John Tuttle, the father of David Tuttle, was born on December 8, 1631 at Ringstead, Northamptonshire, England to William Tuttle and Elizabeth Matthews. He was the second of eight children that also included Jonathan (1630), Hannah (1633), Thomas (1634), Joseph (1640), Sarah (1642), Benjamin (1648), and Mercy (1650). He was baptized shortly after birth also at Ringstead. At the age of three his family immigrated to Boston and I am going to try to track down the ship they came on. He married Katherine Lane on November 8, 1653 at New Haven, Connecticut and passed away at the age of 51 on November 21, 1683 at Charleston, Suffolk county, Massachusetts.
He came over on a ship called "The Planter." This is a link to the passenger list: http://winthropsociety.com/ships/planter.htm
