Notes:

John Tuttle, originally from Northern England, arrived in what would become Dover, New Hampshire, around 1638 after surviving a shipwreck off the Maine coast in 1635 (the Angel Gabriel, according to family legend) and spending some time in Ipswich, Massachusetts. He received a land grant from King Charles II, estimated at about 7 acres, situated between two rivers. This land marked the beginning of his farming venture.

In 1640, John married a woman named Dorothy in Dover. The same year, he appeared on a list of Dover's principal citizens, protesting against a plan to bring Dover under Massachusetts' control. This action suggested that John preferred the governance style of Mason and Gorges over the Puritan rule of Massachusetts.

John's farm was located on the east side of Dover Neck, about forty rods southeast of the present-day Henderson's Field. Initially, he owned eight acres there, and this land has remarkably stayed within his family for generations. He also had thirty acres on the Great Bay and received additional land from the town, later given to his son, Judge Tuttle, in 1706.

John was a prosperous farmer, and his dedication to farming laid the foundation for a family tradition that would endure for centuries. His farm eventually grew to about 240 acres, including various types of land. Notably, this farm became recognized as the oldest continuously family-owned farm in the United States, a testament to the Tuttle family's long-standing commitment to agriculture.

John passed away in May or June 1663, around the age of forty-five. His wife, Dorothy, was appointed to manage his estate, as he died without a will. She reported to the court on June 30, 1663. John's legacy continued through his descendants, who maintained and cherished the farm he started, keeping it operational and in the family for generations. The Tuttle family farm remains a significant part of American agricultural history, symbolizing enduring dedication and resilience.

John married UNKNOWN, Dorothy about 1640 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. Dorothy was born in 1620 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died on 30 Jun 1663 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

THOMAS CANNEY bought land of Capt. Wiggin in Dover in 1634. He was living in 1671, and had second wife, Jane, in 1655. He lived on the Pascataqua shore of Newington. Children were THOMAS, born before 1645, married Sarah, daughter of Anthony Taylor of Hampton. She married (2) John Wingate. JOSEPH, married Mary Clement. DAUGHTER, married Henry Hobbs. MARY, married Jeremy Tibbetts."Early Marriages of Strafford County"?Canney, Thomas, b.1600 in Okehampton, England, d. 1678, came to Strawberry Bank (Newington), about 1631, had grant at Dover Neck in 1634, had other grants in 1652 and 1656.

THOMAS KINNE (Kenney, Keeney) of Norfolk, England, according to numerous reported sources, had three sons. Two of them, William and John, have been listed with their descendents in the most recent KEENEY UPDATES. These families populated much of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, as well as New York and midwestern states.THOMAS II, referred to in New Hampshire archives, chose to go by the name of CANNEY, as did his early descendents.The three sons of Sir Thomas did not come to America together. According to Names of Stewards & Servants Sent by John Mason Esq. To Colony of New Hampshire Thomas Canney was listed as the first settle on New Hampshire. His birth date was listed as 1611 at Okelhampton. He settled first at Thompson's Point in Dover.Thomas was sent to America in 1631, got land from Captain Wiggins in 1634, was listed as a freeman (suggesting that he had "worked off' his cost of passage), was taxed several times between 1648 and 1668, and was alive in 1699, although he had lost his sight.Although some sources say that the first wife of Thomas Canney is unknown, later sources list his first marriage to MARY LOOME in 1637 and a second marriage to JANE in 1657.Thomas gave his son JOSEPH real and personal property on 3 December 1669. Later, Thomas Canney III & wife Grace gave land near Thompson's Point, Dover, to his brother Samuel on 12 August 1703. Thomas had earlier, on 20 February 1640, petitioned with several others the Royal Government of Massachusetts "that we may comfortably enjoy the benefits of His Majesty's laws".John Mason, benefactor of Thomas Canney, named this new colony for his own English county Hampshire. The colony was 9th in ratifying the US Constitution, the number required to make it effective. This rugged land of mountains (White Mts.), forests, rivers and lakes, became the largest of the six states of New England. Concord became the capital in 1808, but Portsmouth, Exeter, Hopkintown, Charlestown, DOVER, Hanover and Amherst had their turns as state capital.

The family of HENRY TIBBETS (whose wife was ELIZABETH KENNEY) were very close neighbors of Thomas Canney at Dover Neck. Both Henry & Elizabeth were born in 1596, so it is likely true that Elizabeth was a daughter of Sir Thomas. Henry, who became Dover's lone shoemaker, had come from London to America in 1635 on the ship "JANE". Jeremiah, first son of Henry Tibbets, married Mary Canney, daughter of Thomas and Mary Loome Canney.

