| Henry Tuthill migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640). (See The Directory, by R. C. Anderson, p. 344) Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: pgm |

Henry Tuthill born in Norfolk, England, emigrated to New England in 1637. He later removed to Southold, Long Island, New York, qualifying him for "Beyond" status in the Puritan Great Migration project.
Henry Tuthill was baptized 28 Jun 1612 to Henry and Alice Tuthill at the Virgin Mary church of Tharston, Norfolk, England.[1][2][3]
Henry Tuthill and "Mrs. Tuthill" of Saxlingham, Norfolk appear in "Planters of the Commonwealth" as arriving at Boston on 20 Jul 1637 in the "Mary Anne" with an eventual destination of Hingham, Massachusetts.[4]
History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts states that Henry Tuthill had a planting lot at Broad Cove in 1635, and a house lot on Bachelor (Main) Street in Hingham in 1637.[5] Obviously the 1635 date conflicts with a passage of 1637 in the Mary Anne, this conflict has not yet been reconciled.
Henry was Freeman in March 1638, and Constable in 1640. He sold his lots in Hingham 20 June, 1644, and went to Southold, NY, with the Rev. Young's company; his brother John was there before him. [6] and [7]
He married Bridget Unknown (her last name at birth is sometimes claimed to be 'Burton' but without sourcing). Their marriage date & location are not known.
Torrey in "New England Marriages to 1700" was not able to provide additional information, his text & sources were: TUTHILL, Henry (1612-1644/5) & [Bridget] ____, m/2 William WELLS; by 1637, by 1635?; Hingham/Southold, LI
{Ring-Mailer 307; Wickham-Billard 101; Yates-Terry 79; Tuttle xxvi; Wells (1878) 33; NYGBR 29:124; Reg. 15:27, 22:330, 332}[8]
Children:
Henry Tuthill likely died before 1650 (no will or probate has been found), his wife Bridget later married William Wells ca 1650-53 and appears to have had no issue by this marriage. It was probably her decease in or before 1654 which brought John and Elizabeth Tuthill under William Wells guardianship, 31 May 1654,[9] and explains the following entry on the Records of that year:
Upon some question propounded to the Court concerning Mr. Wells, his children, which were Henry Tuthill's of Southold, it is ordained that what evidence can be procured further concerning the children's portions, should be speedily sent to the Governor at New Haven; and if Mr. Wells should remove from Southold, that so much of his estate be secured as may answer for the portions appointed.[10]
Soon after this (probably on coming of age in 1656), the son, John Tuthill executed a release to Mr. Wells for his right and interest in the estate of his father Henry Tuthill and his mother Bridget also now deceased, which came into the hands of William Wells by marriage to his mother. In 1660 a similar release was executed by the husband of his sister Elizabeth.[9]
Profile needs relationship check. See the helpful 2022 comments to the profile by WikiTreer Ann Browning--specifically for items regarding the mother and siblings associated with this Henry Tuttle (PGM). Also as regards his father's name and will. Anderson labels the parents in the NYGBR article as a clue.
Henry and Bridget Unknown Tuthill are ancestors of Benjamin Harrison, president of the US.
Disputed daughter: Ann (Tuthill) Corey (1648-1739) was previously attached as a daughter but disconnected due to lack of supporting evidence.

I have an interest in Tuthill family as they figure as names in some Lincoln and Cooper wills from Hingham, Norfolk so the family had connections with them and Henry’s will may have some useful info.
Edited to add, he should be just Henry, second names are very unusual for this time period, I will check the Will though Ann

Could somebody from PGM look into this please? Tuttle's book is good but not 100% accurate.
Thank you.
“Disconnecting this Mary Tuthill from parents Henry Tuthill-7 and his wife Bridget Unknown. No proof of her relation to this family or her existence. Does not appear in "Genealogies of Long Island Families" section on Tuthill family https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/48330/images/LongIslandFamII-001512-481? or in any other reputable source. Individual sources within this profile will be addressed but none give any primary or contemporaneous source for Mary's parentage including Alva Tuttle's work which states that Mary, Ann & Sarah were daughters of Henry & Bridget but with no primary source given. Her work is contradicted by Anderson and others.”
