Notes - Skarka data: m. CA 1755 in Speonk, NY. "Hunter" John came to Speonk with four sons. After settling at Speonk he built a blacksmith shop on the north side of main street (now Remsenburg about across from the new Post Office) but his dwelling house was down on the neck to the south. Later just before the Revolution he bought of Edward [and Sarah] Petty all of Seatuck Neck [consisting of 7 lots which they had received as a grant from the king of England] bounded on the west by Seatuck River, north by Old Country Road, on the east by East Creek and pond and south by the bay. This tract was heavily wooded then except for a small part on the east side where Petty had a small house near the creek on the east side of the neck, down below the road. Silas Skellinger had a mill on the east pond, adjacent to Petty's land and so apparently lived in a house on the east side of east pond. Some of the early houses burned or were later torn down. The two oldest inhabited houses now in Eastport (Southampton Town) are the Wells Tuttle house (first house west of Eastport Gospel Church on the north side of Montauk Highway) and the Cephas Tuttle house which is currently located on the south side of Montauk Highway and south of the third house 345 feet west of River Avenue. The Cephas Tuttle house formerly stood on the north side of Montauk Highway on the west side of Bay Avenue at the junction of these roads. Wells Tuttle (1803-1887) was the son of the above Daniel (1758-1845), and Cephas Tuttle (1808-1891) was grandson of the above John (1756-1814). (History of Eastport, L.I., N.Y. by LeRoy Wilcox). [Inserts by Ruby Brown]. John Served in the Revolutionary War; Minute Man; Lieutenant with Col. Josiah Smith.
In 1775 John built the so-called Wells Tuttle house for his son Daniel. Born in this house were: Wells Tuttle (1803-1887), Jonathan Vail Tuttle (1842-1927), Carrie Wesley Tuttle (1870-1945), Bartlett Vail (Tuttle) Brown (1911-1976), Robert Louis Brown (b. 1934), and Janet Brown (b. 1937). In 1962 this house was sold outside the family to Stanley Durst. The front lawn is presently an unsightly used car lot.
Artillery Company. (Belonging to Col. Smith's Minute Regiment.)
Capt. Wm. Rogers. Capt. Lieut. John Franks. 1st Lieut. Jeremiah Rogers.
2d Lieut. Thos. Baker. Lieut. Fireworker John Tuthill. Commissioned February 20, 1776.
