On 2 April 1635, thirty-eight people were signed up by Nicholas Trarice, Master of the Planter, for passage to New England. They brought a certificate from the minister of St. Albans in Hertfordshire and an attestation from the Justices of peace. At the top of the list were:

This is the Tuttle family. John, a mercer from St. Albans, married the widow of Thomas Lawrence, Joan Antrobus. The first three children were the children of Joan's first husband. The Joan Antrobuss listed in the mother of Joan Lawrence Tuttle. (The families of John's brothers, Richard and William, were also aboard the Planter. The last passengers were enrolled on 11 April 1635, so the ship probably sailed soon after.[6] The ship arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on Sunday, 7 June 1635.[7]

The family settled in Ipswich were he became a proprietor and became a church member and took the freeman’s oath on 13 Mar. 1638/9.[8]

The town of Ipswich granted to “Mr John Tuttle ten acres of marsh towards the neck… also a planting lot upon Heartbreak Hill… also a parcel of meadow and upland, about twenty acres at Chebocky… likewise there was granted to him one hundred and fifty acres, about sixteen whereof are meadow… There was also granted to him an house lot on the south side the river about an acre and 20 rod”. On 16 Apr. 1638 the Boston selectman “granted leave to George Griggs to sell his house, and garden under it, and 20 acres of his great lot, to Mr Tuttell of Ipswich, and Mr. Tuttell of Charlestowne, for his redeeming out of their debts”. And on 27 July of that year “Richard Lumpkin hath sold unto John Tuttell… one house lot lying near the great cove of the Town River… also upon the said lot one dwelling house formerly built by Richard Browne now of Newbury, and by him hold unto Mr. Richard Saltonstall, by whom it was sold unto the said Richard Lumkin, also twenty-five acres upland and meadow, formerly granted to John Cross, and by him sold unto Mr. Apleton and by him to Mr Saltonstall, by whom it was also sold unto the said Richard Lumkin… also parcel of meadow ground lying at the Reedy Marsh, lately granted and laid out to the said Richard Lumkin, being about fifteen acres”. On 26 Sept. 1638 “whereas John Tuttell hath lately bought of Richard Lumkin one house lot, lying near the great cove beneath the falls of the Town River… also upon the said lot one dwelling house, formerly built by Richard Browne, now of Newbury… now the said John Tuttell hath… sold and alienated unto Reynold Foster all the said lot together with the said dwelling house together with all outhousing, gardens, fencing, together with all other the appurtenances unto the said house and lot, also… a planting lot, eight acres of land… lying upon Heartbreak Hill”.[9]

On 1 May 1640 he was a member of the committee to lay out “the roade ways for the countrey in behalf of Ipswich” between the towns of Rowley and Ipswich. In May 1642 he was also a member of the committee that reported to the Court about running the bounds between Cape Ann and Ipswich and in Mar. 1643 running the bounds between Salem and Ipswich. On 7 Mar. 1643/4 John was a representative to the General Court and in 1644 he became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company (which his son Simon also joined in 1651).[10] He was also on the jury in 1647 and 1648.[11] On 4 Nov. 1645 “Robert Heddersye, Mr Jonathan Wade and Mr Tuttell were each fined 5s for selling wine without a license”.[12]

On 25 Nov. 1642 “John Tuttell of the town of Ipswich… yeoman… do… sell… to Moses Pengry of the same town of Ipswich, saltmaker, all that certain parcel of upland and swamp containing by estimation eight acres.. it being part of that my five and twenty acre lot lately purchased of Richard Lumpkyn deceased as may appear by a deed bearing date the 27th of July 1638”.[13]

The notarial records of William Aspinwall of Boston shows that John was involved in numerous legal cases for people in the area acting as their attorney.[14] On 21 July 1649 “Mr John Winthrop husband of Elizabeth late wife of Nathaniell Longe late of Boston did constitute John Tuttle of Ipsw his true and lawful attorney… to call to account all persons whatsoever in Barbados… in whose hands any ther said goods, wares, &c. now be remaining”[15] This was in addition to his import business.

