Gerald, There is an orchard just off Brookville road in Sugar Creek
Twp.
called Anderson Orchard. I think its on County Line Rd. (800 West or
Carrol Rd.) You might want to contact Dave Mikkelson. He lives in a
historic home on Brookville Rd. Dave and his wife have researched the
road in an effort to preserver it. mikkelson(a)iquest.net

families who came to Hancock County Sugar Creek township .they are
Andersons & Tuttle's, somewhere abouts 1850, Thomas Conant Tuttle and
a,Mr. Brown Anderson along with A , Hayden P Anderson and several other
family members came to Hancock Sugar Creek Indiana, One of the first
things they did was to get started the building of a new road from New
Palestine on the Brookville Road to New Bethel on the Michigan State road,
it was known as the Tuttle Road and was still as far as early 1900's, I am
not sure about now. Then Tuttle and Anderson built a Saw Mill run by Steam
which was the first of it's kind in the County, It was operated by Thomas
Conant Tuttle & Mr. Brown Anderson, Then came the Swamp School House,
Built ,Equipped and run by Thomas Conant Tuttle, Mr. Barnard & a John A.
Leonard,The school was maintained for 5 years by these men as a free
school the first free school in Indiana, But with the
inaugural of The Indiana Free School System!
in 1856, This School House and property passed to the School Township of
Sugar Creek with no Recompense to the original owners, Mr. Tuttle was
Honored by a visit by The Indiana's Governor and committee from The State
legislator, Investigating the workability and success of this school
previous to the passage to enrollment of the Indiana School law, Oliver P
Morton, Indiana's war Governor 1860-1864 frequently called on Mr. Tuttle
,asking for solutions,and advices to the directing of the Home Guards
which Mr. Tuttle was Captain of, On the sixth day of October 1873,
Accident caused by the infraction of a Team of horses,Killed Thomas Conant
Tuttle, This happened on The Old Michigan State Road about 6 miles
southeast of Indianapolis, He left behind His wife Elizabeth Francis
Anderson, she was born May 20th, 1818 I think or 1810 and his children.
This information was taken from a letter written by My Ancestor Alva
Maurice Tuttle, Author of "The Tuttle Tuthill Lines in America!
" , along with a compilation of letters written to Thomas Conant Tuttl
e by his Mother Hannah Jane Elder and to and from His Brothers.and his son
Thomas C Tuttle, I am trying to find out more stories on this family I
have quite a bit on The Tuttle side but not much on The Anderson Side,I am
also looking for a Picture of Thomas C Tuttle and his father Thomas Conant
Tuttle and Mother ,there is a Tin Type photo out there somewhere that the
family of Noble Harris , Leon Davis and
Mary Tuttle Davis, Alva says that this family had these photos some of the
info of the above story came from a Tuttle reunion where a pamphlet was
handed out ,Most of it is true but some which I did not type out, is
untrue, I am not sure where The Tuttle's and Andersons came from when they
moved to Sugar Creek I believe it was Ohio which is where Thomas Conant
Tuttle served aboard the Steamboats for 18 years he also was a sailor
among the east coast from Maine until he found his way to the Steamboats,
His father and Mother were from Bangor Maine, Josiah, Thomas Conants
father died in Bangor, I am trying to find out where he is buried there in
Bangor, if anybody can verify or add to this story or sees people they
have heard of mentioned in the above please contact me . Bye 4 now
