The Tolivers of Lawrence & Orange Counties, Indiana

 

 

This surname has many different spellings, with some of the more common spellings being Toliver, Tolliver, Tolivar and Tolovar.  Many times, an individual’s surname would be spelled differently in various records.  This document uses a standard spelling of Toliver.  Researchers should decide for themselves which spelling is appropriate for a specific person.

 

Chapter one covers John Toliver, the earliest family member that I feel comfortable listing.  Even at that, there are many unanswered questions about him.  Chapters two through eight cover his seven children that I am fairly sure of, although there may have been more.

Chapter One: John Toliver

 

 

First Generation

 

1.  John Toliver1–5 was born about 1725.  He was probably born in Virginia.


His given name is subject to debate, but it is likely that his name was either John or William, since those are the only two Toliver males who appear on tax lists of the correct time period.  There is circumstantial evidence supporting both names, although John seems the stronger to the two. 

Jesse Toliver's pension application file includes a Bible page which suggests that his father's name was John Toliver - the name written at the top of the page.  A land entry in Wilkes Co. dated June 3, 1778 (Entry #159) states that Jesse Tolover entered 300 acres on Mulberry waters on both sides of road leading from John Robbins, Sr. over to Roaring River Settlement, "being improvement John Tolover, Sr. now lives on."  This implies that there was indeed a senior John Toliver in Wilkes Co. who may have been Jesse's father. 

Around 1770, at least three of the brothers - Moses, Jesse and John - and perhaps all five of the brothers, moved from Virginia to North Carolina, east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Their father was still living at the time, and is believed to have been a part of the move.

Following the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780, the Toliver brothers, their mother (who is not named) and other family members moved west of the Blue Ridge mountains to the part of Wilkes that later became Ashe and still later Alleghany County.  There was no mention of the father.  If William Toliver (1730-1774) was the father, his death in 1774 fits the absence of the father in 1780.  Also, there is a William Toliver on tax lists in Surry County (Wilkes was formed from Surry in 1777)  in 1771 and 1772.  Of course, to "muddy the waters" a bit, there is also a Dr. John Taliaferro there during the same years.

The Family Tree DNA Project lists him as William Toliver, Sr.  DNA from the descendants of Jesse, Charles, William, and Moses Toliver shows that these men were either brothers or cousins through the male line.  Their genetic "markers" indicate that their common male ancestor was European.  DNA from descendants of John Toliver did not match the others and may be Mediterranean/Spanish in origin.  Because the more traditional genealogical evidence (censuses, land records, etc.) indicates there was a connection between John Toliver and the other brothers, it is possible that he was their cousin on the maternal side or that there could be a "break" in the male line somewhere between John Toliver and the descendant whose DNA was tested, such as an adoption, step-child, or out-of-wedlock birth.  Revolutionary War pension application affidavits state that John, Moses, and Jesse were brothers.

Nell Watson Sherman's book, Taliaferro-Toliver Family Records, lists him as Charles Toliver, the son of Charles Taliaferro and Ann Kemp, with siblings Moses, Jesse, John, and William.  However, her account has generally been discredited.  Charles Taliaferro's book, The Taliaferro Family - Three Centuries in America lists Mildred and Kemp as the children of Charles and Ann.  Velma T. Parmerton reports that Charles Taliaferro's Essex County will is quite explicit - the only children were Mildred, Kemp, and Sarah.  Also, this Charles died in 1721, too early to have fathered any of the "five brothers".

The DNA obtained from the Toliver descendants does NOT match the DNA obtained from Robert Taliaferro's known descendants.  This shows that the Tolivers of North Carolina are NOT descendants of Robert Taliaferro, at least not in the direct male line.  They could be descendants of a Taliaferro female who had a child born out of wedlock or descendants of an unrelated family who adopted the Taliaferro/Toliver name, but this is entirely speculative.

 

Some researchers have reported that he immigrated to Lawrence County, Indiana, although this has not been proven.   If he did, he likely came with his son Charles, who brought his family from Ashe County, North Carolina in 1815.

 

He died on June 24, 1821 at the age of 96. Researchers who believe that John migrated to Lawrence County have reported that he is buried in Freedom Cemetery, Lawrence County, Indiana, but no supporting evidence has been found.  It is possible that he was buried in Allegheny County, North Carolina.

 

John Toliver and [Unknown] were married Unknown.  [Unknown] was born Unknown.  Some postings on Ancestry.com list her as Elizabeth Symes.  However, no supporting evidence is given.  She died Unknown.

Chapter Two: Moses Toliver

 

First Generation

 

1.  Moses Toliver14 was born about 1754 in Virginia, United States. Some researchers believe he was born in Fauquier County.

 

He appeared in the census in 1787 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  This state census listed 3 males under 21, 1 male 21-60 and 3 females.  He appeared in the census in 1790 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  It lists 4 males under 16, 1 male 16-up and 3 females.  He appeared in the census in 1800 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  It lists 2 males under 10, 2 males 10-15, 2 males 16-25, 1 male over 44, 1 female under 10 and 1 female 26-44.  Ashe County split from Wilkes County in 1799.

 

Moses appeared in the following public records:

  1774-84 tax lists for Surry County, North Carolina.
  June 3, 1778, he entered a land claim for 100 acres on Mulberry Creek in Wilkes County, North Carolina
   (land entry book 158). 
  June 12, 1779, Moses sold Jesse 100 acres of land.
  October 27, 1782, he and wife Elizabeth conveyed the 100 acres to Abraham Edins (deed book A1, page 234).
   They appear to have moved to the south fork of the New River, near Jefferson, Ashe County, North Carolina.
  1810 & 1812 tax lists for Warren County, Tennessee (these are the last written records of Moses).

The early censuses indicate that Moses and Elizabeth had 8 children - 6 boys and 2 girls.  None of the 8 children have been proven, but circumstantial evidence suggests that Joel, John and Jesse were three of the children.  This is based on shared locations of Moses, Joel, John and Jesse.  Also, DNA from descendants of Joel, John and Jesse are a match.

