William D. Tuttle

I have an old studio photograph of William TUTTLE which was taken at the J. H. Parsons Studio in Ypsilanti, MI in the 1870's. William appears to be in his 50's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding William and his family:

William D. TUTTLE was b. 12 Jul 1822 or 1823 in Campbell, NY to parents John Abijah TUTTLE (1766-1853) and Mary EASTMAN or EASTMON (1764-1852) who were married sometime around 1800. William was one of 11 children born to this couple including Mary; Hannah; Sarah “Sally” Eutice; John Bradford; Fanny Jane; Lucy; Elizabeth “Eliza”; Elijah “Eli” Jefferson; John Franklin; Mary Ann; and William D. TUTTLE, all born between 1799 and 1823.

William married Permelia Pratt HORTON (1828-1921 or 1912) on 6 Feb 1850, and they had a daughter, Mary E. TUTTLE HOWARD (1847 or 1848-1926). The couple moved to Michigan in 1855. William died 18 Sept 1901 in London, MI and he is buried in the Childs Cemetery in Willis, MI.

I would like to get this photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
Shelley
