth Lyncoln, 1556. Atleast we know there were
Lyncolns around, and again, they were probably closely related to the
Tuttle family.

Children: (from his will)

Symon, about 1560 Ringstead d 1630.
Anthony d Petersborough age 23.
Elizabeth d in her 30's, apptly unm.
Ellen d in her 30's, apptly unm. (no marriage mentioned, only date death.)
Mary d unm in Peterborough, age 27.
Frances d age 21.
Thomas ~1564 - bef 1640.

In view of the dysfunctional family dynamics and serious mental illness of
later family members, I question why so many daughters of this family
failed to marry? This was very unusual in that time. Remember, Charlemagne
refused to allow his daughters to marry because he was very possessive of them!
This is also consistent with my own father's behavior. Such behavior real
consistent with that of William of Connecticut. The shyness and poor self-
esteem of even a mild mood disorder could also explain it, though in that time,
problems of temperament did not often interfere with women marrying.

Third Generation

Thomas Tootill, d abt 1640 will dated 14 Jun 1639, proved 12 Dec
1640, he lived in Holcott and then in Woodford, both in County
Northampton. He married Anne ____. The stuff I put about him on this page
yesterday was a mistake; the people I named as his wife and children were
Richard's (the father of Simon). His will names 3 sons and makes his
second son, Robert, executor with his wife, Jacobus thinks because his son
John was the John Tuttle of the Planter who was married to Joan Antrobus
Lawrence and died in Carrickfergus, Ireland. Jacobus bases that on the
fact that this John was teh right age to have been the John Tuttle, and on
the mistaken belief, based on White's papers, that Simon had no son named
John.

Symon b Engl D Engl
John bapt Holcot 4 Jun 1596
Robert b abt 1598 or bef 18 Mar 1598/99, Holcott, Northampton, bapt
18 Mar 1598/99 in HOlcott, d Engl
Abigail bapt 24 Nov 1628 d young abt 1631

These baptisms and their place and dates all from Jacobus, who says that
Thomas lived first in Holcott and then in Woodford, which would explain
why his children were born in Holcott, though I don't have a source on how
he knows this, and he appears to cite Dawes-Gates as his source on the
children's baptisms.

I don't know if these dates and the place are based on confusion with John
who is actually the son of Simon, who was really baptized in Holcott, on 4
June 1596, according to Greene! That John also had no brother named
Robert, who, it appears, was bapt in Holcot, too! Atleast, not named in
Simon's will. One would think the baptismal record identified the parents.
But I gather that neither Jacobus nor Greene have seen the baptismal
record of this John christened in Holcot. Since it appears not many of the
Tuttle family lived in Holcot, this supports John of the Planter was
Thomas's son. Unless the confusion comes in at the point of which John
Tuttle went to Hertfordshire and married Joan Antrobus Lawrence!

Simon Totill or Towtills of Ringstead, co Northampton, b abt 1560,
buried Ringstead, 6/15/1630, married abt 1592, Isabel Wells, b abt 1565,
dau of John Wells of Ringstead, who mentioned her in his will, 1618.
Symon mentioned in both his father's will and his father in law's', whose
will also named all four Tuttle grandsons (or rather, four of five of
them, he left out John). Simon Tuttle supervised will of Mathew Harris of
Woodford in 1600. His widow accompanied her sons on the Planter in 1635,
but probably didn't live long. See Simon Tuttle's will
at Sam Casey's web site. Simon Tuttle was a very well -off man (though not on
the same level of well off as my Noyes ancestors, who had advanced into the
gentry), with much property and possibly a fair number of sheep. Gene Curtin
mentions that the College of Arms was cited as the source for Simon's children
by a family historian ordinarily skeptical of noble ancestry claims, from which
he infers that Simon Totill had the right to bear a coat of arms. (A well off
yeoman could qualify for a coat of arms.) The catalogue of his property from his will reads:

land he gave his son Richard, with land, meadows, and commons, and the
house and other buildings, where he and his wife live.

land, meadows and commons which he bought from Thomas Holding and Edward
Asin alias James and of William Sillyman.

the dwelling house where Mr. Wrothfall now lives with all the houses that
belong to it, and adjoining yard and orchard. John White lived there or
held it too, at some point.

the meadow which he purchased from Joane Bateman widow, apparently a large
meadow, since he divied it up among his family.

