Daniel Tuttle served as a soldier in the company of Captain Shipman of the Connecticut Militia. He appears on the Roll of that Company, dated 23 September 1777.
We believe Daniel descends from William and Elizabeth Tuthill, who arrived on The Planter in Salem/Watertown Massachusetts in 1635 from Gravesend, England. They migrated with their family to Connecticut, likely Hartford or New Haven, in 1641.
Daniel, son of Daniel Tuttle and Mercy Bristow of Newtown, Connecticut, was baptized in the New Canaan Congregational Church in New Canaan, Connecticut on 7 October 1733. His parents were among the early members of that Church, also founded in 1733, who transferred their memberships from Stamford and Norwalk, Connecticut to form the new Church. Daniel married first on 19 August 1773 in Ridgefield, Connecticut to Naomi Stevens of Newtown. His second marriage was to Abigail Penoyer of Stamford, Connecticut. They were married in Salem, Westchester Co, New York on 31 August 1800. It is reported that Daniel and his first wife Naomi had six children, three boys, and three girls. Daniel and Abigail had only one child, Samuel P. Tuttle, born in 1801 in New Canaan.
We have no accurate data on when Daniel Tuttle died or where he is buried. We do know he was still living in New Canaan at the time he made a pension declaration on 9 April 1818. His second wife Abigail died on 25 July 1851 and is buried in the Church Hill Cemetery in New Canaan.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
