PECK, who died in Austinburg, January 2, 1899, was one of the ablest and most cultured men who ever resided in Austinburg township, Ashtabula county, and his widow, Mrs. Charlotte (Tuttle) Peck, was well fitted by education and character to be his companion and assistant in every activity of life. Mr. Peck was a grandson of Captain Crawley, who participated in the tea episode in Boston harbor, and his parents were Lucius and Abbie (Crawley) Peck. He received his higher education at Farmington Institute and Oberlin College; taught school for twenty years, and traveled quite extensively in Mexico and the south. The main business of his life was farming, and his homestead of 100 acres presented every evidence of the care of the practical husbandman, and also carried with it the atmosphere of refinement which surrounded the personalities of both Mr. and Mrs. Peck. Throughout nearly all his mature life the husband also was in public service as a school director, notary public, trustee, justice of the peace or in some other capacity which brought him both deep respect and wide popularity. On the 5th of November, 1850, Mr. Peck wedded Miss Charlotte I. Tuttle, daughter of Ira and Charry (Mills) Tuttle, of a fine old Connecticut family which was established in the Western Reserve as early as 1809. Her grandfathers are the only Revolutionary soldiers who now lie buried in Austinburg township; and the record of the Tuttle family is altogether so interesting that further details are given hereafter. Mrs. Peck attended Grand River Institute, in Austinburg township, for six and a half years, and in early life was a student of law. She was a teacher in the district schools for several years before her marriage and for twenty years taught music. For more than half a century she has also been a contributor to the local papers, especially to the Jefferson Sentinel. As has been noted, her family history should fix a place for her in the ranks of the Daughters of the Revolution. She attended the Centennial in Cleveland, being a delegate to the Convention of Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve. Despite the many duties of a social, literary and charitable nature which devolve upon her she actively superintends the old family farm which was cleared by her father 100 years ago in May, 1909. Ira Tuttle, the father mentioned, was born in Torringford, Connecticut, April 2, 1788, and in 1809, when twenty-one years of age, came to the Western Reserve on foot, leading a cow and driving a pair of oxen. The former proved of especial value when the young man reached his destination, as for several weeks before he returned to Connecticut he lived almost entirely on berries and milk. Having determined on the site of a homestead in the new country, he returned to Connecticut on foot, and in 1810 brought his parents to the Reserve, the journey being made in a huge covered wagon drawn by six yoke of oxen. The homestead was first established near Mill Creek, on the land which he got from the Connecticut Land Company, and he lived there always. It was 600 acres in Austinburg township, Ashtabula county; at that time the locality was known as Richfield and six Indian camps were found to be located on the future homestead of the Tuttle family. The parents of the young pioneer who thus established the family in the middle west were Major Clement and Abigail (Dutton) Tuttle, the military title being well earned by brave service in the Revolutionary war. While the Tuttles were clearing and improving their homestead in the wilds of northern Ohio, they were equally faithful to their religious obligations, the parents being such regular attendants of the church in Austinburg township that they missed but one Sunday's service in more than thirty years. On the 23d of April, 1808, Ira Tuttle married Miss Charry Mills, born January 19, 1788. whose father, as stated, was also a soldier in the Revolutionary war. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ira Tuttle were as follows: Harriet N., born November 30. 1814, who became the wife of Henry Paine, of Painesville; Bradford. who was born July 7. 1810; Eben M., born September 22, 1812: George, born March 24, 1817; Harman, who was born March 25, 1821, and died March 1, 1889; and Charlotte I., Mrs. Lucius W. Peck, who was born March 3, 1830. (info provided by Msmith #47320929)