He died on April 20, 1821 at the age of 67. This date comes from son John's family Bible.  Nell Watson Sherman interviewed older family members in Indiana around 1960, while writing her book, Taliaferro-Toliver Family Records.  They stated that Moses died on his way to Indiana and that Elizabeth and her son John completed the trip.  John moved from North Carolina to Kentucky, then to Tennessee, then to Alabama, then to Indiana, and eventually to Illinois.  Moses and Elizabeth must have accompanied him on his journey.  Some researchers believe that Moses left for Indiana from North Carolina in 1815, probably traveling with his brother Charles.  However, Charles arrived in Indiana in 1816, well before Moses died, so this scenario is very unlikely.  There is a Find-A-Grave memorial for Moses at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence County, Indiana.  There is no grave stone picture.  It is unknown if he is actually buried there.  If the people Nell Watson Sherman interviewed were correct, it seems unlikely.

 

Moses Toliver and Elizabeth [Unknown] were married about 1776 in North Carolina, United States.  Elizabeth [Unknown]45 was born about 1755.  Some Ancestry.com postings list her surname as Stamper or Connelly, but offer no supporting evidence.  The Tolliver Family website states that marriage records make it clear that Connelly was not her surname.  She died on August 28, 1827 at the age of 72 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  This date comes from son John's family Bible.  There is a Find-A-Grave memorial for Elizabeth at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence County, Indiana.  There is no grave stone picture.  It is unknown if she is actually buried there.

 

Moses Toliver and Elizabeth [Unknown] had the following children:

 

              2              i.   Joel Toliver, born between 1776 and 1780.

              3             ii.   John Toliver, born April 20, 1780.

              4            iii.   Jesse Toliver, born between 1790 and 1800.

 

Second Generation

 

2.   Joel Toliver2,4,6 was born between 1776 and 1780 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.

 

It has not been proven that Joel was a son of Moses, but circumstantial evidence suggests that he was.  Some of this is based on shared locations of Moses, Joel, John and Jesse that suggest they were closely related.  Also, DNA from descendants of Joel, John and Jesse are a match.

He appeared in the census in 1840 in Morgan, Kentucky, United States.  It lists 1 male 50-60 and 1 female 40-50.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Division 1, Breathitt, Kentucky, United States.  It lists Joel (80) and Lucy (85).

 

Joel died Unknown in Breathitt, Kentucky, United States.

 

Joel Toliver and Hannah Sebastian were married Unknown.  Hannah Sebastian4 was born between 1776 and 1780 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  She died Unknown in Kentucky, United States.

 

Joel Toliver and Lucy Lakin were married on July 3, 1837 in Morgan, Kentucky, United States.  Lucy Lakin2,4,6 was born between 1790 and 1800 in North Carolina, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Division 1, Breathitt, Kentucky, United States.  She died Unknown.

 

3.   John Toliver24,710 was born on April 20, 1780 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  Some sources report his birth place as Ashe County.

 

It has not been proven that John was a son of Moses, but circumstantial evidence suggests that he was.  Some of this is based on shared locations of Moses, Joel, John and Jesse that suggest they were closely related.  Also, DNA from descendants of John, Jesse and Joel are a match.

John lived in Ashe County, North Carolina, Warren County, Tennessee, Madison County, Alabama, Lawrence County Indiana, and finally Clay County, Illinois.  Some researcher have reported that John donated the land for Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence County, Indiana, before moving to Clay County, Illinois.  The accuracy of this information is unknown.

 

He appeared in the census in 1820 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 2 males 0-10, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-45, 3 females 0-10 and 1 female 26-45.  He appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 1 male 0-5, 2 males 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 40-50, 1 female 0-5 and 1 female 40-50.  He appeared in the census in 1840 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists 1 male 5-10, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 60-70, 1 female 10-15 and 1 female 50-60.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists John (69), Saloma (68), James Nelson (15) [relationship unknown], and grandchildren George Davis (14), Ruth Brown (10) and James Brown (9).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Louisville, Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists John (78), Sylvania (70), Nelson (25), Angeline (20) and William (1).   The surname is spelled Taliaferro.

 

John died on April 21, 1863 at the age of 83 in Louisville, Clay, Illinois, United States.  He was buried at Tolliver Cemetery in Clay, Illinois, United States.


John's Bible, last known to be in the possession of great-grandson Walter Toliver, reported "John and Saloma were married in the month of November, 1801, in Ashe County, North Carolina, on the waters of Little River.  Two children were born there.  Then moved from there to Kentucky, from there to Tennessee, from there to Alabama, and from there to Indiana, and from there to Illinois, and remained there at this time (dated) Sept. 1852".  He also wrote "My father died April 20, 1821 and my mother died August 28, 1827."

John Toliver and Saloma Miller were married on November 1, 1801 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  Saloma Miller2,79,11 was born about 1781 in North Carolina, United States.  The date is based on the censuses.  The date would be November 14, 1786 based on the age and death date from the cemetery transcription.  She appeared in the census in 1820 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  She died on August 1, 1858 at the age of 77 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  She was buried at Tolliver Cemetery in Clay, Illinois, United States.

 

John Toliver and Saloma Miller had the following children:

 

              5              i.   Christine Toliver, born November 2, 1802.

              6             ii.   Sarah "Sally" Toliver, born December 12, 1804.

              7            iii.   Anna Toliver, born June 10, 1807.

              8            iv.   Martin Toliver, born March 28, 1809.

           14             x.   George Washington Toliver, born March 22, 182.

           15            xi.   Catharine Toliver, born August 13, 1827.

