The Mary Tufts who wed Samuel B Osgood (1824 NH-1862 IN) was a granddaughter of William (1750-1849). This Mary Tufts was born in 1832 at Stark, OH, to William James Tufts (1794-1865) & Phylinda Olmstead (1802-1886). The Mary Tufts, born in 1791 NY and who died on 15 Apr 1873 at Lebanon, Clinton, Michigan, was my husband's ancestor. She married Thomas Ainslie & the couple raised their family at Parkman, Geauga, Ohio between 1808 and Thomas' death in 1844. <br /><br />"On 11 Sep 1832, “William Tuffts” appeared before the Court of Common Pleas at Geauga County, Ohio, as a resident of Parkman and being 81 years old, testified under oath seeking benefits provided by an Act of Congress passed 7 Jun 1832."--William's pension file testimony<br /><br />In this record, he stated he had lived at Parkman for 18 months, and one of the two gentlemen who provided testimony as to vouch for the old soldier's character was William's son-in-law, Thomas Ainslie.<br /><br />I would like to set the record straight.<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Loretta Baughan<br />autumnskye@wildblue.netLoretta Baughannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606411506507983809.post-38434408470043745472015-01-07T19:34:59.708-08:002015-01-07T19:34:59.708-08:00Thanks Ken, I'll send you an e-mail. watch for...Thanks Ken, I'll send you an e-mail. watch for the update on this family storyThomas W Tuftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713754079648330007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606411506507983809.post-77686179659385881412015-01-07T16:46:11.815-08:002015-01-07T16:46:11.815-08:00Hello, I have found information on Mary Ann Tuffs ...Hello, I have found information on Mary Ann Tuffs daughter of William Tuffs and wife of Samuel Osgood.