On 16 Feb. 1649/0 Articles of Agreement were signed between John, merchant of Boston, and William Stanley and Peter Legay, merchants of Southampton where Stanley and Legay were to send £1,200 of merchandise before the following March, which sum along with £25 profit on every £100 worth of goods was to be paid by John. The folks in Southampton would take orders for colonial products for delivery in England and in Barbados. In Nov. 1650 the Adventure reached Boston with orders from Stanley and Legay to accept merchandise from John for delivery to Barbados, however, John only had part of the order completed. “Wm Stanley & Peter Le Gay inhabitants & merchants of the town & county of Southampton in England… appoint… James Fauntleroy & Joseph Barton… of Southampton merchants & Daniel Bradley mariner & master of the ship called the Adventure of Southampton… attorneys to recover what is due them… according to the tenor of certain articles of covenants bearing date the 16th day of February… 1649 made between John Tuttle of New England in the parts of America & Peter le Gay & Company of the other party… as well as of and from the said John Tuttle & Joan his wife & John Gore of Roxbury in New England”. On 15 Nov. 1650 “before me Wm Aspinwall, notary & tabellion public by authority of the General Court of the Massachusetts admitted & sworn, personally appeared Mr Joseph Barton & Mr. Daniel Bradley, attorneys to Mr Wm Stanley & Mr Peter le Gay, merchants of Southampton, as by their procuration dated 5th June 1650 under the hand of Rich Stanley notary public doth at large appear, which appearers required me the notary aforesaid to protest against Mr. John Tuttle of Boston merchant for nonperformance of certain covenants betwixt him & the said merchants bearing date the 16th Febuary 1649 the said Mr Tuttle being present & confessing he had not provided the full complement of goods according to agreement. Whereupon I the said notary at the instance of the said appearers & in their names & in the names of the said merchants of Southampton did protest & by these presents do protest against the said John Tuttle for his breach of covenant & for all damages, losses, & interests which the merchants aforesaid have sustained or further may sustain by reason thereof”.[16]

On 28 Dec. 1650 John had “bills of ladeing abord the Adventure, Daniel Bradley, Mr” for 6 hogsheads and 22 barrels of mackerel, 1 hogshead and 23 barrels of beef and 40 kegs of sturgeon consigned for the use of John Woodward & Co. in Barbados, with a value of £174.10s. There was a second bill of lading at the same time on the Dolphin for 31 barrels and 18 hogsheads of goods, 30 small barrels of oysters, 64 ‘kint” of bass, 5 tons of “shaken caske” (barrel staves) and 5 bundles of hoops valued at £167.20s. [17] In June 1650 John had received on the Swallow of London two bales, containing 30 pieces of dressed broadcloth.[18]

