Hi, William.
John Tuttle appears in the Banks book as coming from St. Albans,
Hertfordshire on the Planter and settling in Ipswich. The source given is a
manuscript in College of Arms, London.
There are also a number of John Tuttles in "Directory of the Ancestral Heads
of New England Families 1620-1700" compiled by Frank R. Holmes.
TUTTLE, TUTTEL, TUTHILL
From the ancient tothills of England, meaning "Hill of God." Locally, a town
in Caernarvon, Wales, near the coast. From word Tuthill, signifying a conical
hill, the name being given in early times to a number of locations in
England. The permanent seat of the family was in Devonshire, Eng. William
Totyl was Lord Mayor of Exeter, 1552.
JOHN, merchant, b. Eng. 1596, came to Ipswich, Mass. from St. Albans parish,
Hertfordshire, Eng., 1635, returned England, 1652, died Carrickfergus,
Ireland, Dec. 30, 1656.
JOHN, came from Saxlingham, county of Norfolk, Eng., to Boston, Mass., 1635,
removed New Haven, Conn. 1639, thence Southold, L.I., 1641.
JOHN, b. Eng., 1618, came N.E., 1635, settled Dover, N.H., 1640, died 1662.
JOHN, freeman, Boston, Mass., 1690.
JONATHAN, freeman, Boston, Mass., 1690.
I hope this clears up some of the mystery.