(William had inherited 20 pounds from his grandfather, John Welles.)

a meadow he bought from Eusache Morton and Thomas Ekins.

a bedstead adn furniture, a table in the hall with a frame, "framed
stools", more than one chimney in his house, good brass pans, a great
cubboard, more than two chairs some of them large, a chest by the bed.

a malt mill

sheep. Half a dozen of them to a specific family member, the others to be
divided.

one acre of "leyres" which he purchased from Mr. Carier. Could be
something to do with the sheep.

Atleast thirty-five pounds. Plus 2(xxs) to be given to the church, the
poor, etc.

John Wells' will indicates that he was atleast as well of, perhaps a bit
wealthier, than Simon Tuttle.

subsidy rolls indicate that John Wells or Weales, and Simon Totehill or
Symon Tootwell, of Rinsteed, were assessed for pieces of armor or
equipment and amounts of money, I forget what if anything that is supposed
to signify.

Children:

Richard (see below) William (see below) John (named in Simon's will,
possibly the individual below) Thomas (the Thomas I couldn't identify
with William b abt 1609 who I didn't know where he went yesterday were
Thomas teh son of Simon, and William Tuttle the emigrant - from Jacobus's
version. William was not known to be born in 1607, not 1609, until his
baptismal record was found at Ringstead. Simon of Burton Latimer, co
Northampton, buried 14 Dec 1630 at Burton Latimer, m by license (why,
significance?) Peterborough, dated, Mar 1616/17 Alice Jamse who was
bapt at Burton Latimer 30 Jan 1591/2 and bur there Jan 1623/4, dau of Wm
James. Simon m (2) Burton Latimer 26 Jun 1624, Katherine Brabooke, dau of
Richard and Joan Brabooke of Burton Latimer.

Fourth Generation

Richard b abt 1593 or 1595 Ringstead d Boston, MA 5/8/1640 m
Barnwell St Andrew, Co Northampton, 6/19/1622 Anne Taylor, b abt 1594.
Churchwarden of Ringstead 1626, 1629. Anne his wife remarried bef 1648,
Edward Holyoke. Previous marriage to Joan Grafton bef 1622. By his
second wife:

Simon (not on the list of baptisms, I don't know where he came from)
Ann/ Hannah b Jan 20, 1622/3 bapt Ringstead, Aug 23 1623. Jacobus
in 1952 said she m in England. In 1854 TAG Jacobus argues he
hadn't checked on that yet, it is she and not Ann the daughter
of William Tuttle who m John Pantry and Thomas Welles of Hartford
(no relation to the Wells of Ringstead and Woodford). ISsue by
atleast the Pantry; see Ann the daughter of William Tuttle.
John b Feb 12 1624/5 Ringstead d 3/31/1687 Rumney Marsh, MA m Mary
Holyoke, the dau of Edward and Prudence (Stockton) Holyoke.
? b 1627 d bef 1635 age 7 There is alot of confusion over this
child and a second Jonathan, from baptismal records. John may
or may not be the first Jonathan. There were five baptisms to
this family, and one illegible name on the baptismal register.
Atleast one child clearly died befroe the 1635 voyage because
not on the ship's list.
Rebecca b 1629 Ringstead Greene deduced that she, bapt Ringstead
27 May 1630, m Richard Shotswell, son of John, of Ipswich.

