TUTTLE.
The name has been spelled in numerous ways, some of the more common being : Tuthill, Tuttil, Tutall, Tuttell, Tutle, Tottle, Tothill, etc., but the last named seems to be the correct one, meaning "The Hill of God." There are many eminences in Eng. bearing the name of Tothill, and the present way of spelling is a corruption of it. (The Tuttle Family, by George F. Tuttle, New Haven, Conn.)

WALLACE. WALLIS.
1. JAMES WALLIS, by occupation a weaver and a farmer, was one of the colony of Scotch-Irish emigrants who gathered at Worcester, Mass., 1718, and a few years following. His homestead of forty acres was in the adjoining town of Leicester, and in an ancient deed " it bounds on Worcester." In 1758, while in the possession of a son, the little farm was annexed to Worcester. James Wallis had a brother, Oliver, a wheelwright, who probably died about 1735, and an unmarried sister, Sarah. He d. in Leicester in 1746, or early in 1747. The widow, Mary, declined administration on the estate, and alleged that he had then no relatives in this country. She requested the appointment of Hugh Thompson. She subsequently had a home with her son James, and d. in Colrain, Mass., in Feb. 1769, aged 70 years.
