In Response To: Land, ca. 1845 (Steve Rowley)

Elsewhere on this web site in the History of Marion County, 1915 you find:

Tuttle located near where Pella now stands in May, 1843. His wife helped him to build a small cabin in the timber north of the town, and soon afterward he took up a claim that included part of the site of the city, erecting his claim pen on what afterward became "Garden Square." This pen, or cabin, remained standing and was occupied part of the time for several years after the city had grown up around it.

In August, 1843, Abram, James, Samuel and William Buffington settled about three miles north of Tuttle, not far from the Skunk River, and the neighborhood was known for years as the "Buffington Settlement." They were Mr. Tuttle's nearest neighbors for more than a year.