John b ca 1596 bapt Holcot, 4 June 1596, according to Greene,
who cites only Jacobus for his source on this baptismal record. The
question becomes, which John was bapt at Holcot in 1596, and also, why
would a child of Simon's have been baptized in Holcot? Jacobus cites Dawes
GAtes lines on that record, and Greene cites Jacobus; neither has seen the
baptismal record which surely would state whether the father of this John
and also of Robert Tuttle christened two years later, was Thomas, or
Simon. Greene thinks that John was the brother of William and Richard and
not their first cousin, because Simon's will shows that, contrary to what
White and the College of Arms said, Simon DID have a son named John, who
he named in his will several times, and because, in a series of lawsuits
over the ownership and purported theft of a mare and her colt, Simon the
son of John, and John the son of Richard, referred to each other's parents
as aunt and uncle, and Greene thinks these terms had the same meaning then
that they do now. One strange thing I notice from the Ringstead records as
presented in these articles is that of all the children of Simon, ONLY
William was christened at Ringstead, and from what Greene shows, Simon
appeared in the subsidy roles tehre only in 1604/5 though John Wells
consistently appeared in them through 1618, though Simon was buried in
Ringstead. But William appears to have been a younger son of Simon's,
quite possibly his youngest. John settled in Ipswich, MA, and then in
1651 returned to England and settled in Carrickfergus, Ireland, and died
there 12/30/1656. He left a will that named his sons and that was burned
in a fire. Married in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, ca 1627, Joan (Antrobus)
Lawrence, widow of Thomas Lawrence. she bapt 6/25/1592, St. Albans,
Hertfordshire. Why did John marry in Hertfordshire? (This notion
from Karen Price, Sam Behling, and Gene Curtin.) Her ancestry in
Antrobus Pedigrees. Supposed to be also in Gene Curtin's pages - but that
link doesn't work. Jacobus says he lived in Hertfordshire for some years,
doesn't say why or how we know this, and that he met Joan there, and that
her parents were Walter and Joan (Arnold) Antrobus. His wife wrote oddly
both that John never was sick until the day he died, and that he died of
"grife that he hath taken for his to sons hath brought upon him a lingring
deseas lost his stomuch and pined away." (Records and Files 2:173).
He was disappointed with them for not forwarding money they had collected for
him. It is consistent with depression. His wife died after 1/29/1660.

John (a mercer), came in 1635 on the Planter, w Joan his wife, JOhn,
William, Maria Lawrence, Abigail, Simon and Sara Tuttell, their children.
A merchant, had large dealings w London merchants. Their children married
into the first families of the colony. (This from George Frederick
Tuttle) From Jacobus, his Antrobus mother in law was on the ship, too.

Most of these web pages have John, Richard, and William with their mother
on the Planter, in 1635, to Massachusetts.

Their youngest son, Simon, b bef 1/10/1630/1 St. Albans, Hertfordshire
(Price) m 1659, Joan Burnham, 1663, Sarah Cogswell,
and lived in Ipswich, d Jan 1692.
Sarah b 1632 St. Albans d aft 4/18/? She m Richard Martin, Boston,
Suffolk, 1 Feb 1653/4 (Any relation to Martins of Salem Village?)

The following is actually William Tuttle, son of Simon, b 1607, as follows
- from Jacobus. I previously had trouble placing who this was. More people
than me think that this is two separate people, because peoples' web pages
have a separate and distinct William b abt 1609 placed in various places
on the family tree. Greene explains that before William Tuttles baptismal
record was found that shows him born in 1607, he was thought to have been
born in about 1609. The date and place of death makes it clear that this
is the same William Tuttle as William the son of Simon.

- William b abt 1609, d in New Haven, CT, 1673, m Elizaabeth
b England abt 1609-12, d New Haven, 12/30/1684, aged 76 (gravestone).
Settled in Boston, MA, where his wife joined the church 1636. He moved
to New Haven in 1639, early enough to be an initial signer of the
agreement that created it.

