Re: Tuthill/Toothill and Welles/Wells

Dora,

One don't have to be of nobility to have manorial estate.

Renia...

No, but you did have to be lord of the manor to have manorial estate.
Dora said these were yeomen, which is not the same thing. You could, of
course, be a yeoman tenant of someone else's manorial estate.

And as for screaming, you served no purpose. I already checked that
website and nothing new, nothing earthshaking, just interwoven that
don't make sense.

The basic information is no different from what I have. And as for your
statement about 60 illegimate children by William Tuttle, born 20 Dec
1607, it's probably news to many others. Only 12 named children, all by
Elizabeth his wife.

And the website got it confused about Anna daughter of William and
Elizabeth with Hannah. I corresponded with Thaddeus Hurd over 20 years
ago to be sure and he was very clear that Anna is one who was widow of
Josh Judson and married John Hurd Jr, son of Adam (the Jr and Sr was
explained in TAG article "Hurd Errors", Jan 1974 issue (Vol. 50 no. 1)

There's no mention of any article specifically about William Tuttle in
the TAG from Vol 50 to present. Just about Richard and John, that's all.

(I was in Family History Library, going through the TAG volumes and
recopied 3 articles I misplaced years ago and picked up the rest that's
revelant to the Footes and Tuttles plus a bonus.)
