WikiTree: John Tuttle (1618-1663)
John Tuttle 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). 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 (her last name is unknown). 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's legacy continued through his descendants, who maintained and cherished the farm he started, keeping it operational and in the family for generations.We are descended from John and Dorthy Tuttle through the Wright (Tucker) line.

Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
Founding Families of Dover (1)
Dover, New Hampshire, holds the distinction of being the oldest permanent settlement in the state and the seventh oldest in the United States, established in 1623 by William and Edward Hilton at Pomeroy Cove on Dover Point. Originally known as Bristol, the area saw a second settlement at Dover Neck in 1633. Briefly an independent colony named Northam, it was officially named Dover in 1637, potentially after Robert Dover, an English lawyer known for his resistance to Puritanism.
The early township encompassed what are now Durham, Madbury, Newington, Lee, Somersworth, and Rollinsford. Nicknamed "the Garrison City" due to its garrisoned homes built from abundant trees for protection, Dover thrived despite challenges. The town utilized the Cocheco River for industrial purposes as early as 1642, starting with a sawmill, and later developing an extensive shipbuilding industry in the 1700s. By 1830, Dover had evolved into a prominent cotton goods manufacturer, with the Dover Cotton Factory established in 1814 marking the beginning of its textile industry.

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.
