Some Internet sources identify John Tuller as a son of William Tuller (b. Holland) and Margaret (Donaldson) Tuller (b. N.Y.)[1], apparently referring to William Teller and Margaret Duncanson.
There is no basis for associating him with these people as parents. John Tuller's origins are unknown; Jacobus identified John Tuller as "of unknown antecedents."[2]
John Tuller was married to Elizabeth (Case) Lewis, widow of Joseph Lewis, in Simsbury, Connecticut, in about 1684.[2]
By her he fathered Sara, Wm, Mary, Jacob, Samuel and Mehitable "Mabel" Tuller. After her passing he married again, to Hannah Slowman on July 9, 1719 in Simsbury. Served in King Philip's War.
Spouse: Elizabeth Case Tuller (1656 - 1718)
Children: Sarah Tuller Moses (1685 - 1712)* Samuel Tuller (1689 - 1720)* Jacob Tuller (1694 - 1746)* Mehitable Tuller Chidester (1698 - 1761)*
Burial: Hop Meadow Cemetery, also known as Simsbury Cemetery, Simsbury Hartford County Connecticut, USA [1]
In October 1743, Jacob Tullar, administrator on the estate of John Tullar, late of Symsbury, deceased petitioned the Hartford Assembly to sell so much of his lands to pay for his debts.[3]

I've done some more searching (in the periodical literature indexed in AmericanAncestors.org) and I find that John Tuller's parents (and other origins) are not known.
This is from Donald Lines Jacobus, John Lewis of New London, Conn.; Joseph Lewis of Simsbury, Conn., American Genealogist 37[1961]:123-28: "Joseph Lewis, whatever his origin, died at Simsbury, Conn., (before 2 Sept.) 1680; married at Windsor, Conn., 30 Apr. 1674, Elizabeth Case, born about 1658, died at Simsbury 9 Oct. 1718, daughter of John and Sarah (Spencer) Case of Windsor and Simsbury. She married second, about 1684, John Tuller, of unknown antecedents, who survived her, married again, and died at Simsbury, very old, before 28 Jan. 1741/2."
I tried some quick searches. The earliest record I noticed in the Barbour Collection for the Tullers of Simsbury was the birth of this man's son William in 1687.