William Tuttle b 24 Dec 1607 Ringstead, Northamptonshire, England,
bapt Ringtead, Northamptonshire England 26 Dec 1607. d New Haven, CT Jun
1673. Married Elizabeth ____. Quite a number of these web sites identify
her as Elizabeth Mathews, none of them say where they got it, I am
suspicious because as you can see above, Elizabeth Mathews is the name of a
woman who married the much earlier William Tuttle, sheriff and lord mayor in
Devonshire, she daughter of a Welsh aristocrat. He d New Haven, CT, 30 Dec 1684.

He had an estate rated for 450 (pounds, shillings?) well above average
size, his name often appears in records as busied in small affairs of the
town, on committees and boards of arbitration, but never elected to
public office or ran for public office. Fined in 1646 for falling asleep
on the watch.

He went to Boston 1645, w first three children, in Boston to 1639, twomore
children, to Davenport 1639, one of first signers of orignl compact that
founded Conne4cticut. (Price has Elizabeth b 1645 Ringstead, Simon b
1641 New Haven, Simon, Benjamin and Mercy b 1647-50 New Haven. Nathaniel
b 1651 Ringstead.

William was much employed in public affairs. Titled "Mr." . Wealthy for his
times. All of his sons and daughters married into the first families of
the day.

Elizabeth may have been related to Robert Hill or to his first wife; they
tried to get custody of the youngest stepchild from the second wife after
her husband died, and she didn't particularly seem to want the child.

The following children, as well as marriages to John Pantry and to a
Wells, are traditionally attributed to this Ann/ Hannah. But Greene
argues that these two marriages and these children belong to Hannah
the daughter of Richard Tuttle, William's brother.

Greene argues that this Ann married (1) Joshua Judson of Stratford
and (2) John Hurd jr of Stratford and Woodbury, and had issue by
both. I think it is traditionally believed that Hannah the daughter
of Richard made these marriages. Greene argues that:

Ann Tuttle married William Hurd around 1654-5, which is consistent
with the age of Ann the daughter of William, who was baptized in
1633, and that this would make the births of her children end when
she was around 40.

In Woodbury land records, record of ___ Hurd in Woodbury, he calls
Nathaniel Tuttle his uncle, and Nathaniel was the youngest son of
William, and that in a listing of Tuttle's land, "Ebenezer Hurd" is
referred to as Nathaniel Tuttle's cousin.

Elizabeth Tuttle the wife of William called John Hurd their son, and
atleast one of her children referred to Hurd's as brothers and sisters
(meaning in-law).

These arguments are pretty convincing.

His religious sentiments and feelings were strictly evangelical
He warmly approved of the revival of 1740, and exerted himself
to promote it. This got him dismissed from his first church, which
became Episcopal. He would shake his large white wig at children
who made mistakes in their (Calvinistic) Westminster Catechism. He
went to study the Revival at Stockbridge, prob on advice of a close
friend of Pres. Edwards. (I don't know if Rev. Jonathan Edwards or
related to him.) He returned and established a prayer meeting, at
which half his congregation rebelled and left.
Susanna Todd b 12/8/1718 m Caleb HUMISTON She made a confession of
faith, recounted the wickedness of her rebellion against God,
and credited the role of counsels of Rev. Mr. Tiles and the death
of an aunt in her conversion. In other words, she found Jesus and
was Born Again - as all Puritan young people in New England were
expected to do. When that happened they were finally admitted to
the Church. This connected with her brother's record.