 

John Toliver and Sylvania Cude were married on July 24, 1859 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States (book C, page 580).  Sylvania Cude2,4,6 was born about 1790 in North Carolina, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Shawswick Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States. It lists Sylvania Lewis (55), widow, living with son Robert.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Louisville, Clay, Illinois, United States.  She died on September 9, 1863 at the age of 73 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  Her Find A Grave memorial reports that she died in 1853.  However, the stone is in rough condition and may have been misread.  The marriage index and the 1860 census indicate that she was living well past the 1853 date.  She was buried at Sheeks Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She was buried with her first husband, Robert Lewis.   Her grave stone was inscribed with the following: "was born in Guilford Co. North Carolina and emigrated and settled in New Albany, Ind in 1810."

 

4.   Jesse Toliver2,4 was born between 1790 and 1800 in North Carolina, United States.

 

It has not been proven that Jesse was a son of Moses, but circumstantial evidence suggests that he was.  Some of this is based on shared locations of Moses, Joel, John and Jesse that suggest they were closely related.  Also, DNA from descendants of Jesse, John and Joel are a match.

He appeared in the census in 1830 in Morgan, Alabama, United States.  It lists 1 male under 5, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, 2 females 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20 and 1 female 40-50.

 

He died before September 21, 1835 at the age of 45 in Morgan, Alabama, United States.  Alfred Toliver was appointed administrator of Jesse's estate on this date, so Jesse was clearly deceased by this time.

 

Jesse Toliver and Hannah [Unknown] were married about 1811 in Tennessee, United States.  Hannah [Unknown] was born about 1790 in North Carolina, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Morgan, Alabama, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in District 7, Lawrence, Alabama, United States.  It lists Hannah (60), Elizebeth Toliver Dement (28) and William (20), living next door to son William.  She died Unknown.

 

Third Generation

 

5.  Christine Toliver2,4,6 was born on November 2, 1802 in North Carolina, United States.

 

She appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Township 5 Range 6, Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists Christina [Hall] (62) and children George Davis (25) and Ruth (20) and James (18) Brown.

 

She died on February 27, 1870 at the age of 67 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

 

Christine Toliver and Bluford Gatliff Davis were married on June 3, 1819 in Madison, Alabama, United States (vol. 2, page 295).  They were divorced by 1835, based on the fact that Bluford remarried that year.  Bluford Gatliff Davis2,4,6 was born in 1799 in Kentucky, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 2 males under 5, 1 male 20-29, 1 female 5-9, 1 female 10-14 and 1 female 20-29.  He died on March 11, 1870 at the age of 71 in Coles, Illinois, United States.

 

Bluford Gatliff Davis and Christine Toliver had the following child:

 

           16              i.   George Washington Davis, born November 17, 1835.

 

Christine Toliver and Joseph Brown were married on January 24, 1836 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States (book A, page 580).  Joseph Brown4,6 was born Unknown.  He died Unknown.

 

Joseph Brown and Christine Toliver had the following children:

 

           17              i.   Ruth Brown, born about 1840.

           18             ii.   James Brown, born about 1841.

 

Christine Toliver and Joseph Hall were married on May 3, 1850 in Clay, Illinois, United States. (vol. A, page 35). Joseph Hall6,12 was born between 1794 and 1804. He died before 1860 at the age of 66.

 

6.  Sarah "Sally" Toliver2,4,6,13 was born on December 12, 1804 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.

 

She appeared in the census in 1840 in Clay, Illinois, United States. She appeared in the census in 1850 in Clay & Richland District, Clay, Illinois, United States. Sally appeared in the census in 1860 in Township 5 Range 6, Clay, Illinois, United States. It lists Sarah [Krows] (55), William (24) and James (22).

 

She died on March 13, 1886 at the age of 81 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States. This data has not been proven.

 

Sarah "Sally" Toliver and Winston Krows were married on March 21, 1823 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States (book A, page 83).  Winston Krows2,4,6,11 was born in March, 1801 in North Carolina, United States.  Documents spell the surname many ways.  His grave stone shows Krow.  The Lawrence County marriage index reports it as Crow.  Censuses for Winston and other family members show Krows, Crouse or Krouse, with Krows appearing often.  His birth date is based on the age reported on his grave stone of 51y/7m [the number of days is illegible].  He appeared in the census in 1840 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists 2 males under 5, 2 males 5-9, 1 male 10-14, 1 male 30-39, 1 female 5-9 and 1 female 30-39.  He is listed as Vincent.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Clay & Richland District, Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists Vincen (49), Sarah (46), Joseph (18), William (17), Solomon (15) and James (12).  His occupation was farmer.  He died on October 2, 1852 at the age of 51 in Illinois, United States.  He was buried at Tolliver Cemetery in Clay, Illinois, United States.

 

Winston Krows and Sarah Toliver had the following children:

 

           19              i.   Katharine Krows, born November 10, 1828.

           20             ii.   Joseph Krows, born about 1832.

           21            iii.   William A. Krows, born January 18, 1834.

           22            iv.   Solomon Krows, born about 1835.

           23             v.   James H. Krows, born about 1838.

           24            vi.   John Krows, born December 23, 1842.

 

Sarah "Sally" Toliver and John Kellums were married on April 21, 1859 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  THIS MARRIAGE IS QUESTIONABLE.  Many researchers list him as Vincen/Vincent Kellams and the marriage date as December 21, 1859 in Clay County, Illinois.  I cannot find any records for this person, nor is this marriage listed in the Illinois Marriage Index 1763-1900 on the state's web site.  The marriage index does list the marriage of John Kellums to Sarah Krous on April 21, 1859 (vol. B, page 58) in Clay County, Illinois.  However, the censuses never show them together.  Sarah is listed in the 1860 and 1870 censuses with her children.  Her last name was reported as Krows.  John was listed in the 1860, 70 and 80 censuses with children.  He was in a different township than Sarah, and the 1880 census lists him as a widower.  He is buried with his first wife Elizabeth.  The only data that supports this marriage are the records for Sarah's 3rd marriage.  The Illinois Marriage Index 1763-1900 lists her as Sarah Kellums, and a marriage index on Ancestry.com list her as Sarah Toliver.  John Kellums4,11 was born on May 1, 1801 in Virginia, United States.  He died on April 14, 1882 at the age of 80.  He was buried at Tolliver Cemetery in Clay, Illinois, United States.

