Earliest Mentions in the Records

The first mention of the surname SHUTLER in the Merriott records was a marriage of an Odcombe man:   In November 1656 John Shuttler  (Of Odcomb) married  Elizabeth Chaffey.

As there were no baptisms locally for John & Elizabeth, presumably they raised any family they had back at Odcombe.

Towards the end of the 18th century, one family appeared, baptising children:

John & Mary Shutler Baptism 11 December 1692 Mary
Baptism 5 March 1699 John
Birth 17 February 1699 John		 Baptism  2 April 1705 Ann
Baptism  (date not given) 1708 John

There were also a few burials:

25 October 1691 Mary 3 February 1695 John 2 February 1700 Elizabeth

Hardly an auspicious beginning for a family whose surname rated 12th most common in Merriott by the time of the 19th century censuses!  
On 1 July  1708 Rob Shutler married Mary Maning, but this couple did not baptise children at Merriott.