On 1 Mar. 1650/1 “articles of agreement… agreed upon between John Tuttell of Boston in New England… and Willm Stanly and Peter Legay… of Southampton, merchants… the first day of March… one thousand six hundred & fifty… whereas by certain articles of covenants bearing date the sixteenth day of February 1649 concluded & agreed upon between the said John Tuttell of the one part and the said Willm Stanley & Peter Legai & Company of the other part, it is covenanted between the said parties that the said Willm Stanley and Peter Legay & Company should furnish unto the said John Tuttell the value of twelve hundred pounds sterling in the City of London at or before the fifteenth day of March next following to be employed in goods & transported into New England at the adventure of the said Willm Stanley & Peter Legay and Company which said sum of money together with five & twenty pounds clear profit on every hundred pounds was to be paid by the said John Tuttell unto the assigns of the said Willm Stanley & Peter Legay & Company at Boston aforesaid such ship or ships as they should appoint at or before the fifteenth day of November then next following… and whereas the said Willm Stanley and Peter Legay & Company did pay and furnish unto the said John Tuttle the said sum of twelve hundred pounds… but the said John Tuttle hath failed in payment of the sum of four hundred fourscore & seven pounds five shillings & six pence… now the said John Tuttell agrees to pay at the now dwelling house of the said John Tuttell situate & being in Boston in New Engloand… the sum of two hundred pounds in silver coin or money current in New England within thirty days next after the same shall be demanded with interest… the said John Tuttell doth further covenant & promise to deliver… goods, merchandises & provisions… within thirty days next after the said demand to the full worth and value of two hundred fourscore & seven pounds five shillings & six pence… if John Tuttle is unable to fulfill the terms of the second article, he must within ten days give written notice and then pay the stated amount in silver coin, with interest… John Tuttle shall save, defend & keep harmless the said Willm Stanley & Peter Legay from any damages… for the further securing of the said sum of four hundred fourscore & seven pounds five shillings six pence John Tuttle mortgages to his creditors all that his messuage or house & lands containing one hundred & forty acres… being in Ipswich… now in the occupation of the said John Tuttle, John Gage & John Pittis… with all other his lands & tenements with the appurtenances in New England aforesaid for the full time & term of fourscore & nineteen years… the said John Tuttell doth by these present bind himself… in the sum of one thousand pounds for the performance of these articles… if the said John Tuttell… do well & truly satisfy the terms of these articles as well as the agreement of 16 Feb. 1649.. then this agreement shall be void… John Tuttle may hold use and enjoy the house and lands aforesaid… & take the rents, issues & profits of the same.”[19] On 30 Dec. 1651 “John Gore attorney for Mr Willm Stanley and Mr Peter Legay & Company do acknowledge to have received full satisfaction from Mr John Tuttle… further I do hereby acquit & discharge the mortgage of John Tuttells house & land at Ipswich”.[20]

John sailed to Southampton and then to Carrickfergus, Ireland in 1651 where he was employed in some capacity with the Irish Treasury. Joan stayed in Massachusetts and handled his business affairs here along with their nephew John Tuttle of Rumley Marsh (Chelsea). John had given his son-in-law, Thomas Burnham, £11 worth of merchandise prior to his leaving which was to have been paid in malt, however, this payment had been delayed and Thomas had to borrow the money to give to Joan prior to her departure. Joan paid off Stanley and Legay by 13 May 1652 and had rented their property to her nephew Richard Shatswell on 18 Mar. 1653/4 who agreed to rent the Tuttle farm and have the use of the farm animals paying £24 per year: “Joanna Tuttell being attorney to her husband, Mr John Tuttell, now living in Ireland… leased… to… Richard Shatswell… her house and land at Ipswich… the dwelling house, barns, orchard and outhouses of said Tuttell, also all her meadow, marsh and broken up ground within the common fence”. On 3 Oct. 1656 Joan wrote from Carrickfergus to “my dear & loving daughter Jane Gidding at Ipswich”. She referred to her last letter from Feb. and asked to “hear how your breach is made up in respect of the ministry which I long to hear, if you have Mr. Cobete I pray present my love to him and tell him I live under a very honest man where I enjoy the ordinance of God in New England way… I hear Richard Sachwell hath paid no rent, I pray speak to him and get it £48, send me word what increase there is of our mare and whether Thomas Bornum have groundsilled the house or not… Simon deals very bad with his father, he lies at Barbados and sends not returns but spends all, his father will have no more goods sent to him, I could wish I had no such cause to write, I think he & John intends to undo their father.”[21]

On 25 Mar. 1662 Simon Tuttle sued Richard Shatswell for nonpayment of rent (Richard abandoned the property after the expiration of the lease and the buildings and fences rapidly decayed.)[22] Joan arranged to have her son-in-law George Giddings and Joseph Jewett manage the business affairs and she sailed for Ireland. [23]