 

Sarah "Sally" Toliver and Isom Hall were married on April 4, 1882 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  The Illinois Marriage Index 1763-1900 lists the marriage of Unknown Hall to Sarah Kellums on April 4, 1882 in Clay County, Illinois (vol. 1, page 62).  Ancestry.com's Illinois County Marriage Index 1800-1940 lists the marriage of Sarah Toliver, born about 1804, to Isom Hall in 1882 in Clay County, Illinois.  TolliverFamilhy.com reports the marriage date as April 13, 1882.  Both of these dates precede John's death date.  Sarah was the sister of Isom's first wife, Anna Toliver.  Isom Hall2,4,6,14, son of Robert Hall and Nancy Isom, was born on April 1, 1802 in Virginia, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (48), Ann (43), Robert (16), William (12), John (10), Martin (8), George (6) and Milly (1).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (58), Ann (45), Martin (17), George (14), Milly (10) and Martha (granddaughter?) (15).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (68), Anna (64), Milly (19) and grandchildren Thomas (13), Sophronia (11), William (9) and Martha (7) [children of Robert].  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (78), Anna (73) and grandchildren Ellen (28), Mattie (17) and William (20) Hall.  It reported that he had a broken thigh. He died on February 13, 1886 at the age of 83 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  He was buried at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

 

7.   Anna Toliver2,4,6,14 was born on June 10, 1807 in Tennessee, United States.  Some of her children reported her birth place as Alabama.

 

She appeared in the census in 1850 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

 

She died on February 19, 1882 at the age of 74 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She was buried at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

 

Anna Toliver and Isom Hall were married on April 29, 1824 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States (book A, page 106).  After Anna died, Isom married her sister Sarah.  Isom Hall2,4,6,14, son of Robert Hall and Nancy Isom, was born on April 1, 1802 in Virginia, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (48), Ann (43), Robert (16), William (12), John (10), Martin (8), George (6) and Milly (1).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (58), Ann (45), Martin (17), George (14), Milly (10) and Martha (granddaughter?) (15).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (68), Anna (64), Milly (19) and grandchildren Thomas (13), Sophronia (11), William (9) and Martha (7) [children of Robert].  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Isom (78), Anna (73) and grandchildren Ellen (28), Mattie (17) and William (20) Hall.  It reported that he had a broken thigh.  He died on February 13, 1886 at the age of 83 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  He was buried at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

Mazey Gertrude Toliver and John Albert Loy were married about 1895.  Lawrence County marriage book H, page 543 lists the marriage of John A. Loy to Inez H. Toliver, daughter of John and Ann Toliver, on December 3, 1891.  However, this record is not an exact match:

(1) The marriage date is 4 years earlier than what they reported in the censuses.
(2) There are no other records that list Mazey as Inez.
(3) Her age is listed as 26 in the marriage record, which would place her birth date about 1865. 

Until further proof is found, I am using the marriage date suggested by the censuses.  John Albert Loy2,18 was born in November, 1863 in West Virginia, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1900 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists John (33), Mazy (30), Arthur (4), Raymond (7/12) and sister-in-law Nora Toliver and daughter.  His occupation was farmer.  He appeared in the census in 1910 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists John (47), Maisee (40), Arthur (13) and Raymond (10).  His occupation was laborer at a mill.  He appeared in the census in 1920 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists John (57), Mazy (49), Arthur (23) and Raymond (20).   His occupation was cement mill laborer.  He appeared in the census in 1930 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists John (67) and Mazy (59).  His occupation was cement mill laborer.  He died in 1940 at the age of 77.  He was buried at Mitchell City Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

1.  Jesse Toliver16 was born about 1756 in Fauquier, Virginia, United States.  His Revolutionary war pension files listed his birth place as Fauquier County.  Some researchers reported that his wife's widow pension application listed Prince William County.

 

He served in the military in The American Revolutionary War.  He enlisted in 1777 for 5 months as a private under Capt. Lenoir and Col. Martin Armstrong, NC.  He enlisted in 1780 for 2 months as a private under Capt. Lenoir and Col. Herndon, NC.  Again he enlisted for 1 1/2 months as a private under William Lenoir, NC.  He enlisted in 1780 for 3 months as a private under Capt. William Lenoir and Col. Campbell, NC.  He enlisted in 1781 for 5 months as a private under Capt. Lenoir and Col. Macajah Lewis, NC.  He applied for a pension on January 1, 1834 and received $55 per year beginning March 1834.  He was living in Ashe County, North Carolina, at the time.  An abstract of Revolutionary War pension files lists "Toliver, Jesse, NC Line, widow Frankey or Franky, W4086, soldier was born in Fauquier Co. VA & when young he moved with his father (not named) to near Richmond VA & later moved to Wilkes Co. NC where he lived at enlistment.  Soldier applied 1 Mar 1834 Ashe Co.

He died on March 4, 1838 at the age of 82 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  His Find-A-Grave memorial reported that he was buried in the Jesse Toliver Family Cemetery in Amelia, Alleghany, North Carolina.  The accuracy of this information is unknown.  An 1893 biography of his grandson, William Bracy Toliver, reported "Both the grandfathers of our subject were natives of that State.  Jesse Tolliver was a large land and slave-holder there."

 

Jesse Toliver and Martha Frances "Franky" Stamper were married in April, 1782 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  His pension application papers reported three marriage dates: 1 or 2 Apr or 8 Oct 1782.  It is uncertain which is correct.  Martha Frances "Franky" Stamper12,5 was born on February 14, 1767 in Amherst, Virginia, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1787 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1790 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.

