  Biography	From Tuttle - Tuthill Lines in America: Symon Tootill or Toutills of Ringstead, co Northampton, born say 1560, buried at Ringstead, 15 June 1630; married Isabel Wells, born about 1565, daughter of John Wells of Ringstead, who mentioned her in his will in 1618. Symon was mentioned in his father's will in 1589 and in that of his father-in-law in 1618. The will of John Wells also named all [five] of his Tuttell grandsons. Symon was supervisor of the will of Matthew Harris of Woodford, 5 Nov 1600. His own will was proved 1630 at Northampton. His widow accompanied her sons on the "Planter" in 1635, but no record of her has been in this country, and probably she did not long survive.
