I am pleased to report that there are a lot of Tuttles on the Internet.
The Tuttle name is probably taken from the name of a locality in England.
Tuttle may be derived from the word Tuthill, meaning a conical hill,
of remote antiquity in England. Nevertheless,
I am not descended from the Tuttles who came to America
in the 1630's,
nor I am not descended from Peter Tuttle who came to America
in 1680,
nor I am not descended from J. M. Tuttle,
born in 1861
in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
I am not related to anyone at the firm of Hewitt & Tuttle which once employed
John D. Rockefeller at $3.50 a week.
I am in the insurance business, and there are lots of Tuttles also in the
insurance business such as
Tuttle & Traina Insurance Agency in Massachusetts,
Wollam Insurance Agency whose president is William Tuttle,
Joan Tuttle Insurance Agency,
Tuttle & Cromer Insurance Agency,
The Tuttle Insurance Agency, and
Tuttle and Williams Agency;
but none of them is related to me.
It won't help to use my name to get a job through the
Tuttle (employment) Agency.

"The Barber," Mr. Tuttle
interviews George for a job but George wasn't sure if Tuttle hired him or not so
George shows up at the office anyway while Tuttle is on vacation.
George works on the Pensky file, and later threatens to go to work for Pensky,
even though Tuttle scoffs,"You're not Pensky material."
It turns out Pensky couldn't hire him because the board of directors
had been indicted.