Sarah "Sally" Toliver and Abraham Absalom Fender were married in 1808 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  Abraham Absalom Fender2,5,7,9 was born on August 20, 1789 in North Carolina, United States.  This date was calculated from his death date and age of 59y/6m/18d as recorded on his grave stone.  However, "years old" is uncertain due to the condition of the stone.  It could be 57 or 58.  The Tolliver Family website reported his first name as Homer and his birthdate as September 18, 1790.  For the most part, he went by his middle name, but it appears that the 1840 census listed him as Abraham.  He appeared in the census in 1810 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  It lists 1 male 16-25, 1 female under 10 and 1 female 16-25.  He appeared in the census in 1820 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 3 males under 10, 1 male 26-44, 2 females under 10, 1 female 10-15 and 1 female 26-44.  He appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 1 male under 5, 2 males 5-9, 1 male 10-14, 1 male 15-19, 1 male 40-49, 2 females under 5, 2 females 10-14 and 1 female 40-49.  He appeared in the census in 1840 in Sugar Grove Township, Lee, Illinois, United States.  It lists 1 male 5-9, 2 males 10-14, 2 males 15-19, 1 male 20-29, 1 male 30-39, 1 male 50-59, 1 female 5-9, 1 female 10-14 and 1 female 40-49.  He died on March 10, 1849 at the age of 59 in Lee, Illinois, United States.  He was buried at Palmyra Cemetery in Lee, Illinois, United States.

 

Abraham Absalom Fender and Sarah Toliver had the following children:

 

           18              i.   Susannah Amaza "Mazy" Fender, born July 15, 1809.

           19             ii.   Solomon Fender, born November 11, 1811.

           20            iii.   Frances Fender, born 1812.

               

4.     John Toliver5 was born on June 20, 1788 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States. He died in 1833 at the age of 45 in North Carolina, United States. Evidence connecting John to this family is not as strong as with his siblings.  However, his family moved to Owen County, Indiana after his death, where other family members had settled, so it is likely that he is one of the children.

 

5.     Martha "Patsy" Toliver2,5 was born on March 13, 1797 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States. The family Bible gave the birthdates of Martha and John Fender.  Although it is possible that Martha and John actually had the same birthdate, it is also possible that March 13th was used as an estimate because their actual birthdates weren't known.

 

She appeared in the census in 1850 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.

 

She died before 1870 at the age of 73 in North Carolina, United States.  Some source reported her death as 1850-1860.  She was buried at John Fender Family Cemetery in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.

 

Martha "Patsy" Toliver and John Fender were married about 1812 in North Carolina, United States.  This date is based on the ages of their children.  John Fender2,5,7 was born on March 13, 1794 in Surry, North Carolina, United States.  John Fender was probably born in Surry (now Yadkin) County, North Carolina, but his family moved to Ashe County prior to 1800.  Their neighbors included the family of Jesse and Franky Toliver.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  It lists John (57), Patsy (54), Solomon (16), Patsy (14), Margaret (12) and Francis Toliver (20).  He died on February 2, 1857 at the age of 62 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  Will of John Fender, dated February 18, 1857 (Ashe County., North Carolina Will Book D, p.14):  I John Fender do acknowledge myself in my right mind this my last will and testimony I bequeath to my son Solomon Fender that he has a part of my land Beginning on the North side of the mountain on my corner running south to my line near A creek and the west end of my land and Solomon Fender is to have the home place at my death and Martha Fender's death and if the children cannot agree on the price of the Land they shall choose three or four men to value the land and if either of us John Fender or Martha Fender should live to be an expense on Solomon Fender he is to have pay out of this land for his trouble with us.  Charity Jinning had her forty dollars.  Sarah Jinnings has had her forty dollars.  Peggy Choat had thirty three dollars of her part of the forty dollars.  Martha Choat had sixteen dollars and forty cts of her part.  Jane Crouse had thirteen dollars of her part.  Nancy Edwards has received thirteen dollars of her part.  Susanah Moxley has not received any of her part.  Nor Franky Moxley.

Jacob Toliver and Susanna Isom were married on December 27, 1821 in Grayson, Virginia, United States.  Susanna Isom2,11 was born in 1805 in Virginia, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1840 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists Susan (55), Starlin (22), George (20) and Harriet (18). She died Unknown.

 

Jacob Toliver and Susanna Isom had the following children:

 

           21              i.   Rebecca Toliver, born 1823.

           22             ii.   Frances Toliver, born about 1824.

           23            iii.   Rosey Jane Toliver, born August 22, 1826.

           25             v.   Mahala Toliver, born January 22, 1833.

           26            vi.   Darcus Toliver, born March 19, 1835.

           27           vii.   Wilburn Toliver, born about 1838.

           28          viii.   Starling Toliver, born January 15, 1839.

           29            ix.   George Allen Toliver, born about 1843.

 

7.     Allen Toliver6,8,1015 was born in 1803 in North Carolina, United States.  His birth date is uncertain.  His grave stone reported July 18, 1804, but this conflicts with the birth date of his brother Solomon.  Using the death date and age recorded on the stone yields a date of July 19.  The censuses place the year anywhere between 1802 and 1805.  The Tolliver Family website reported the date as July 11, 1802.  His son William's biography reported the year as 1803, and this is the date I have chosen to use.

 

He appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 1 male 20-30, 1 female 0-5 and 1 female 20-30. He appeared in the census in 1840 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 2 males 0-5, 3 males 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 10-15 and 1 female 30-40.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States. It lists Allen (44), Mahala (37), John (19), Jesse (17), Joseph (15), Jacob (13), William (11), Mary (8), Riley (6), George (5) and Catherine (3).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Allen (58), Mahala (45), Mary (18), Riley (16), George (14), Catherine (13), Henry (7) and Susan (5).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Allen (65), Mahala (58), Kate (23), Henry (18), Susan (16) and Philhy (13).  It is not known if Philhy is a child of this family (he is not with the family in the 1860 census) or is some other relation.  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States. It lists Allen (74) and Mahala (66).

