  --To date, nothing has been found on this family apart from that which follows. A John Tufft & wife Martha had two children baptized at Christ Church in Philadelphia in the mid-1770's. The surname may translate to something not yet searched for. It should be noted that OC records may exist past 1791. Orphans Court 25 Mar 1791: Estate of Thomas Tuffts, late of Earl tp., yeoman --Petition of Administrator Martha Tuffts: Said Thomas Tuffts died intestate in May 1788 seized in possession of 57A Earl tp. and also a house in the city of Philadelphia.