May Tibbetts Jarvis, "Henry Tibbetts of Dover NH and some of his Descendants,1635-1939", has 2 full pages on Thomas Canney of Piscatawa and Dover, and his children: Thomas was sent over by Capt. Mason on or before 1631 from western England . He was Constable in 1648 (p. 32, Pioneers of Me & NH 1623-1660 by Charles Henry Pope) on the Grand Jury 1643 & 1656, petty jury 1651(Libby's Dict. ,Part 2, p. 127). He was a freeman in 1653, had landgrants in 1652-55, andwas Selectman, Dover, 1658 April 19 (Scales' Hist,Dover, p.256).

Thomas Canney lived first at Newington on the Piscataqua Shore, and later moved to Dover Neck near the Friends Burial Ground. In 1643 he was one of 12 men of Bloody Point (Newington) who petitioned to have the territory restored to Dover (Mass Archives,3, 438; Scales' History of Dover, p.173). Thomas took a lot from Capt. Wiggin in 1634; Freeman in 1638; first wife not known, but second wife is Jane _____, a big woman who was accused of beating him and daughter Mary and Mary's husband, Jeremy. Old Thomas lost his sight and was excused from "common training." Ref.: NEHGR, 4/1853 et ad passim; "Brackett Genealogy," Herbert I. Brackett (Washington, DC: 1907), p. 49. The LDS Church's unverified Pedigree Resource File(CD 26, Pin 184900) states that Thomas m. Mary Loam (b. ca. 1613) and that Thomas is son of William Kenney/Canney. Also see "Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire," Charles Henry Pope (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1965), p. 32.

Family Notes:Thomas lived in Piscataqua (Portsmouth) in 1631. He bought land in Dover, NH in 1634 from Capt. Wiggins. Living at Bloody Point, he was one of those residents who petitioned about 1642 to be included in the town of Dover, NH. Thomas was a constable in 1648, and a grand juror in 1643 and 1656. His and Mary's lot "butting upon ye high street west, and on ye east nere ye river of Nechechoewannicke, on ye lands of Joseph Austin, south, and uppon ye lands adioyning to ye spring north." They had grants of land in 1652 and 1656; he bought "Thompsons point ," and was then granted 16 acres adjacent "the outmost point turning up to Cochecho.' Thomas sold his 1656 grant, which was bounded on the southeast partly by Nechewanick River, to son-in-law Henry Hobbs in 1661. He married again; his second wife's name was Jane. In Aug 1655.-- "Jane, wife of Thomas Canney presented for beating her son-in-law, Jeremie Tebbets & his wife & her husband." In June 1661--"Tho: Canney of dover desireing the Court to free him from Comon training by reason he hath lost his eiesight, [it] is granted him." In 1671 he removed to York, but went back to Dover where he was last mentioned for intoxication in June 1681.ref: (Part I) Genealogical Items Relating to the Early Settlers of Dover, NH.

The three sons of Sir Thomas did not come to America together. According to "Nemes of Stewards & Servants Sent by John Mason Esq to Colony of New Hampshire" Thomas Canney was listed as the first settler on New Hampshire. His birth date was listed as 1611 at Okelhampton. He settled first at Thompson's Point in Dover.

Thomas Canney was sent over by Captain Mason on or before 1631. He took a lot of Captain Wiggins in 1634, which in 1647 was bounded thus: - "Butting upon ye high street west, and on ye east nere ye river of Nechechoewannicke, on ye lands of Joseph Austin, south and uppon ye land a dioynin gto ye spring north." He was taxed in 1648 and to 1668, and was alive in 1677. He had grants of land in 1652-56. He was a freeman in 1653. He was a sea captain and some have said he was from northern Scotland and belonged to the Campbell Clan. On 26 June 1661 "The Canney of Dover desireing the Court to free him from Comon training by reason he hath lost his eie sight, [it] is granted him." - Court Records.

Although some sources say that the first wife of Thomas Canney is Unknown, later sources list his first marriage to Mary Loome in 1637 and a second marriage to Jane in 1657

Thomas gave his son Joseph real and personal property on December 3, 1669. Later, Thomas Canney III & wife Grace gave land near Thompson's Point, Dover, to his brother Samuel, on August 12, 1703. Thomas had earlier, on February 20, 1640, petitioned with several others the Royal Government of Massachusetts "that we may comfortably enjoy the benefits of His Majesty's laws".