 

He died on February 11, 1891 at the age of 88 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  This is the date on his grave stone.  His son William's biography reported the date as February 21.  He was buried at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

 

An 1893 biography of his son, William Bracy Toliver, reported "Allen Tolliver, father of our subject, was born in North Carolina in 1803, and grew to manhood on a plantation.  In 1824, he immigrated to Indiana, where lie made a claim and developed a good farm in the midst of the forest.  He owned large tracts of land in Illinois and the Hoosier State, but died on the old homestead in Indiana, after having gained a fortune to leave to his family.  He married Susan Finger, a lady of German descent, who died in 1847.  His death occurred February 21, 1891.  He was a man who had the respect of all who knew him and lived an honorable, upright life."

 

Allen Toliver and Susan Finger were married on June 4, 1829 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States (book A, page 284).  Susan Finger2,8,11,15, daughter of John Finger and Mary Troutman, was born on September 6, 1808 in North Carolina, United States.  This date was calculated from her death data and age of 38y/11m/16d as recorded on her grave stone.  Her name may have been Susannah.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1840 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  Susan died on August 22, 1847 at the age of 38 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She may have died in childbirth with their last child, Catherine.  She was buried at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  Some sources reported that she was first buried at Finger Cemetery, then moved to Freedom Cemetery.  The accuracy of this information is unknown.

 

Allen Toliver and Susan Finger had the following children:

 

           30              i.   Frances Margaret Toliver, born March 17, 1830.

Allen Toliver and Mahala Laswell were married on March 11, 1850 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-3, page 298). Mahala Laswell2,8,11 was born on May 22, 1813 in Kentucky, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Mitchell, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She died on July 8, 1898 at the age of 85 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  She was buried at Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.

           40              i.   Henry Toliver, born August 23, 1852.

           41             ii.   Susanna Toliver, born about 1855.

       

8.  Solomon Toliver2,5,7 was born on May 13, 1804 in North Carolina, United States. He appeared in the census in 1850 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States. It lists Solomon (46), Margaret (50), Margaret (19), Calvin (18), Callaway (16), Melvin (14), Malinda (12), Alex (10), Granville (8), Sarah (6), Clark (4), Creed (4) and his mother Franky (83).

The estate of Solomon Toliver was probated in Alleghany Co., North Carolina, in 1866 (NC Archives Box No. CR.004.508.27). Solomon's birthdate is recorded in the Jesse Toliver family Bible.  His wife was probably Margaret Blevins, daughter of John Blevins & Catherine Cox of Grayson County, Virginia.  John's family Bible shows that his daughter Margaret married a Toliver, and she is the right age to be the wife of Solomon Toliver.  Some sources claim that Margaret was married first to George Toliver, son of John Toliver of Wilkes County, North Carolina.  Still other unverified sources identify her as Margaret Calloway.  She might be the "Peggy Ann Blevins Toliver" buried at the Van Reeves Cemetery in Alleghany County (Peggy was a common nickname for Margaret).

 

9.  Starling Toliver2,5,16 was born on March 13, 1806 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States. 

 

His name may have been Sterling.  His birthplace is from his daughter Rosanna's death certificate.  His birthdate was recorded in the Jesse Toliver family Bible.  Starling lived in the Glade Creek Township of Alleghany County, NC.  According to land records, he owned several parcels of land on Glade Creek, Brush Creek, the Little River, and Little Pine Creek.

She died about 1858 at the age of 29 in Illinois, United States.  It seems certain that she died before 1859 when James married her sister Frances.  1858 is a reasonable guess based on the following:  Censuses starting with 1860 list George W. Tucker, born about 1858 in Illinois.  He is too old to belong to James and Frances, so he must belong to James and Sarah.  Given that she must have died before 1859, it is very likely that she died either during or shortly after childbirth.

Chapter Four: John Toliver

 

First Generation

 

1.  John Toliver15 was born on July 28, 1760 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.

 

Researcher Carole Conrad reported that a DNA study conducted in 2003 by the Taliaferro DNA Project found a genetic match between descendants of four of the "Five Brothers" - Jesse, Charles, William, and Moses.  A descendant of the fifth brother, John, did not match the others. However, John, Jesse, and Moses considered themselves to be brothers, proven by a declaration that John Toliver filed in 1856 in support of a Revolutionary War pension application by the widow of Capt. Samuel Johnson.  In the declaration, John refers to his "older brothers" Jesse and Moses Toliver.  Given that there was only one sample and that DNA testing in 2003 was considerably less accurate than today, it is difficult to take these results as being conclusive.

 

John and Jesse were born on the Rappahanock River in Prince William County, VA, although by the time John was born, the area had become Fauquier County.  Shortly afterward, the family moved to the James River area about 30 miles from Richmond.  Information in John's and Jesse's military pension files indicate that they and their brother Moses came to NC with their father before the Revolutionary War began.  Further, about five or six years before the Revolutionary War began (about 1770), the family moved to Surry (later Wilkes) County, NC, east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The father was still living and was involved in this move, but he is not named in any of Jesse's or John's pension records.

Land records show Tollivers buying extensively along the Roaring River, Mulberry Creek, and the Yadkin River between 1778 and 1781.  Following the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780, the Toliver brothers, their mother (who is not named) and other family members moved west of the Blue Ridge to the part of Wilkes that later became Ashe and still later Alleghany County. 

