Annes brother Benjamin Tuttle was executed for the slaying of his sister Sarah. The Connecticut Archives contain documents relating to this affair in the categories "Private Controversies" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors." Among them is a letter written in 1678 by the unhappy mother, who at the age of 68, sitting in the big chair before the fire, had seen her son kill his sister with an axe. [comment: Jacobus erred slightly here, only in regard to the mother sitting by the fire, etc. The murder occurred at Sarah's home in Stamford, and it was Sarah sitting by the fire. Her sons eyewitness account of the murder, see addenda to this item, was included in the courts account that apparently was misinterpreted by Jacobus.]

In the letter, in connection with the property of her son Benjamin, she tells of the distribution of her husbands estate and of Benjamin's portion, and then speaks of a debt due her from her son John Hurd of Stratford.

In the inventory of her own estate (1684) is mentioned "a rug not entered their sister Herd had" and "another rug Symon had." What daughter could Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle have had, sister to Simon and the other Tuttle children, who married John Hurd? Only Anne is available. There were two John Hurds in Stratford. The elder, probably as a childless widower, married 1 Dec. 1662 Sarah Thompson, who survived his death (4 Feb. 1681/2) and remarried. His nephew, John Hurd "Jr.," married 10 Dec. 1662 Ann, widow of Joshua Judson. By Judson she had three children, two sons whose births in 1658 ad 1660 are on record, and a daughter, presumably older than the sons and born about 1656 since she married about 1676.

The marriage of Joshua Judson to his wife Ann must therefore be surmised as having occurred about 1654-5. That accords well with the baptism of William Tuttles daughter Anne in England in 1633. The youngest Hurd child was born in 1673, when Anne Tuttle was 40 years old. Hence both the name and age admit of the identification of Anne Tuttle with the wife (successively) of Joshua Judson and John Hurd "Jr."

The final proof is in the Woodbury land records. The Hurds had six children born and recorded in Stratford. One of these was Benjamin in 1666/7, another was Ebenezer in 1668. On 29 Apr. 1688, John Hurd and his wife were admitted to the Woodbury Church from Stratford. John Hurd conveyed 23 Mar. 1686/7 to his sons Joseph and Benjamin, they to maintain John and his wife for seven years [Woodbury Deeds, 1:100]. He died before 20 Dec. 1690, when an agreement respecting his estate was made by Anna Hurd "Widdow," and the four [surviving] children, Joseph, Benjamin, Ebenezer and Sarah Hurd [ib., 4:12].

In a recording of the lands of Benjamin Hurd in Woodbury [ib., 1:46], we read "Benj Hurd by way of exchange with his uncle Nathaniel Tuttle hath 3 1/5 acres... in two parcells... layd out 11 May 1696." Also [ib., 1:49], "12 of 10 Mo. 1698. Ebenezer Hurd by... exchange with uncle Nathaniel Tuttle hath purchased 3 acres of wood division... as also such a part of his sd uncles land next northward from what he purchased of Benjamin and Ebenezer Hurd." Then, in a listing of Tuttles land, we find [ib., 1:57, 58] "Mr. Nathaniel Tuttle by way of exchange with his Couzen Benj Hurd," and "Mr. Nathaniel Tuttle by way of exchange with his Couzen Ebenr Hurd hath purchased 3 1/2 acres" etc.

Nathaniel Tuttle (1652/3-1721) of Woodbury is known as the youngest of the twelve children of William and Elizabeth Tuttle. Since his mother called John Hurd of Stratford her "son"; since he and is brothers and sisters had a "sister Herd"; since John and Anna Hurd of Stratford and Woodbury had sons Benjamin and Ebenezer; and since Nathaniel Tuttle was uncle of Benjamin and Ebenezer Hurd; it is proved that Nathaniel's sister Anne Tuttle was the wife of John Hurd.