7. Sarah b 4/1642 m John Slauson 11/22/1663 d 11/17/1676
She was murdered by her brother, Benjamin, who chopped her head
apart with an axe, during a quarrel. Possibly it was about their
dead father's considerable property; he said "he was afraid whe would
do to him what he had done to her", whatever that meant. Her children
testified that he came into her house carrying an axe and repeatedly
struck her head with it, saying something about "I will teach you to
Scold" and something they couldn't understand.
Before this time, Sarah was a flirt, repeatedly in trouble for making out.
In 1660, William Tuttle Sarah's father complained against Sarah and
Jacob Murline for kissing and making out on a storage chest. The law
provided for a fine aganist anyone who drew the attentions of a maid or
maid servant without the permission of her parents, master, or guardians.
This was not often enforced; William Tuttle was one of the few who went
to such lengths of thinking they owned their children! "Mr. Tuttle pleaded
that Jacob had endeavored to steal away his daughter's affections." (SAm
Behling) The governor reported that Sarah had flirted and made out
with Jacob in his house at a wedding. The court fined either of them
20 shillings, characterized their behavior as sinful and evil and
Sarah's as bold, ordered both of them to mend their ways, and ordered
Jacob to stay away from virgins. It seems Sarah's mother had told her
not to keep company with him.

Elizabeth had a premarital affair with her husband, and also with
another man, such that there was doubt about who was the father of her
first child. There was a lawsuit, and Elizabeth and Richard were
fined for sleeping together before marriage, and Richard was found
to be the father. In any case, there was trouble concerning Elizabeth
caring for the child, and her father ended up raising it. Elizabeth
for some reason refused to sleep with her husband for years, resulting
in an at first unsuccessful bid to divorce her. For one thing, he
wanted to marry Mary Talcott, who had been fined for fornication with
him. At his second effort, Richard argued that he was afraid of
Elizabeth. "It became clear that Elizabeth herself was, at times, not in
her right mind, and often threatened to murder her husband while he was
asleep." Richard was granted the divorce, married Mary Talcott, and had
six children. Nothing further is known of Elizabeth.

REV. JONATHAN EDWARDS b 10/5/1703 m 1727 Sarah Pierpoint

"In person he was tall, slender and slightly stooping, his face, very pale
and somewhat wasted, wore an aspect of singular refinement and
dignity; his manner calm and gentle; he spoke very little. He lamented
his awkward address and unimposing presence "I have a constitution,"
he says,"in many respects peculiarly unhappy, attended with flaccid solids
and vapid sizy and scarce fluids, and a low tide of spirits; often
occasioning a childish weakness and contempatableness of speech, presence
and demeanor and a disagreeable dullness and stiffness much unfitting me
for conversation."

In other words, the man had clinical depression.

Edwards had a distinctly intuitive, emotion charged, mystical approach to
religion and way of knowing and experiencing God. Struggling through his
teenage years and young manhood with his sense of sinfulness and
objections to the dark horror of the doctrine of predestination, according
to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, "though he gradually worked through his
intellectual objections, it was only with his conversion ...that he came to
a 'delightul conviction' of divine sovereignty, to a 'new sense' of God's
glory revealed in Scripture and in nature. This became the centre of
Edwards' piety: a direct, intuitive apprehension of God in all his glory,
a sight and taste of Christ's majesty and beauty far beyone all 'notional'
understanding, immediately imparted to the soul by 'a divine and
supernatural light.' This alone confers worth on man, and in this consists
his salvation. What such a God does must be right; hence, Edwards' "cosmic
optimism". The acceptance and affirmation of God as he is and does and the
love of God simply because he is God became central motifs in all Edwards'
preaching."

Edwards described more about his own intensely emotion-driven mentality
than the nature of free will when he wrote in "Freedom of Will, "The
will...is not a separate, self-determining faculty with power to act
contrary to the strongest motives, as he understood the Arminians
(Calvinistic rebels against predestination) to teach. Rather, it is
identical with feelings or preference, and a volition is simply the soul's
'prevailing inclination' in action; the will 'is as the greatest apparent
good.' Men are free to do as they please, and God therefore rightly holds
them morally responsible for the quality of their volitions as expressions
of their desires and intentions."