In a letter written in 1930 by E. W. Morgan, representing the National Archives, to Mrs. Fred Cretney in Leadville, CO, he stated "You are advised that it appears from the Revolutionary War records of this bureau that John Toliver, while residing in Wilkes County, North Carolina, enlisted in the latter part of the war and served fourteen days 'and upwards', as a private in Captain Martin Gambill's company in Colonel Benjamin Cleveland's North Carolina regiment.  He was allowed bounty land in full satisfaction for the service rendered, on his application executed June 17, 1856, at which time he was living in Ashe County, North Carolina and was aged ninety-four or ninety-six years.  In 1856, Charles H. Toliver and Jesse Toliver testified in the case.  They were both at that time residing in Ashe County, North Carolina.  No relationship to soldier stated."  This was Bounty Land Warrant 67685 for 160 acres.  Most warrants given to NC men were in TN.  Charles H. Toliver was John's son.  Jesse Toliver was the son of John's sister, Susanna and Allen Tolliver.  He was married to John's granddaughter, Louisa, William's daughter.

In the DAR Patriot Lookup, John Toliver is listed as John Taliaferro b. 1760.  He was a Private.  He died in 1863 in NC.  No one received a pension.  His spouse was Tabitha Howell.  The SAR list him as John Toliver, Private.

National Archives W5012 - In a deposition for the widow of Samuel Johnson on Sept. 20, 1856 in Ashe Co., NC, John Toliver, swore before Justice of the Peace, James Gambill, that he had lived in the county of Wilkes in NC at the time of the War of the Revolution; that Samuel Johnson had been a Captain in the war and that he had known Samuel's father, Jeffrey.  He also knew Mary Hammons and believed Samuel and Mary were married after the Battle of King's Mountain, SC (Oct. 7, 1780) and before he moved with his mother to the west side of the Blue Ridge, now Ashe County.  He also stated that "his two older brothers Jesse Toliver and Moses" lived on the west side of the Blue Ridge and that they had served in the War.

In a letter written July 10, 1848 to James and Elizabeth Maxwell Toliver, Joseph Maxwell (Lucy's son) stated that "Old Uncle John Toliver had lost his sight but was in good health for a man of his age."

On August 29, 1845 John testified to the State of North Carolina that he had witnessed the marriage of Jesse Toliver and Franky Stamper in 1782 and that they had lived together as man and wife about fifty-six years until his death February 7, 1838.

 

He appeared in the census in 1790 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Wilkes, North Carolina, United States.  It lists John (86) living with his son Charles.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  It lists John (100) living with his son Charles.

 

He died on July 24, 1863 at the age of 102 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  Alleghany County was called Ashe County at the time John passed away. He was buried at Toliver Cemetery in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.

 

John Toliver and Tabitha Howell were married about 1783.  Some researchers list the date as 1784 or 1785.  Tabitha Howell23 was born about 1765 in Virginia, United States.  She died on May 24, 1845 at the age of 80 in North Carolina, United States.

 

John Toliver and Tabitha Howell had the following children:

 

              2              i.   William "Billy" Toliver, born 1787.

              3             ii.   John Toliver, born about 1790.

              5            iv.   James Franklin Toliver, born January 3, 1795.

              6             v.   George Toliver, born 1798.

              7            vi.   Charles H. Toliver, born June 11, 1800.

Letter dated July 10, 1848, written to James and Elizabeth Maxwell Toliver, living in Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois:

Dear Cozin:

After the usual compliments I will inform you that we are in reasonable health at present, hoping these lines will find you in the same state of health.  I had thought I would have come to your country and see you all this fall but my health is very bad at present and I will have to decline the notion having a good many other things to see to.  I take spells of the sore eyes last Feb. and were almost blind for 8 or 9 weeks and since that time my eyes seem very weak and runs a great deal of the time, but thank God I can see tolerable well at times.  We have not heard from you for some time.  I would be glad if you would write to us and let us no of your health, and how you are getting along and how times are in your country and in particular how old Uncle John Maxwell (bro. to William) and his family is.  And Old Aunt Sara Weaver (probably a Maxwell) is yet alive and in comon health, but has lost her hearing and recollection.  In a grate measure we have fine prospects for crops this season. Wheat has been very good, corn and oats loos well and health is reasonable good at present.  Wheat is worth 50 cents per bushel, corn 16, bacon 4 cents a pound and other things in propotion.

I received a letter from David Maxwell that is in Carolina, a week or so ago and he stated that our connection were all well in that country except Patsy Fender (daughter of Jesse and Frances Stamper Toliver).  She seemed to be insane.  Old Uncle John Toliver (our John b. 1760) had lost his sight but was in good health for a man of his age.  Times he wrote was good. May God grant to each of you a portion of his spirit to cause you all to press forward in the cause of Jesus and his religion and that we can say as the Apostle Paul that we fought the good fite and kept the faith.

Farwell to James & Elizabeth Toliver and all connection in that country.
Signed Joseph Maxwell, Lawrence Co., IN

Another letter written Sept. 21, 1844 was carried to IL by Solomon Fender; written to James and Elizabeth Maxwell Toliver in Bloomington, IL:

Dear Brother and Sister:

We take this opportunity to inform you that through the merceis and blessings of God, we and the friends are generally well and hope that these lines may find you enjoying good health.  There has been some sickness in the country but not fatal, we cannot recollect any deaths.  Times are pretty hard, though the "Whigs" say better are coming, they and the "Democrats" too, are having barbecues through the towns and country, everyday or two.  Our wheat crops were very indifferent and the fly are now about to eat up what we have saved.  Oats were very good.  We have 20 stacks each stack containing about 100 doz.  Corn crops are middling good.  We sold this summer the rise of 400 bushels of corn.  I live at the same place I  did when you were here and I own 443 acres of land up and down the valley. Your mother (Susan Edwards Toliver) is living Sis, and enjoys good health.  She says she would like to see you once more, as she is old, she expects that she never will, unless you come to see her, and she thinks that you might come, it is not so far.  She remembers her love to you and family.  There have been several weddings among your connection. Rebecca Toliver (Grandchild of Charles and Susan) married a gentleman by the name of Sterling Williams, Isom Toliver married Miss Phebe Way, Susan Toliver married Alexander Maxwell, Charles Workman married Matthew Fielder's widow.  Rebecca Isom married a gentleman by the name of Lewis Morgan, Mahala Workman is expecting to marry a gentleman by the name of Henry Boyer, the third of next month.  There were two deaths that we had forgotten and thought likely you had never heard of them.  Old Father Edwards (Susan's father) died the 28th of last March, two years ago. Nathaniel Brewer died last April, two years ago. And Elizabeth Brewer (daughter of Charles and Susan) and family are well and send her respects to you and family. Eli Way and Thurzey (Charles and Susan's) send their love and respects to you and family.  We have nothing more of importance to write excepting we have six hearty children, four boys and two girls, William, Isom, Robert and Nancy and Thurzey are their names.  Thurzey is three years old and sucks yet.  We shall now bring our letter to a close by wishing to be remembered by you and all inquiring friends, so no more, but we hope to remain your affectionate brother and sister until death.

