    Historical Notes letters written by Joan Tuttle from Ireland:
    On 3 October 1656, writing from Carrickfergus to "my dear & loving daughter Jane Gidding at Ipswich," "Joanna Tuttell" referred to "my last dated in February" and then asked to "hear how your breach is made up in respect of the ministry which I long to hear, if you have Mr. Cobete I pray present my love to him and tell him I live under a very honest man, where I enjoy the ordinance of God in New England way"; "I hear Richard S[a]chwell hath paid no rent, I pray speak to him and get it £48, send me word what increase there is of our mare and whether Thomas Bornum have groundsilled the house or not"; "Simon deals very bad with his father, he lies at Barbados and sends no returns but spends all, his father will have no more goods sent to him, I could wish I had no such cause to write, I think he & John intends to undo their father" [EQC 2:174; EQCF 5-31-1].
    On 6 April 1657, writing from Carrickfergus to "her loving son Gorg Giding dwelling in Ips[wich]," "Joanna Tuttell" stated that "these are to let you understand that the Lord hath taken to himself my dear husband & left me desolate in a strange land and in debt by reason of Siman's keeping the returns from Barbadous, grief that he hath taken for his two sons hath brought upon him a lingering disease, lost his stomach and pined away never sick till the day before he died which was the 30th of December. I pray talk with Mr. Jeuett about that which I left with you & him this 3 years. I have not heard of anything that he hath done I cannot hear of the cattle nor what increase the mare hath nor the rent. I pray let things be ready for I have writ to John Lawrence to take them into his hands. If Simon or John should come let not them meddle with anything there, my husband hath given them something in his will which I shall pay them, now I will keep the estate in my own hand as long as I live. It may be I may see New England again. I pray look to my house that it be not ruined. Hanna is to be married shortly to a good husband, one that loves her well and a handsome man" [EQC 2:173; EQCF 5-30-1].
    On 20 March 1657[/8], writing from Carrickfergus to "her beloved son Mr. George Gidding at Ipswich," "Joanna Tuttell" stated that "I wonder I hear nothing from Mr. Juete. I hear he improves my estate to his own advantage. I prayed him to pay my son Martain £12 in good goods and he let him have nothing but beef that none else would take. I pray you to take care of my estate at Ips[wich] and let not him do what he list but take account of what he doth. There is 4 years rent this March
    which comes to above a hundred pound"; "I am to remove again 16 miles nearer my son that married my daughter Hannah, [he] hath the employment that my husband was in the treasury, is removed to another town"; "If I should come to New England I fear I should go abegging if reports be true my estate decays apace for want of looking to"; "I pray send no goods to Simon. I hear that of him which will bring my gray head with sorrow to the grave" [EQC 2:142-43; EQCF 4-139-1].
    Joan (Antrobus) (Lawrence) Tuttle was still in New England on 18 March 1653/4, when she mortgaged land at Ipswich [EQC 2:365]. She must have left to join her husband in Ireland soon after that date, for, on 6 April 1657, she asked her son-in-law George Gidding to "talk with Mr. Jeuett about that which I left with you & him this 3 year" [EQC 2:173].
    Her sons Simon Tuttle and John Tuttle were at Barbados in 1656, 1657 and 1658, at the times of her three letters from Ireland. Simon returned to New England in 1659 [EQC 2:141-43, 171-74] and, despite his mother's dislike of his handling of the family's affairs in Barbados, he was given control of his father's estate that same year, while his mother was still alive [EQC 2:178, 335; EPR 1:277-78]. Son John was last heard of on 6 April 1657, when he was still in Barbados, and was dead by 4 April 1674 [EQC 2:173, 5:292]; further records for him might be found in Barbados.  [1
