Mercy TUTTLE

Notes:

Name:
"Connecticut Ancestry": Mercy Tuttle was the second ax murderer in this family, murdering her son Samuel Brown Jr. at Wallingford on 23 Jun 1691 when she was almost 41 years old and her son only 17. The son died of his injuries 6 days later. There was no question of her guilt, but because of the confusion of law and authority resulting from the removal of Governor Andros in 1689, Mercy somehow escaped execution for this murder and was still living in 1695.

Mercy married Samuel BROWN on 02 May 1667 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Samuel was christened on 7 Aug 1645 in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut; died on 04 Nov 1691 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