Canney's marsh is on the Greenland shore of the Great Bay, adjacent
to Canney's creek, and now forms part of the Weeks land. It is so named from Thomas Canney of Dover, who, before 1651, had a grant of nine acres of marsh on the S.W. side of the Great Bay, "bounded on the south running into ye marsh of George Webb's creek, and ye whole marsh in tire till you come out of ye Great Bay at ye north end upon a cove, a neck of land all on ye S.E. side between Geo. Webbs and that. More, two small spots lying by the water side, near to the above marsh, bounded upon ye south west side of ye Great Bay." Thomas and Grace Kenney of Dover, May 4, 1696, conveyed to Leonard Weeks of Greenland "three acres of meadow on the Great Bay, given by Ould Thomas Kenney to his son Thomas, deceased, as appears by a deed to his son Joseph." - Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire by Mary P. Thompson

In a deed from Thomas Canney to his son-in-law Henry Hobbs, dated July 12, 1661, the grant to Thomas Canney in 1656 was bounded "southeast partly by Eschew River and partly by a certain parcell of Land yt was sometime possessed by Capt. Masons agent." A confirmation of the grant to Thomas Canney was made in 1661 and contains most the precise words of this deed. This might lead to the hasty conclusion that here Ambrose Gibbons built the Great House at Newichawannock. Instead here was the fish weir of Sagamore Rowls, with adjacent land for planting. Rowls conditionally relinquished his right to it in favor of Humphery Chadbourne, May 8, 1646, confirming a "Bargain of Saile" previously made, "my Right of the Ware at the Fales of the great River of Newichawannock known by the Name o Little John's Fales." Here all the servants of Capt. John Mason obtained fish by a former verbal agreement with Sagamore Rowls, called a "Bargain of Saile."' In 1702 Samuel Canney sold these three acres to the father of Ichabod Plaisted and he confirmed the sale by a deed to said Ichabod in 1722. The three acres were at a place called Hobbs Hole, a deep place in the river, into which Thomas Wallingford launched his ships. Wallingford bought the land of Plaisted, more land of Thomas Hobbs and still more of John Stackpole in 1737, till he owned all the present field between the Sligo Road and the river. When Wallingford's widow lived here the cove where the fish weir and the shipyard had been was called "Madam's Cove". All this belongs more properly to the history of Sligo and Vicinity, which I hope to publish. See N. H. Prov. Deeds VI, 172 and Dover's Old Book of records, p. 81 and York Deeds, 1, 6.

Thomas Canney was sent to Dover New Hampshire by Captain Mason in 1631 or earlier and took a lot near Captain Wiggins in 1634.His wife's name is unknown, but she must have emigrated as part of another family; their first child was born abt 1636.They had five children together.

We have 6 separate lines of descent, all on the Wright (Tucker) side through their three daughters: Jane, Mary, and Hannah.

Thomas was a signer of the Dover Combination. In 1652 he was excused from the court for military training because of impaired eyesight.

After his first wife died, Thomas married againin 1652 to a woman named Jane.Jane was in court twice. Once in 1652 for beating her husband and again in 1655 for beating Thomas' daughter Mary and Mary's husband,

Thomas Canney was sent over by Captain Mason on or before 1631. He took a lot of Captain Wiggins in 1634, which in 1647 was bounded thus: - "Butting upon ye high street west, and on ye east nere ye river of Nechechoewannicke, on ye lands of Joseph Austin, south and uppon ye land adioyning to ye spring north." He was taxed in 1648 and to 1668, and was alive in 1677. He had grants of land in 1652, 56 &c. He was a freeman in 1653. He was a sea captain and some have said he was from northern Scotland and belonged to the Campbell Clan. On 26 June 1661 "The Canney of Dover desireing the Court to free him from Comon training by reason he hath lost his eiesight, [it] is granted him." - Court Records.
In the autumn of 1637, the people formed a "Combination" for government and Rev. George Burdett was placed at the head. In the absence of government, the growing colony found it necessary to organize. "In witness wee have hereto Set our hands the two and twentieth day of October in the Sixteenth year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord Charles by the grace of God King of Great Brittain France & Ireland Defender of the Faith &c. Anno. Dom. 1640" Thomas Canney, Richard Pinkham, John Heard, Robert Huggins, William Storer, William Furbur, John Damme and William Pomfret all signed this. The book "By The Name Of Kinnie" states that according to Mabel (Gould) Demers (formerly of #9 Stobie St., Waterville, ME) rearranged and amplified at Dunedin, FL 33528, 988 Philico Drive, 1971 by Mabel Demers Hinckley provides the information that Thomas Canney was a son of Sir Thomas Kinne and that his brothers William and John each spelled their names differently. This has not yet been verified by any other sources.1
