There has been a lot of confusion, speculation, theorizing about exactly who Thomas's and Mary's descendants are. Our list has been made up from, say, a combination of "noteworthy viewpoints!" As hard as we strive for accuracy, in this instance, we claim only that we've come as close to accuracy as possible. We sincerely hope that our viewpoints are helpful to you. |

for the southern branch of Tuttles. Interesting historic anecdote: In the waning days of the Civil War, Union General Stoneman and his army passed through Stokes Co., NC ("Stonemans Raid"), on the way to liberate Union prisoners of war at the notorious prison in Salisbury, NC. Passing by the Tuttle farms, soldiers basically took everything that wasn't nailed down and destroyed most everything that was ... shot the weathervane on the barn, it was badly bent and shot full of holes, but still standing, I believe to this day. This was just over a week before the surrender at Appomattox, at which there were two Tuttles of this lineage present, who, with Lee took the oath of allegiance, were well fed by the Union command and allowed to go home to Danbury and Germanton. I live just a few miles east of the original colonial land grant (of 150 acres on the Town Fork and Red Bank creeks) to Thomas Tuttle in the 1760's. The local regiment for the Confederacy was the NC 21st, Company F, the "Town Fork Invinceables." They were first at Bethel, furthest at Gettysburg (John Tuttle killed there), and last at Appomattox. The company suffered 75% casualty rate. Four Tuttles died in that war, all but one of disease. Hope you enjoyed the brief history! |