On 6 Apr. 1657 she wrote to “Her Loving Sone Giding and dauter dwelling in Ips” from Carrickfergus saying that “these are to let you understand that the Lord hath taken to himself my dear husband & left me desolate in a strange land and in debt by reason of Simans keeping the returns from Barbadous, grife that he hath taken for his two sons hath brought upon him a lingering deseas lost his stomach and pined away never sick till the day before he died which was the 30th of December. I pray talk with Mr Jeuett about that which I left with you & him this 3 years. I have not heard of anything that he hath done I cannot hear of the cattle nor what increase the mare hath nor the rent. I pray let things be ready for I have writ to John Lawrence to take them into his hands. If Simon or John should ome let not them meddle with anything there, my husband hath given them something in his will which I shall pay them, now I will keep the estate in my own hand as long as I live. It may be I may see New England again. I pray look to my house that it be not ruined. Hanna is to be married shortly to a good husband, one that lover her well and a handsome man”.[24] The “grife” was by their conduct as they had disappointed John by not forwarding money which they had collected and was due him.[25] On 20 Mar. 1657/8 Joan wrote from Carrickfergus to “her beloved son Mr George Gidding at Ipswich” and said that “I wonder I hear nothing from Mr Juete. I hear he improves my estate to his own advantage. I prayed him to pay my son Martain £12 in good goods and he let him have nothing but beef that none else would take. I pray you to take care of my estate at Ipswich and let not him do what he list but take account of what he doth. There is 4 years rent this March which comes to above a hundred pound… I am to remove again 16 miles nearer my son that married my daughter Hannah, he hath the employment that my husband was in the treasury, is removed to another town… If I should come to New England I fear I should go abegging if reports be true my estate decays apace for want of looking to… I pray send no goods to Simon. I hear that of him which will bring my gray head with sorrow to the grave.”[26]

Poor Joan! John’s will dated 7 Dec. 1656 was filed at the Four Courts in Dublin and was destroyed during the Black & Tan War.[27]

On 29 Mar. 1659 “George Giddinge and Mr Joseph Jewett, formerly attorneys of the estate of Mr. John Tuttle, he being now dead, were appointed administrators”.[28]

On 27 Sept. 1659 “Whereas Mr John Tuttle died in Ireland about two or three years ago, and there being no will or administration and the heir appearing and desiring to have the house and land which was his father’s, the court ordered, that if the heir, Symon Tuttle, gave security to repay the rent he shall receive and keep the house in repair, he might take the estate into his possession until the court takes further order, the widow’s thirds being reserved during her life”. [29]

On 6 June 1660 “Antipas Boyse of Boston… merchant, agent or attorney to Jacob Willett of London, merchant, tailor… whereas Joseph Jewett & George Giddings, administrators to the estate of the late John Tuttle, deceased was as administrators aforesaid seized of several parcels of marsh and other lands lying in the town of Ipswich, which were part of the said John Tuttle’s estate & that the said John Tuttle in the time of his life was indebted unto the said Jacob Willett a considerable sum of money, long since due, payable in London, but did not satisfy the same, whereupon the said several parcels of marsh & other lands, as hereafter they are bounded, were recovered by due course of law & seized by execution, to the use of the said Antipas Boyse, as attorney to the said Jacob Willett, and apprized according to order of the court at Boston, there held for the county of Souffoullke, the twenty-fourth of April one thousand six hundred and sixty… do… sell… to Mr. William Hubbard, teacher of the church of Ipswich… the aforesaid parcels of marsh and other lands one parcel of which containeth twenty five acres at a place called the Reedy Marsh together with some knolls of upland lying in the said marsh, containing two acres and six rod… also sixteen acres & three quarters of upland and marsh in Ipswich aforesaid.”[30]

