Hannah Tuttle, dau. of Richard Tuttle and Ann Taylor, bp. Aug. 17, 1623 at Ringstead, Northamptonshire, England. In April 1635 called "Anna aged 12," she sailed with her parents from the Port of London on the ship Planter and arrived at Boston, Mass. by the following July. That she was recorded as "aged" 12 means in April 1635 she was then 11 years old consistent with her known date of baptism. She d. Aug. 8, 1683 at Hartford, Conn., "aged" 60, not 50.
According to a 1898 issue of the Connecticut Quarterly Magazine, Hannah's gravestone was standing at Hartford's Center (aka Ancient) Cemetery in 1835, with the inscribed statement that she died "aged" 50.[*1] However, her age at death is mis-stated, when actually she died "aged 60." Based on this errant inscription, George F. Tuttle, author of the 1883 Tuttle Genealogy (1:1, 1:82), claimed Hannah was the dau. of her uncle, William Tuttle of New Haven, Conn. This wrong identification was carried forward by Barbour in "Families of Early Hartford, Connecticut." In addition, the 1902 restoration of Hartford's Ancient Burying Ground did not then include restoration of Hannah's gravestone. However, a photo of her half-buried gravestone taken in 2006 versus a photo of her fully upright gravestone in 2015, indicate Hannah's gravestone was restored between the latter two dates.
In 1974 Donald Lines Jacobus proved and corrected Hannah's parental association error (The American Genealogist, 30:7). William Tuttle's dau. Ann, bp. Jan. 20, 1632/3, who George Tuttle confused as being one and the same as Hannah, brother Richard's dau., accompanied her cousin Hannah in 1635 aboard the Planter. Ann, dau. of John, m. 1) Joshua Judson of Stratford, Conn. and 2) John Hurd, Jr. of Stratford and Woodbury, Conn.
In circa 1649, Hannah Tuttle, dau. of Richard, m. 1) John Pantry, s. of William and Margaret Pantry of Hartford, Conn. He d. testate betw. Sept. 1 and Nov. 25, 1653 at Hartford leaving three infant children to be raised by their stepfather: John Pantry, Hannah Pantry (d. unm.) and Mary (Pantry) Mix.
On June 23, 1654 at Hartford, Hannah m. 2) the Hon. Thomas Welles, Jr., s. of Gov. Thomas Welles and Alice Tomes,[*2] b. in England. He d. intestate at Hartford bef. Aug. 20, 1668 with his probate record under the surname of Welles. He is referred to in the records as the "Worshipful" Thomas Welles. They had seven children: Rebecca (Welles) Judson, Thomas, Sarah (Welles) Bidwell, Ichabod, Samuel, Jonathan (d. unm) and Joseph. That Hannah's gravestone spells her last married name as "Wells" versus "Welles" is highly suggestive her gravestone was erected long after her death and is likely the reason her age at death is incorrectly inscribed.
During the entirety of her second marriage, Hannah (Tuttle)(Pantry) Welles' mother-in-law, her 2nd husband's step-mother, was Elizabeth (Deming)(Foote) Welles, the writer's ancestor. Elizabeth died testate at Hartford in 1683 just 12 days before Hannah. Two of Hannah's grandchildren, by dau. Sarah (Welles) Bidwell, m. grandchildren of two additional sets of the writer's ancestors.
[*1] The Connecticut Quarterly, IV (1898):85; The Ancient Burying Ground of Hartford - Welles, Hannah, died 1683, age 50. The associated 1835 standing gravestone list was compiled by Mary K. Talcott and also appears in the 1904 pamphlet "Restoration of the Ancient Burying Ground and Widening of Gold Street."
[*2] Barbour in "Early Families of Hartford, Conn.," p. 657, calls his mother Elizabeth Hunt. Jacobus in "Hale, House..." (1952, p. 778) clearly identifies her as Alice Tomes, dau. of John and Ellen (Gunne)(Phelps) Tomes, with accompanying ancestry.

HANNAH
WELLS (sic) AGED
50 (sic) YEARS DIED
AvGvst ye 8th DAY
1683
Based on her recorded date of baptism in England (Aug. 17, 1623), on the day Hannah died she was then 59 years old, and Ætatis suæ (i.e., Æ, "Aged," in the XX year of her Age) 60, indicating on its face she was born on or after Aug. 9, 1623. However, in the old Julian calendar Aug. 10, 1623 was the 2nd and August 17, 1623 the 3rd Sunday of that month, inferring Hannah was more likely born on or after August 11, 1623 and baptized on the first Sunday following her birth.