How does this make sense? Remember, Edwards believed in predestination.
God decided at the beginning of time on a small number of people
who would be saved, not according to any thing about those people, but
only because it pleased God to do so.
Peoples' emotional bent was not their own doing, but that of God.
"...a saving knowledge of God and spiritual things is possible only to
those who have received the gift of the 'new sense'. This grace is
independent of human effort and is 'irresistible', for the perception of
God's beauty and goodness that it confers is in its very nature a glad
'consent'. Neverthless, God decrees conversion and a holy life as well
as ultimate felicity; and he has so constituted things that 'means of
grace' (eg sermons, sacraments, even the fear of hell) are employed by the
Spirit in conversion, though not as proper causes" of such. Thus the
predestinarian preacher could appeal to the emotions and wills of men."

If that looks like circular reasoning, well,the notion of predestination
is hardly at all logical.

From Kathryn VanSpanckeren, An Outline of American Literature: Early
America and Colonial Period to 1776:

"Edwards was molded by his extreme sense of duty and by the rigid Puritan
environment, which conspired to make him defend strict and gloomy
Calvinism from the forces of liberalism springing up around him. He is
best known for his frightening, powerful sermon, "Sinners in the Hands
of an Angry God".

"'If god should let you go, you would immediately sink, and sinfully
descend, and plunge into the bottomless gulf... the God that holds you
over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider or some loathsome insect
over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked...he looks upon you
as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the bottomless gulf.'"

This looks eerily like possibly more was wrong with Edwards than he was
depressed and frankly admitted that the above was pretty much atleast one
side of how he felt about himself. It is the style of someone with
dysphoric hypomania, a mild form of mania. It goes on and on, the length,
the anger and the wording are excessive, it is imaginatively elaborate,
and it conveys excessive and cold irritability and anger, and it contains
the fire and ice quality typical of mania.

"Edwards's sermons had enormous impact, sending whole congregations into
hysterical fits of weeping. In the long run, though, their grotesque
harshness alienated people from the Calvinism that Edwards valiently
defended. Edwards's dogmatic, medieval sermons no longer fit the
experiences of relatively peaceful, prosperous 18th century colonists."

Edwards was a key theologian and leader of "the Great Awakening". He
criticized some of its excesses, but supported it wholeheartedly, often
preached in its style, thought it was "a genuine work of God, which needed
to be furthered and purified".

The affairs of the Tuttle family during this period demonstrate some of
the tensions of the transforming society. The slow death of medieval social
organization is also exemplified by tensions over the creation of the town
of Sudbury Massachusetts in the 1630's, and by the Salem witch trials in
1692, where the feudal way of life of the Salem villagers confronted the
developing Capitalism around them. In the mid to late 18th century the Tuttle
family were not changing as quickly as people around them. They had a natural
affinity for the medieval social order. The Tuttles were an emotionally
intense family with a feudal temperament and genetic tendency to mental
illness, and they adhered to feudal ways of thinking and religious practices longer than did most people.

Aee above where Samuel Todd, brother of my direct line ancestor Lydia Todd
(her mother was a Tuttle), also had problems that resulted from the gap
between his own theology and temperament, and that of the members of his
congregations.

Edwards' son, Jonathan Edwards, b 5/26/1745. a
Congregationalist
minister. "He was apparently austere and reserved, but
really mild and affectionate, though constitutionally
irritable. ...piercing eye and severe countenance, strongly
lined with thought,distant in manner and with no small talk.
In the pulpit too profound to be interesting or even under-
stood by ordinary minds. A portion of his preaching was
highly practical and sometimes irresistably impressive and
even terrible. He looked but little at his auditory and
seemed consequently to be dealing in abstractions.
Nevertheless he was uttering great and profound thoughts,
and those capaable of understanding admired his genius."

10. Benjamin b bef 10/29/1648 New Haven, CT d CT 6/13/1677 age 28.
"Died"? Hmmm. I like the way genealogies omit information. He was
tried, convicted, and executed for murdering his sister with an axe.
He came into her house one evening, and, in front of her children sitting
at the table, beat her on the head with an axe while saying something only
partially intelligible about "I'll teach you to scold!"

