Jacob Tuttle 1798 - 1880

My fourth great - grandfather was born on March 18, 1798 in Madison county, New York to Jehiel Tuttle and Abigail Woodruff. I have no information on any siblings at this time. I don't know when he immigrated to Canada, but he married Lois Ransom Averill on January 23, 1823 at Aneath Wentworth Co, Upper Canada. It looks like they moved back and forth between the United States and Canada as in 1850 he applied for a homestead on the Minnesota/Wisconsin border for 80 acres. Then in the 1851 census of Canada West they are listed as living in Cardoc, Middlesex county, Canada West. In 1857 they are listed on the Minnesota, Territorial and State Censuses (1859-1905) as living in Wabash, Minnesota. On the 1861 census of Canada they are listed as living back in Cardoc. In the 1870 United States Federal Census they are listed as living in Knapp, Dunn county, Wisconsin. He passed away there at the age of 82 on December 16, 1880.