On 15 May 1661 “Simon Tuttell as attorney to Johanna Tuttell executrix of the will of her husband John Tuttell… claimed… the petitioners father and her husband was indebted to Mr Jacob Willet of London, merchant, about £50 which not being paid amounted to £111 here in New England and for satisfaction of the same Mr. Antipas Boyse was made her attorney for the payment of the same out of the stock but instead he had sold of the land in Ipswich and now we ask for your consideration in the case that we may have release from the same”. The court then ordered that “the petition being considered and having seen the discharge given to Mr Boyse by Mr Willet it is judged inexpedient to grant any further hearing.”[31]

On 10 Dec. 1661 “Mr Symond Tuttle bringing in a letter of Attorney from Mrs Joanna, executrix of Mr John Tuttle, the will of the latter having been approved and allowed in Ireland to the satisfaction of this court, it was ordered that said Symond Tuttle be allowed as attorney according to the letter bearing date January 29, 1660”. [32]

On 4 Apr. 1674 “Symon Tuttle aged about forty-three years… states… he was the only child living of Mr John Tuttle and Joanah his wife, who are deceased”. And the following month “Simon Tuttle yeoman & senior of Ipswich… do… sell… to Edward Deare Senior of the same town… an acre and half of land lying in Ipswcih, being on the north side of Ipswich River in the great field called by the name of the North Field, the land being part of a five and twenty acre lot granted to Mr Tuttle father to Symon Tuttle aforesaid”.[33]


John, of Carrickfergus, Ireland, made a Will dated 7 Dec 1656. (The Will was destroyed when the Dublin Registry was destroyed in 1922 during the Black and Tan War in Ireland.) [3] He died on 30 Dec 1656 at Carrickfergus, Ireland.[3]The Will was approved and allowed in Ireland. Administrators were appointed for his estate on 29 March 1659 in Essex County, Massachusetts, and it was stated on on 27 Sept 1659 that John had died two or three years ago.[34]

Birth*Margaret Teschek was born on 22 February 1881 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New YorkG.1 
Marriage*She married Jacob Woessner, son of George Woessner and Sofia Gunther, on 23 April 1919 at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Brooklyn, Kings County, New YorkG. At the time of their marriage Jacob was a widowed chauffeur living at 833 Monroe Street in Brooklyn and Margaret was living at 828 Monroe Street.2,3 
Death*Margaret died on 17 September 1963 at the Queens General Hospital in Queens, New YorkG. According to her death certificate she died of "natural causes", but her niece Gloria Schilter in a letter dated Sept. 25, 1995 states that this is incorrect, and that she had high blood pressure, which led to a stroke, from which she died several weeks later.4 
Burial*She was buried on 20 September 1963 in the Redemption section of Evergreen Cemetery, grave no. 852, in Brooklyn.4,5 
When the 1900 census was taken she was living with her parents in Brooklyn and working as a tailoress. Ten years later the same was true. It further stated that she was a tailoress for a "merchant tailor".

When they got their marriage licenses in 1919, Margaret lived at 828 Monroe Street and Jacob at 333 Monroe Street in Brooklyn.

By 1920 she was married to Jacob "Jack" Woessner and on January 10th when the census taker came they were living at 174 Stuyvesant Avenue in Brooklyn with his son Walter and his mother Sophie. Jacob was employed as a chauffeur at the time. It stated that his mother emigrated to this country in 1860.

The 1925 New York State census found the family at 132-08 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, N.Y. Jacob worked as an auto mechanic and Walter was a 16-year-old stock clerk.

When the 1930 and 1940 censuses were taken Jacob and Margaret were still living at 132-08 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens. Jacob was employed as a mechanic in a milk depot. Jacob's son Walter was living with them but by 1940 had married and moved out on his own. The 1940 census said that it was a home they owned, valued at $4000.

On 27 April 1942 when he registered for the draft they were still at the 101st Avenue address in Richmond Hill and Jacob was employed by the Borden Milk Company of New York City. He was described as wearing glasses, 6 feet tall weighing 165 lbs with blue eyes, brown hair and a light complexion.

