term as president of the board of trade. He was an attendant and strong supporter of the Church of the Unity. He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow. Charles Hall married (first) 1856, Jane E. Cady, of Bennington, Vermont, by whom he had one child, Laura, deceased. He married (second) Mina C. Phillips, of Lake Mills, Wisconsin, widow of Frank Phil- lips, and daughter of Oliver Butterfield. She was born in Rushford, New York, July 14, 1836. Of this union were born three chil- dren : I. Trevor, died in infancy. 2. Mary D., born December 31, 1871, married January 27, 1904, Charles C. Morgan and resides in New York City. 3. Charles H., next mentioned. (IX) Charles Hiland, son of Charles and Mina C. (Butterfield) (Phillips) Hall, was born in Springfield, August 12, 1874. After several years study in private schools he en- tered the Springfield high school, from which he graduated in 1893. The same year he en- tered Williams College as a member of the class of 1897, and remained one year. In 1894 he went into business with his father and remained until 1901, when he accepted a po- sition with Marshall Field & Company, of Chicago, and became buyer of foreign goods in some of their departments. He was in the employ of Marshall Field & Company two and one half years, and then took the position of manager and buyer of a similar group of . stocks with Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., when they bought out the business of Schlesinger & Mayer. After two and one-half years em- ployment here he was recalled to Springfield by the death of his father, and took the man- agement and control of the business, which has been carried on for fifty years, as a china store, and retaining the name of Charles Hall. In 1907 Mr. Hall bought the old home office building of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, three doors north of the old store, and in January, 1909, the business which had been established for more than fifty years at 393 Main street was removed there. Mr. Hall's management of the busi- ness has been successful, and it has constantly grown. He is a member of Springfield Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, the Delta Psi college fraternity, the Nayasset and the Country clubs, and George Washington Chap- ter, Sons of the American Revolution. He is also vice-president and a director of the Boys Club. In politics he is a moderate Republican. Charles H. Hall married, June 12, 1901, Grace Nichols, of Springfield, born November 19, 1875, daughter of Charles A. and Elizabeth D.

( Barton) Nichols. Mr. Nichols has for years been a successful book publisher. The chil- dren of this union are: Nichols, born October 13, 1903; Hiland, December 27, 1905; and Elizabeth, September 20, 1907.

(The Tuttle Line).

This name was originally Totyl, and con- trary to the general belief the spelling was transformed to Tuttle prior to the period of emigration. A family pedigree bearing the date of 1591 places it at its head William Totyl, of Devonshire, called "Esq.," who served as bailiff in 1528 and again in 1548, was high sheriff in 1549, and lord mayor of Ex- eter in 1552. As these offices were only given to men of large estate and high family con- nection, it may be inferred that he was a man of social eminence. The present agitation against race suicide would have found in him an enthusiastic supporter, as the pedigree above mentioned credits him with being the father of thirty-six children, but it is reasonable to assume however, that he was married more then once although his only recorded mar- riage was to Elizabeth Mathew, of Vorganwg,

Wales. The name of twelve of his children appear in the records, and it is quite probable that Elizabeth was the mother of four of them, namely : Geoffrey, John, Robert and Richard.

Four distinct families by the name of Tut- tle immigrated from England in 1635, and three of them arrived at Boston on the "Planter," in the spring of that year. The heads of these three families were : John, who settled in Ipswich; Richard, who remained in Boston ; and William, who went to New Haven. The fourth was that of another John Tuttle, who embarked on the ill-fated "Angel Gabriel," which was wrecked on the rocky coast of Maine, August 15, 1634. This John Tuttle settled in Dover, New Hampshire, prior to 1640, and became the progenitor of a nu- merous posterity. With Richard, William and the Dover settler we shall have no more to do, as they nor their descendants do not come within the province of this sketch.

(I) John Tuttle, the planter passenger, went from Boston to Ipswich, where he was admitted a freeman March 16, 1639, and he was engaged in mercantile pursuits, transact- ing business with London merchants. He was a man of prominence, and bore the title of Master, or Mister, as in an early deed he is mentioned thus: "way reserved between Mr. Tuttle's swamps and ends of lot." In 1644 he was a representative to the general

court. He seems to have become dissatis- fied with his surroundings, as about the year 1652 he recrossed the ocean to Ireland, where he settled advantageously. His wife Joan fol- lowed him two years later, and his death oc- curred in Carrickfergus, December 30, 1656. His children were: Abigail, "Symon," Sarah, and John, who were born in England; Mary and Simon (2d), who were born in Ipswich. Joan Tuttle was also the mother of four other children by a former marriage with Lawrence.

(II) Simon, sixth child and third son of John and Joan Tuttle, was born in Ipswich, in 1637. He remained in Ipswich, and in 1678 had the right of commonage in that town. He married (first) in 1659, Joan, daughter of Thomas Burnham, and in 1662 or 1663 he married (second) Sarah, daughter of John Cogswell. He died in 1692, and his sec- ond wife, who survived him many years, died January 24, 1732. Simon Tuttle was the father of thirteen children, namely: John, Joanna, Simon, Elizabeth, Sarah, Abigail, Su- sanna, William, Charles, Mary, Jonathan, Ruth, and another daughter, whose name is not given in the records.

