He lived on Dover Neck, where his great-grand son, Joseph Tuttle, now lives. He died, at the early age of twentysix years, of bleeding. Judge Tuttle, being Town Clerk, made the following entry among the records of death. "James Tuttle, son of John Tuttle, of Dover, by his wife Mary, born 7 April, Anno Dom. 1683, and died 15 May, 1709. being the first day of the week about 3 o'clock in the afternoon." Rev.

Of Ebenezer, son of Judge John and Mary Tuttle, and his children, there is so much wanting, and so many conflicting statements, that it is judged best, for the present, to omit giving an imperfect sketch of them. The late Hon. Wentworth Tuttle, Councillor and Senator of Maine, was a grandson. 6 6 [All dates in this genealogy prior to 1751, are Old Style.

[The original in possession of WILLIAM CHADBOURNE, of Boston.[ THE following in relation to Andrew McMillan, afterwards promoted to the office of Colonel of the militia, is taken from Bouton's History of Concord, N. H., page 565. This work was published in 1856. "Col. Andrew McMillan, whose name often occurs in the town records previous to 1775, was an intelligent, enterprising business man, and a worthy citizen. He came to this country from Ireland, about the year 1754; received a lieutenant's commission, dated Lake George, June 26, 1758, from Gen. James Abercromby, in the independent company of Rangers,' of which Jonathan Burbank was captain, and is said to have been with Rogers in the expedition against St. Francois, in 1759. He married Hannah Osgood, of Rumford, daughter of the widow James Osgood, November 12, 1761 The same year he commenced trade in the store that now stands on the north-east corner of Main and Pleasant streets, which was then a small one-story shop, standing as it now does, partly on the street. Here he continued to trade for several years; one year in partnership with Timothy Walker, Jr., and afterwards with John Stevens, who added a second story to it. In 1767 or 1768, he and Gen. Stark received each a grant of land from the Provincial Government, in consideration of their services in the old French war, located in the town of Conway and vicinity. In August, 1774, he removed to Conway, to take possession of his extensive landed property, where two of his wife's brothers, James and Benjamin Osgood, of Concord, a few years before had preceded him. Here, in the cultivation of one of the most valuable farms on Saco river (where his only remaining son, Gilbert McMillan, Esq., now resides), he passed the rest of his life-repeatedly representing the town in the State Legislature, and faithfully discharging his duty as a citizen and a magistrate. He died November 6, 1800, aged 70 years. His wife died in 1827, aged 84." T. By His Excellency James Abercromby, Esq., Colonel of His Majesty's Forty-Fourth Regiment of Foot; Colonel in Chief of the Royal American Regiment; Major General and Commander in Chief of all His Majesty's Forces raised or to be raised in North America, &c. &c. &c. To Andrew McMullin, Gent. Whereas it may be of great use to his Majesty's Service, in the Operations now Carrying on for Recovering His Rights in America, to have a Number of Men employ'd in obtaining Intelligence of the Strength, Situation, and Motions of the Enemy, as well as other Services for which Rangers, or Men acquainted with the Woods, only are fitt; I do, by Virtue of the Power and Authority to me given by His Majesty, hereby constitute and appoint You, the said Andrew McMullin, to be Lieutenant to that Independent Company of Rangers, whereof Jonathan Bourbank, Esq., is Captain; You are therefore carefully and diligently to discharge the Duty of Lieutenant, by Exercising and well disciplining both the Inferior Officers and Soldiers of that Company; And I do hereby command them to obey You as their Lieutenant; And You are to observe and follow such Orders and Directions from Time to Time as You shall receive from His Majesty, Myself, or any other Your Superior Officer, according to the Rules and Discipline of War.

[From a Bible in the possession of DANIEL C. COLESworthy.] THE following family will be found in the Greenleaf Genealogy, pp. 32 and 106, in the Chauncey Memorial, p. 58; but this record furnishes some dates that are not given in either of those works. The word "dead" against two of the entries, and the two foot notes, are in a different handwriting. July 234, 1768. Eliz Greenleaf, died in yo 38th year of her age, July 12, 1769. THE EARLIEST NEWSPAPER.-The first news sheet was printed at Nuremburg, in 1534. A copy was sold in London, during the last year, which belonged to the Libri Collection. Its title is "New Tidings from Spain and Italy; "a duplicate of it is in the British Museum. The first newspaper issued in America, was called the "Boston News Letter." It was published by John Campbell, in Boston, April 24, 1704. THE OLDEST HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY.-Is there any proof above mere conjecture that the Cradock House, so called, in Medford, Mass., is the oldest in the country-or, indeed, that it was built by Gov. Cradock? If so, what and where is it? Great antiquity is claimed for a house in Guilford, Ct. Which is the older? Died, Feb. 13, 1829. W. W. + Married, 13 Jan. 1780; died, 16 Jan. 1829.
