The Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, Pg 85, says the following about our English origins:
 
"BROWNING'S Americans of Royal Descent gives an ancestral line of the emigrant Tuthill, through Grafton the Chronicler and the Earls of Chester, to Alfred the Great: but I am unable to verify it. It has moreover too many generations of Tuthills in this country. The first Tuthill named in the Chart may have been son of John of Saxlingham, Norfolk, mentioned in the Visitation of Essex in 1634 as second son of John Tuthill and his w. Elizabeth Woolmer, and grandson of a John Tuthill of Saxlingham. The sons of the elder brother of the first above named John are enumerated, and no Henry appears among them. The records of St. Mary's, Tharston, Norfolk, give the burial of "Elizabeth Tuttell widowe" --could she be John's?--on Feb. 7, 1587, and the burial of Henry Tuthill on Mch. 26, 1618, and the following baptisms of the children of Henry Tuthill (spelling it also Tutthill, Tuttill, and Tuttell) and Alice his wife, viz.: John on Oct. 25, 1607, William on Oct. 29, 1609, Henrye on June 28, 1612, and Elsebeth on Mch. 9, 1616."

See the Norfolk County, England Heritage Page

Born:  June 28, 1612, in Tharston, Norfolk, baptized St. Mary's church. (per Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison)

Immigration:   No record of immigration. First record Hingham, Mass in 1637.

Residences: Hingham, Mass 1637-1640's > Southold, Long Island 1640's.

Spouse:   Bridget, birthdate unknown, say 1612. She survived Henry and married, second, William Welles, for his first known wife, about 1650. She died before 1655, the estimated date of the second marriage of William Welles; "shortly after" her marriage to William Welles, per the Tuthill Genealogy. The children would have been quite young when she married William Welles, about 4-15 years of age in 1650. It's possible that William Welles may have continued raising his step-children, or the oldest son, aged 20 in about 1655, may have taken on that responsibility.

Death:   Torrey says 1644-1650. Tuthill Genealogy reports estimated date of birth of youngest child to be 1650.

Estate / Will:   I am not aware of any records of his estate or will having survived.

What is the history of Henry Tuthill's brother, John?
 
Thanks to a Genforum posting:

According to Alva Tuttle & his sources:

"John Tuthill, baptised 25-Oct-1607 in County Norfolk, England; son of Henry Tuthill born c1580 & Alice GOOCH; emigrated to America c1637 or possibly earlier; widower, probably emigrated with his brother Henry Tuthill born 1612.

Said to be in New Haven, CT, in 1640 & appointed as constable in Southold, LI. Returned to England ____ & died there."


Elizabeth Tuthill (1584-1657) md Thomas Paine?

Torrey reports that Thomas Paine (1586-1644), of Salem, married Elizabeth ?Tuthill (1584-1657), in England on Nov 22, 1610. Is she related to our Tuthill family?