11. Mercy b 1650 m 5/2/1667 Samuel Brown, sonof Francis and Mary EDWARDS
Brown She was accused at age 14 of stealing and drinking liquor. She
chopped her 17-year-old (?) son, Samuel Jr, to death with an axe as he lay
in his bed. Her husband said she had seemed rational, but the day before,
she said she would have the children buried in the barn, because "dreadful
times are coming". He said she had "slept but little for two or three
nights before". Joseph Brown, age 24, testifed that she had thrown
scalding water at him and he thought her "much out of her head". Mercy's
sister Simon Tuttle and his wife thought she had seemed distracted "that
morning and before". Mary Moss testified that "Mercy came to their house
a little before the sad accident and wished Mr. Moss to look after her
husband". Neighbors testified they had come to her house for fire and
when she came out with it, she went down the hill towards the swamp
seeming distracted. In jail, she seemed distracted, seemed much grieved
at having given offense to someone who knew nothing of it. Those who took
her to New Haven for trial testified that she seemed "shaken in her
understanding". Though her attorney pleaded insanity, the jury found her
guilty, and the judge sentenced her to die. It wasn't a popular verdict,
the town felt she should be exonerated on the basis of insanity. But
confusion resulting over the removal of the governor from his office
allowed Mercy to escape execution.

TODD

Todd Scottish word for fox. All Todds originally came from Scotland. Nine
distinct and seemingly unrelated Todd families in America. Three from
Scotland; the New York Toddds, the Suffield, Ct Tods, and (probably) the
Philadelphia Tods. Three came from North Ireland, the Maryland todds, the
New Hampshire Todds, and the Pennsylvania Todds; Three form England, the
Massachusetts Todds, the New Haven, Connecticut Todds, and the Virginia
todds. Of the last three the first two came from the Republican or
Puritan Party, and the last from the royalist or Church of England party.
The Virginia Todds were of the highest social rank.

The Irish Todds originally named O'Shaughagh, Irish for fox, complelled
the Irish to assume English names, the famialy changed its name, the
Leinster branch tok name Fox and the northern, Todd, or Wolfson, corrupted
into Wilson. A portion of the Irish Todds are of Irish origin, all others
are Scotch.

Abraham LIncoln's Todd wife was of Scotch-Irish stock via Pennsylvania.

Some of the English Todds changed their name to Fox, so the Todds and the
Foxes belong to the same stock and have alwys borne the same arms. The
Todds settled first in Yorkshire,

John Todde high sheriff of York in 1390. Sir William tod high sheriff in
1477, Lord mayor ten years later. Rev Robert Todd, a dissenting minister
of Leeds. "During the great plague 'he preached repeatedly and
impressively on Hezekiah's boil.'" Sir Wm Todd High Sheriff of York under
Charles I in 1625.

In this country three distinct famlies of Yorkshire Todds. Thomas Todd
settled in Virginia, whence his descendants spread into Kentucky.

Second family from John Todd, came to Charleston MA in 1637, two yrs later
settled Rowley, MA. Known only he came from Yorkshire. Found in MA, Vt,
and the West.

Third family from Christopher Todd, one of original settlers of the New
Haven colony in Connecticut in 1639. from Pontefract, Yorkshire.

William Todd m Isabel Rogerson in old parish church in Pontrefract, West
Riding, Yorkshire. (church register). 9/24/1592.

Had:
William bapt 6/29/1593
John bapt 10/18/1594

John Warde and Isabell Bruster m 7/22/1593

They had:
Mary bapt 10/15/1614
Christopher bapt 1/12/1617

William Todd buried5/8/1617.

John who became a prominent citizen in Rowley, MA, having first been to
Charleston, MA, was brother to Christopher's father William, and m Alice
Clayton o f Bradford, York Co, England, had John, m in 1643, Sussanna
Hunt, b Bradford, Co of Yourk, 1621.

