Elizabeth Tuttle also known by her married name Elizabeth Tuttle Edwards (1645–1691 or after) was Puritan woman who lived in the New Haven Colony in what is now the state of Connecticut.[1] She was brought up in a financially stable home and raised to be a Puritan "goodwife". Her dreams of running her own flouring household, like her mother, were ruined when she married Richard Edwards and was entangled in a sex scandal.[1] The couple were married for 24 years and had six children. Rare for the time, Tuttle was divorced by her husband in 1691 for adultery.
Tuttle and her descendants were subjects in the field of Eugenics by Charles Benedict Davenport and Clarence Darrow, having been the ancestor of many great leaders and educators. Descendants include Robert Treat Paine, signer of the Declaration of Independence, presidents of noted universities, a founder of a law school, an American Civil War general. Pierpont Edwards and Aaron Burr, Vice President of the United States, were said to have inherited defects of her character.[2] Her grandson was Jonathan Edwards, a revivalist preacher known as "America's theologian".[3][4]
