Holly Waterman, My Very Helpful Cousin-Researcher From Dartmouth University
Nadene Goldfoot
New England where our Robinsons came fromHolly Kay Waterman was the most helpful researcher of Robinson for me. She was a cousin who was the librarian at Dartmouth. University in Hanover, New Hampshire. She drove to Vermont on occasion looking in state records for our ancestors.
Holly was born in 1956, slightly younger than my own two children. She died of cancer sometime after 2014.
Holly's mother was Irma Alice Tullar who is on our Tuller/ar trees. She was born Oct 16, 1926 in Cornith Center, Orange, Vermont. Tunbridge is also in Orange, Vermont and next door to Royalton, Windham, Vermont. Irma's father was Charles Earnest Tullar b: 1888 in Vershire, Orange, Vermont. His father was George Albert Tullar b: 1857 also in Vershire, but died in Cornith, Vermont. His father was Rogers Harrison Tullar b;1919 St. Albans, Bay, and finally, his father was a Samuel Tuller/Tullar b: 1786 of St Albans, Franklin, Vermont. That must be where the separation of the Tullers came to be. The story I heard was that there was a disagreement and one line became er and the other ar. Only DNA can tell us a story about it and no one has reached this time or taken the test. His father was Reuben Tuller/ar b; 1751 in Simsbury, Hartford, Connecticut, and his father was James Tuller/ar b: 1713 of either Bedford County, England or already in Simsbury, CT.
William Tuller, b: 1687 was in Simsbury as well for birth and death. So was his father, John Tulloe Tuller b: 1642-1659 in Simsbury, CT. Lastly, William Tuller was born in Holland (Nederlands) in came over in 1620--on one of the ships after Mayflower maybe in the fleet in 1630 and arrived in New York.
Confusion of "Teller" and "Tuller"
Some Internet sources identify "William Tuller" (apparently referring to this man) and Margaret Donaldson (apparently referring to Margaret Duncanson) as the parents of John Tuller of Simsbury, Connecticut (born about 1652). There is no basis for this association. John Tuller's origins are unknown; Donald Lines Jacobus identified John Tuller as "of unknown antecedents."
