The surname Tuthill is spelled TUTHILL also Totyl. Totehill, and Tuttle, and is derived from tot-hill, a mound. Blomefield, the historian of Norfolk, has written of several tumuli near Thetford. Norfolk, England, the largest of which is called tut-hill. These were doubtless raised by the Danes to cover their dead after the battle with King Edmund. A. D. 871. The arms of the Norfolk family are: Or, on a chevron azure, three crescents argent. Crest : A leopard passant, sable, crowned or, on a mound vert. The arms are on the tomb of Elizabeth, wife of Sir Roger Dalyson, and (laughter of William Tuthill, in Trowse-with- Newton, Norfolkshire. England: she died September 27. 1585, aged eighteen.

(VI) Richard M. Tuthill was the son of one of the two brothers or cousins, mentioned above. As far as possible, the Orange county branch has been given in full, but the records are lacking to show the parentage of Richard M. In 1790, the first federal census shows that John Tuthill was of New Cornwall and had in his family one son under sixteen and two females; Susannah (widow of Daniel) was the head of another family, and Daniel, doubtless Daniel Jr., had three males over sixteen, one under sixteen and two females in his family, all at New Cornwall, Orange county. The history of Orange county states that James was a proprietor of New Windsor in 1751-52. Freegift Tuthill was prominent in the county : member of the Westtown Turn- pike Company in 1812, residing in Minisink. Jonathan Tuthill was living in Minisink in 1810, as was also John in district No. 15. Richard M. Tuthill, of Minisink, represented his district in the state assembly in 1845 and afterward: was deputy sheriff of Orange county. The Orange county family was well

For a time he was a general merchant and afterward was in the employ of the Eric Rail- road Company as baggagemaster at Middle- town and Hornellsville, New York, and road agent on the Susquehanna division of that railroad.

( The Doty Line ).


In the early records the name Doty is spelled Dotey, Dotie, Dottey and Dote. At times the spelling Doughty is used, although it does not belong to the family, and the Doughty family is of a different origin.


(I) Samuel Doty, son of Edward and Faith (Clarke ) Doty, was born at Plymouth, on the High Cliff, probably in 1643. The first men- tion of him on record is January 1, 1667-68, at Plymouth, when he was on a coroner's jury in an inquest on a child kept by John Smalley Sr., of Eastham, on Cape Cod, which had been found dead in the woods. On July 16, 1668, he conveyed land in Dartmonth, which he had inherited from his father, to Benajah Dunham. He lived in Eastham at that time. In "Freeman's History of Cape Cod," there is a record: "In the year 1669, a vessel was cast ashore on Cape Cod, and a controversy arose between Thos. More, the claimant and owner of the cargo, and Sam- uel Doty and others of Eastham, in regard to salvage; and agreement was finally con- cluded October 29th, 1669, and sanctioned by the Court." Another record says: "14th 2d month 1668 Thomas More's vessel cast away at Cape Cod in ye stormi wrin 4 persons perished and much wealth was lost." On Oc- tober 29, 1669, there is a record of a trans-


action between More and Doty regarding the wreck. The next mention found of Samuel Doty is in Piscataway, Middlesex county, New Jersey, where in 1675 he was appointed lieutenant of the military company of New Piscataway. In 1678 he took out a marriage license. He was on the list of freeholders in 1682, and from 1678 to 1696 his name is on several deeds as a purchaser of lands in the vicinity. In 1707 a congregation of Sev- enth Day Baptists was formed in Piscataway, and he and his son joined the congregation. Ilis will was dated September 18, 1715, and proved November 8, 1715, and in it he be- queathed most of his property to his wife, who was executrix. He married, November 15, 1678, Jane Harmon. Children, born at Piscataway : Samuel, August 27, 1679; Sarah, March 2, 1681-82; Isaac, August 12, 1683; Edward, May 14, 1685 ; James, Sep- tember 17, 1686; Jonathan, February 24, 1687-88; Benjamin, mentioned below ; Eliza- beth, February 26, 1695: Joseph, October 30, 1696; Daniel, March 9, 1701-02; Margaret, March 5. 1704-05; (The next two are found on the town register. ) John, born probably about 1680; Nathaniel, born probably about 1707-08.


(II) Benjamin, son of Samuel Doty, was born at Piscataway, New Jersey, May 14, 1691, died at Princeton, New Jersey, in 1746. In 1725 he was living in Burlington county, New Jersey. On March 20, 1739, he was ap- pointed guardian of Samuel Stockton; an orphan aged fifteen. His will was dated March II, 1746, and in it he calls himself "victualler," and leaves his property to his wife and son Benjamin. He married Abigail Whitehead, who was born at Jamaica, New York, daughter of Jonathan Whitehead. She married (second) Thomas Leonard. Chil- dren : Benjamin, mentioned below : Susan- nah, Hannah, Deborah.


(III) Benjamin (2), son of Benjamin (I) Doty, was born probably in Middlesex county, New Jersey, about 1710-13. On Oc- tober 8, 1725, Jonathan Whitehead deeded to his grandson, Benjamin, land in Minisink in counties of Ulster and Orange. In the years 1778 and 1779 he gave other deeds of land to Andrew Clark McNish, Berzalael Seely, and to John Everett. He married Ra- chel - in Middlesex county. On Febrit- ary 13, 1747-48, he and Lydia Mundin were licensed to marry, so she may have been his

(IV) Benjamin (3), son of Benjamin (2) Doty, was born probably in Middlesex county, New Jersey, about 1735-40. Although it has been thought that this Benjamin lived in the east. there seems evidence enough to prove that he was surely son of the above Benjamin. In 1800 he was living at Wantage, Sussex county. New Jersey. From 1765 to 1779 he was in Minisink, living on the land given him by his great-grandfather, Jonathan White- head. In 1802 Mary and Isaac Doty were made administrators of his estate. Mary was doubtless his widow, and Isaac was his son.

Children : Catharine, Rachel, Thomas, Benjamin, mentioned below.

He married (second) Susan Van Tuyl. He married (third) Jane Winfield. Children by first wife: Abner, Isaac Wilcox, Stewart. Bradner P., married (first) Keziah Tuthill and (second) Anna M. Harrison ; Sarah, married Demon C. Tuthill (see Tuthill VII).


The Wallace family is one WALLACE of the most ancient and dis- tinguished in Scotch history. From a branch of this family that settled with the Scotch in Ulster, in the North of Ire- land, said to be descended from the famous Sir William Wallace, the pioneer of this family came.

in great numbers to New England between 1718 and 1750. He was in Hartford, Con- necticut, before 1738. He deeded land there to his son William, in 1738, and to John. April 17, 1741. He died in 1741.

William was of Hartford. and John of Bed- ford, Hampshire county (now Granville, Massachusetts).


(II) John Wallace or Wallis, as the name was more often spelled in his day, son of Robert Wallace, was born about 1715. He was a witness to the will of Samuel Hall, of Middletown, April 26, 1739.

Henry Baldwin, the immi- BALDWIN grant ancestor, came very likely from Devonshire, Eng- land, and was one of the first settlers of Woburn, in that part now known as North Woburn. In 1661 he built here "the palatial house," which is still one of the most im- posing in the town, and which, with some changes and occasional improvements, has been owned and occupied by descendants for six generations, and is now the oldest dwell- ing in Woburn. In 1820 the house looked practically as it looks now. The north chim- ney, put up by George R. Baldwin, was said to be the first "single flue" chimney in the country. He designed the chimney caps and built a small addition on the rear of the house. On the south, between the house and the canal, was formerly a beautiful garden with walks and trees, but all traces of it have disappeared.