Their son William Todd m Katharine Ward. William "'was killed in sort of
a duel'" when Christopher was an infant. Christopher married Grace
Middlebrook,sailed with Davenport Company; they were wealthy merchants.
Mr. Davenport apparently an eminent Puritan minister. Formed Winnipiac;
New Haven colony. BEcame a farmer, miller and
baker. Seems at first one of the less prominent colonists. Signed General
Agreeement modestly with his mark. His seat in the meeting house was in a
regular seat, not a dignified one. Soon he bought a grist mill.
He steadily acquired land. He died April 1686 at age 69,.

Had:

minister at Waterbury, CT, pastor at Plymoth 1766, Lanesborough,
organized First Church at Adams, MA and remained there until
1788, moved to Orford NH, died there.
"He possessed a mind of more than ordinary strength, and great decision of
character. His religious sentiments and feelings were strictly
evangelical. The revivals of 1740, he warmly approved and exerted himself
to promote." This got him dismissed from Northbury; that church became
Episcopalian. "I shall not forget how he used to shake his large white
wig when any of my good mothers little flock made a mistake in the old
Westminster Catechism."

of applying himself to anything else as teh business of his life, but

There were more FTM and aol pages on the Tuttles - but they weren't
loading on my computer last night, and I think something was wrong with
AOL!

These pages differ in the placement of certain Tuttles in the family,
especially John who married Joan Antrobus Lawrence, went to Boston and
died in Carrickfergus, Ireland, and in the identities of the Elizabeth's
who the Tuttles married. For some reason, most Tuttle men married
Elizabeth's. The placement of John Tuttle is controversial; two principal
recent writers on the Tuttles, Jacobus and Greene, disagree, and the
evidence slightly favors David Greene.

Print sources:

Jacobus. Hale, House, and Related Families. 1952. pp 770-2. His work is
based mostly on a manuscript, written about 1910, of family history by the
late Alain C. White, and taken to England, where the English lines, which
include the ancestry of William Tuttle, were approved by the College of
Arms. Also material in assorted genealogies of other families, partic

Devonshire Tuttles

This is an old an inaccurate version of the Tuttle family history. I include it for completeness.

Tothills of Devon (forward in George Frederick Tuttle's Tuttles in
America)

This turns out to be a different Tuttle family. George Frederick Tuttle
thought it was the family of William and Elizabeth Tuttle of Connecticut.

William Totyl, first known of branch. Pedigree from Meyrick's Heraldic
Visitations of Wales, Vol 1, p 183, dated 10/24/1591, receivedfrom
RychardTottyll.

William Totyl, Esq, of Devonshire, bailiff in 1528, 1548,high sheriff of
Devon in 1549, Lord Mayor of Exeter 1552. Exeter was then political
capital ofthe Westofengland, second only to London in importance. 10,000
people in time of Charles I. Captal of Devonshire. He is supposed to
have had 36 children "probably not all by the same wife". He was probably
a man of considerable estate. His wife in the pedigree is Elizabeth
Mathew of Vorganwg, mother of Geoffrey, John, Robert, Richard, maybe
others. Daughter of Geoffrey Mathew of Glamorganshire, which some Welsh
genealogists have traced back to Gwathwed, Prince of Cardigan and Gwent,
while others think it from Yorkelyne. Burke in Landed Gentry says the
anme was of considerable distinction in Corwall and Devon at an early
date. Of this oline was SirDavid Mathew of Llandaff, "Great Standard
Bearer". others who took a leading part under his maternal relations, Sir
Richard and Sir Bevil Granville, in the civil war in the west of England,
George Mathew, high sheriff of Glamorganshire, 1592, who married, 1620,
Elizabeth, Visoutess Thurbes, mother of James, Duke of Ormond.

Of the supposed 36 children of William Tothill, 12 are known, order not
certain.

1. Joan, m John HUlse son of Richard and Joan (Whitlegh) Hulse
Arthur Grenville, d 1653,m Dorothy, dau of Richard Boyle, Lord
