Is Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle, a PGM, an unknown, a Southcot or a Mathews

Question

Jacobus, Donald Lines, and Helen D. Love in Families of Ancient New Haven says "Unknown". I wonder if there has been newer sources since then ?

Answer 1

Robert Charles Anderson's  Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume VII, T-Y, pp 138-145 (esp 142) calls her "Elizabeth ______". While he adds much commentary and bibliographic information to his profile of William Tuttle, he says nothing about any theories about Elizabeth's maiden name. This Great Migration volume was published in 2011, so unless there is something that came out in the last couple of years, I'd recommend we go with Unknown and put theories under == Disputed Origins == at the top of the profile.

 

 

Answer 2

In "William Tuttle of New Haven," in The American Genealogist, vol 59 (1983):214, the editor(s) write:

"Waterman and Jacobus (Hale, House, pp 773-774) and Prindle (in his Gillespie work pp 485-6) presented evidence that William Tuttle's wife Elizabeth was closely related to Robert Hill of New Haven or to his unidentified first wife, and that William (or Elizabeth) was uncle (or aunt) of Azubah Lamson, daughter of Thomas Lamson of New Haven." Attempts to follow these clues in Ringstead and other co. Northampton records have thus far been fruitless."