(III) Simon (2), second son of Simon (I) and Sarah (Coggswell) Tuttle, was born in Ipswich, September 17, 1667, and removed to Littleton, in 1720. He married, July 16, 1695, Mary Rogers, born September 10, 1672. Their children were: Simon, Samuel, John, Nathaniel and Lucy.

(IV) John (2), third son of Simon (2) and Mary (Rogers) Tuttle, married Sarah, whose surname is not recorded. Their children were: Sarah, John, Elizabeth, Annis (died young), Mary (died young), Jonathan, Mary, Martha, Annis, Jedediah and Dorothy.

(V) Mary, fifth daughter of John and Sarah Tuttle, was born August 24, 1755, and married, February 12, 1782, at Littleton, Massachusetts, Henry Davis. Henry Davis, born at Groton, Massachusetts, October 17, 1758, died Feb- ruary 9, 1842, was the eighth child of Benja- min Davis, born April 10, 1712, and his wife Sarah, born September 27, 1722. Benjamin died at Groton, Massachusetts, January 8, 1797, and Sarah died in the same town March 12, 1794. Henry Davis was in the battle of Bunker Hill under Stark, belonging to Colonel Reed's New Hampshire regiment, and served Over two years in the revolutionary army. Soon after his marriage he removed to Rock- ingham, Vermont, where he resided till a few years before his death. He died at Grafton.

His widow, Mary (Tuttle) Davis, died at Grafton, April 12, 1849, aged ninety-four. They lived together as husband and wife but three days short of sixty years. Their chil- dren were: Sarah, Henry, Polly, Joseph, David, Jedediah, Benjamin, Dolly Tuttle, Betsey and Mary Anne.

(VI) Dolly Tuttle, third daughter of Henry and Mary (Tuttle) Davis, was born in Rock- ingham, Vermont, March 2, 1792, died at North Bennington, January 8, 1879. She married Governor Hiland Hall. (See Hall, VII.)

(The Hubbard Line).

The Hubbards were pioneer settlers in Massachusetts, and came within fifteen years of the time of the settlement of the Puritans at Plymouth. The name is a corruption of the personal name Hubert.

(I) George Hubbard, the immigrant, was born at Wakefield, in the county of York, England, in 1594, came to Boston, Massachu- setts, and thence went to Hartford, Connecti- cut, in 1636, and died in Middletown to which place he had removed from Hartford about 1652. His death occurred March 18, 1685. His home lot joined that of John Hall (see Hall), with whose progeny the descendants of George Hubbard afterward intermarried. Hall and Hubbard seem to have been among the wealthier of the inhabitants, as the tax- list of the fifty-two householders of March 22, 1670, shows. John Hall was rated at £99, and George Hubbard at f90 Ios., each being above the average of the list. George Hub- bard married, in 1640, Elizabeth Watts, daugh- ter of Richard Watts. Their children were: I. Mary, born January 16, 1641. 2. Joseph, December 10, 1643. 3. Daniel, December, 1645. 4. Samuel, May, 1648. 5. George, De- cember, 1650; all born in Hartford. 6. Na- thaniel, December 10, 1652. 7. Richard, July, 1655. 8. Elizabeth, January 15, 1659; the last three born at Middletown.

(II) Nathaniel, fifth son of George and Elizabeth (Watts) Hubbard, was born at Mid- dletown, December 10, 1652, and married, May 29, 1683, Mary Earl, and died May 20, 1738. They had ten children : I. Mary, March 9, 1684. 2. Abigail, February 10, 1686. 3 Elizabeth, July 17, 1688. 4. Nathaniel, Sep- tember 14, 1690, married Sarah Johnson, of Middletown. 5. John, November 28, 1692. 6. Sarah, October 5, 1694. 7. Ebenezer, Oc- tober 2, 1696. 8. Thankful, October 6, 1698. 9. Hannah, July 4, 1700. 10. Esther, July 20, 1702.

(III) Ebenezer, third son of Nathaniel and Mary (Earl) Hubbard, was born October 2, 1696, and died March 30, 1776. He was a member of the Middlefield Society. He mar- ried (first) February 25, 1725, Hannah Wet- more, daughter of Beriah and Margaret (Stow) Wetmore, of Middletown. She was born May 2, 1703, and died May 22, 1761. He married (second) Lydia Wetmore, February 14, 1764. She was born September 22, 1708, and died March 28, 1779, daughter of Joseph and Lydia (Bacon) Wetmore. Margaret (Stow) Wetmore, the mother of Hannah, was the daughter of Rev. Samuel Stow, the first minister of Middletown, who died in 1704, aged eighty-two. He was one of the early graduates of Harvard College and was in- strumental in founding churches in Simsbury and other places. The descendants of Mar- garet Stow have, therefore, for their ancestors, the first minister, as well as George Hubbard, one of the most prominent early settlers of Middletown. The children of Ebenezer and Hannah (Wetmore) Hubbard were: I. Han- nah, born November 30, 1725. 2. Ebenezer, August 1, 1729. 3. Hope, February 22, 1730. 4. Josiah, March 4, 1732. 5. Jedediah, July 12, 1734. 6. Elijah, see below. 7. Ruth, bap- tized April 22, 1739. 8. Submit, May 2, 1742, died in Middlefield about 1820. 9. Hezekiah, September 2, 1744, died October 28, 1762.