She and Jack had no children, although Jack did have a son Walter D. Woessner from his first marriage. Walter was the informant on his step-mother's death certificate in 1963. He was living at 490 Atlantic Avenue in East Rockaway, N.Y. at the time. Walter died in Delaware, N.Y. in 2004.

Margaret was still living at 132-08 101st Ave. in Richmond Hill in the borough of Queens when she died in 1963. She had lived in the city all her life.

Don grew up in Melrose where he graduated high school in 1936. He attended Bentley College in Waltham, Mass. and went to work for the Employers' Group Insurance Co. in Boston before entering the Army in March of 1942. During World War II he served with the 14th Anti-Aircraft Command in the Pacific campaign in New Caledonia, New Zealand, Guadalcanal, the Northern Solomons and fought in the liberation of the Philippines. He was a member of a heavy anti-aircraft gun battalion.

After the war he went back to work in the insurance industry and got married in September 1946. At the time of his marriage he was living with his parents at 300 Washington Street in Melrose and Ellie was a clerk living at 88 Eastern Ave. in Woburn.

They bought a house at 6 Field's Court in Melrose on 23 Aug 1946, nearby his brother Earl and his wife who bought the same day. They were living there when the census was taken in April 1950. By June of 1954 they were living at 17 Cherry Avenue in Stoneham. Eventually they bought a home at 6 Carmen Avenue in Stoneham, Mass. They were still there when Don died, and Ellie remained for a few years before moving into a condo, at 40 Main Street, Unit #204, Stoneham, Mass. where she resided until about 2017 before moving into Benchmark Senior Living at Haverhill Crossings, 254 Amesbury Road in Haverhill, Mass. Later she moved to the Hannah Duston Healthcare Center, also in Haverhill.

In July 1954 Don and friend and co-worker Edward Cassidy bought a summer camp on Highland Lake in East Andover, NH that both families still enjoy.

Don worked as an accountant for Commercial Union Insurance Company in Boston for 40 years. They were members of the First Congregational Church in Stoneham for 28 years. Ellie worked for many years for MassBank, retiring in May 2004.

His death affected a lot of people, including the little girl next door. Years later Elise Danico wrote of her relationship to Don when she was a little girl growing up next door. It was published in the 1986 edition of "Seeds", a booklet put out by the English Department of Stoneham High School in 1986. In it she wrote:

"He was the grandfather I never had and then some. Always there when I needed a friend, always there when I couldn't find anyone in hide-n-seek, Mr. Teschek, the man next door, was one of the best friends I ever had."

"I remember when I was young how during the summer time we would always sit and talk on the big rock. Mr. Teschek would always come out and join us, usually carrying some candy, and talk with us. By that rock was the old oak tree, the one my brothers hung the rope-swing on and which I could never climb in because it was too big. My father had told us not to hang the rope in Mr. Teschek's tree, but Mr. Teschek helped talk Dad into letting us. In the fall, we would help rake his leaves so that when we were done we could jump into them. And he'd help pick up the apples off our tree to make apple sauce, apple pies and lots of other good things to eat. When winter came, the snowplow piled all the snow in front of his house, and he would help us make snowmen and dig tunnels."

"Spring would come and go, bringing summer along once again, but this summer would be different. I will never forget the night we discovered that Mr. Teschek had died. Mrs. Teschek came home and told us what had happened. We all stood in the middle of the street, my mother and sister, the neighbors from across the street, Mrs. Teschek and I, numb with disbelief. During the following days, we attended the wake and funeral, but all through this I didn't shed a tear, I couldn't. One night the tears finally came. The realization that he was gone forever finally struck me, and the tears began freely flowing down my cheeks. I went into my sister's room, and we sat together a long time, talking, crying and comforting each other. We were all very close to him."

"Mr. Teschek was a friend to all and was loved by everyone. But now, to the rest of the world, H he is only a memory, a good memory that will always be happily remembered. Good-bye, Mr. Teschek. I'll never forget you."3,2
