A family life

Sarah Anne Tuttle

1819–1894

Sarah’s documented family life is clearer than the question of who her parents were.

The institutional record gives Sarah’s life as 1819–1894 and places her with Cyrus Card in the 1856 Edmund Ellsworth company. Published family history also identifies her as Charles Ora Card’s mother.

Her parentage remains a research problem. Jesse Tuttle and Dinah/Diana Holcomb Gillett are one proposed pair; Daniel Tuttle and Elizabeth Babb are another. The site does not turn either hypothesis into an established ancestral path.