(IV) Elijah, fourth son of Ebenezer and Hannah (Wetmore) Hubbard, was born Jan- uary 16, 1737. In 1774 he removed to Win- chester, Connecticut, where he had bought a small farm on which he lived till 1805, when he sold it to Jared Curtis, who had become his son-in-law. He was of the Newlights or Separatists, an eminently pious man. He died at Winchester about 1810. He married (first ) January 27, 1762, Abigail Whitmore, who died August 7, 1776. He married (second) March 12, 1777, Ursula Drake, born January 21, 1752, died May 3, 1786, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Barber) Drake, of Torring- town, Connecticut. The children by wife Abigail were : I. Hezekiah, born May 4, 1763, lied May 27, 1763. 2. Hannah Witmore, August 28, 1764. 3. Elijah, August 28, 1766, (lied September 6, 1766. 4. Abigail, see below. 5. Elijah, February 10, 1770. 6. Isa- bel Whitmore, April 12, 1772. 7. Nathaniel, August 5. 1774. Children by wife Ursulla were: 1. Submit, January 12, 1778; 2. Anna, April 16, 1783.

(V) Abigail, second daughter of Elijah and Abigail (Whitmore) Hubbard, was born in

Middlefield parish, Middletown, Connecticut, October 18, 1767, died in Bennington, Ver- mont, March 24, 1846. She lived for a con- siderable time in her childhood with her aunt, Submit Hubbard, and afterward for several years, until her marriage, away from her father's home, in different families, two among which were those of Rev. Ammi R. Robbins and Deacon Abraham Hall, of Norfolk, Con- necticut. She was married at the latter place, October 12, 1794, by Rev. Ammi R. Robbins to Nathaniel Hall (see Hall VI), nephew of Deacon Hall, and immediately went to live at Bennington, Vermont. Governor Hall, her son, thus writes of her: "My mother's educa- tion was slight, but she read, besides the Bible, with which she was familiar, many books, among them Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Doddridge's Life of Col. Gardner, Robinson Crusoe, and the Vicar of Wakefield; and by telling me about them inspired me with a de- sire to read them and other stories, by the perusal of which I early acquired a taste for reading which she encouraged in every way in her power .. What little knowledge I afterward acquired is owing largely to the earnest start she gave me in my childhood. She was a very industrious woman, of much energy and perseverance, affectionate to her husband and children, charitable to those in need, and al- ways had a ready helping hand for all in dis- tress. For the last fifty years of her life she was with her husband, an active and exem- plary member of the Baptist Church."

Ambrose Fowler was a resi- FOWLER dent of Windsor, Connecticut, as early as 1640, where he was a member of Rev. John Warham's church. There is considerable evidence that he was son of William Fowler, who was the magis- trate of New Haven. Ambrose Fowler was one of a committee in 1641 in Hartford colony to settle the bounds between Uncoway and Poquonnuck. He sold his land at Windsor in 1671 and soon afterwards removed with his family to Westfield, Massachusetts. In 1675 there is a notice of the burning of "Mr. Am- brose Fowler's house and barn" at Windsor. His will was made in 1692 and proved in 1706. He married, at Windsor, May 6, 1646, Jane Alvord, who died May 22, 1684. He died

October 18, 1704. Children, born in Windsor : I. Abigail, March 1, 1646; married, March 22, 1670-1, Increase Sikes. 2. John, November 6, 1648; married Mercy Miller. 3. Mary, May 15, 1650; married, May. 14, 1677, Fearnot

The French Ble ( Wheat) was

WHEAT used by the Normans as a fam- ily name at a very early period, 1180, when Unfredus de Ble resided in Nor- mandy. In 1192 Robert de Blee lived in county Stafford, England, and Galfridus de Blie in Lancaster. The name when translated into English became Wheat. There were many varieties of spelling, among them Wheatt. Whet, Wheet, Weat, Weet, etc. In 1619 the family was widely scattered over England, living in counties Stafford, Glouces- ter, Lincoln, Berks, Middlesex and Notting- ham. The family seated at Coventry bore arms as follows: Vert, a fess indented and in chief three garbs or. Crest: a stag's head proper attired and gorged with three bars or, in the mouth three ears of wheat of the last. The Glympton family of Wheat bore : Crest : A buck's head holding three wheat ears in its mouth. Arms: Vert, a fess dancette or, in chief three garbs of the second.