Signed - Richard Hall and Mahala Toliver Hall from Lawrence Co. Ind.

6.  Jesse Toliver1,5,7,9,12,15,17 was born on October 12, 1802 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.

 

Researchers are divided concerning this family.  There are two Jesse Tolivers in the 1830 Lawrence County census, both about the same age.  However, their paths split after 1830.  According to TolliverFamily.com, Jesse and Suannah moved to Orange County, Indiana, then to Richland County, Illinois.  However, according to Evelyn Wall, Jesse stayed in Lawrence County until the 1850's when he moved to Clay County, Illinois.  In my opinion, the records by Evelyn are more credible than what TolliverFamily.com provided.

 

He appeared in the census in 1830 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 1 male 20-30 and 1 female 15-20.  He appeared in the census in 1840 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists 1 male 0-5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 0-5, 2 females 5-10 and 1 female 30-40.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Spice Valley Township, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jesse (48), Mazy (40), Harrison (19), Polly (17), Susan (15), John (13), Euphemin (11), David (9) and James (7).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists Jesse (57), Amanda (51), Ransom (28), Mary (25), Susan (23), David (18), James (15) and granddaughter Nancy (3).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Hoosier Township, Clay, Illinois, United States.  It lists Jesse (66), Masy (60) and Nancy (13) (daughter of their son Ransom).

 

He died on August 16, 1878 at the age of 75 in Hoosier Township, Clay, Illinois, United States.  An abstract of Clay County, IL, probate boxes copied by Evelyn Wall shows the following:

Toliver, Jesse, Hoosier   d/o/d August 16, 1878
Toliver, Amaza, widow
Toliver, David R., son, Adm
Toliver, George A., surety
Toliver, James R., son

Susannah Amaza "Mazy" Fender5,15,17, daughter of Abraham Absalom Fender and Sarah Toliver, was born on July 15, 1809 in North Carolina, United States.

She is listed as Amanda, but the age and birth place match Susannah, so this must be her. She appeared in the census in 1870 in Hoosier Township, Clay, Illinois, United States. She died on August 3, 1899 at the age of 90 in Clay, Illinois, United States. Mazy was buried at Hoosier Prairie Cemetery in Clay, Illinois, United States.

This article contained in the February 26, 1916 edition of Farmer's Guide was written by Mrs. Ralph Riggs, who was a relative.  She collected this information from Thursay when she was 103 years old.  "Few of us have the opportunity to tell a bit of pioneer history direct from the lips of one who is more than one hundred years old. Here in Lawrence County lives my great- great aunt who is one hundred and three years old.  In 1815, her father, Charles Toliver, came here and took up a claim of one hundred and sixty acres.  He then returned home, in North Carolina, for his family.  When the early settlers took up their claim they paid down so much and paid the rest yearly.  If they found it impossible to pay for all they were permitted to relinquish a part of the claim.  Aunt Thursay, as everyone calls her, was nearing her fourth birthday when they started back here, but she says that she can remember the trip as well as if it happened yesterday. The journey was made in a covered wagon, drawn by four horses.  They led three milk cows.  Imagine, if you can, a trail with but few old wagon ruts, through forest after forest, whose leaves had covered the ground and whose limbs struck against the covered wagon, sometimes leaving a rent.  Three days before Christmas in 1816 Charles Toliver arrived with his family.  They settled near a spring as all did in those days, which is now the northeast corner of my father's farm.  The first task was to erect a temporary cabin, which contained only one room.  Some settlers made only open front cabins.  Toliver made a picket fence around the cabin so the children could play with some safety.  When the cabin and yard was completed the father and sons began to clear for their cornfield.  After the corn crop was gathered they took it to Kentucky to have it ground.  Few were the trips because the journey required many days, often weeks.  A meal without bread was not unusual.  Sometimes they had grated bread.  This was made by grating corn, before it hardened, over a tin with many nail holes in it.  The pulp they used as meal.  Later they hollowed out an oak stump for a mortar and ground the hardened corn into meal with heavy stone.  They had Johnnie cakes.  This was cornbread that was baked on a Johnnie board in the fireplace.  This board was homemade. All the cooking was done in the fireplace.  Their dishes were pewter. They had iron, of course, a baking pot or a Dutch oven, a few other iron pots and a large iron kettle.  'Stoves' Aunt Thursay said, 'I never saw one until my own children were grown and married.'  Their dishes were pewter.  They did not bring anything breakable and only what they had to have.  They brought apple, peach, cherry and plum seeds which they planted in their nursery.  One of the apple trees still stands near the old home place.  Its diameter is not more, if as much, than twelve inches.  The branches are numerous, enough for a half dozen trees.  The apples are few, tough and coarse.  Mr. Toliver was a blacksmith in North Carolina. When he came he brought along all the irons required to make his plows, harrows, hoes, etc.  The wooden parts he made here.  He made a loom for his wife to weave their cloth for clothes.  She had brought along her vegetable seeds and madder root and indigo seed which she set out and planted for dying red and blue.  Their lace they made with a needle on a board.  They brought along a big and little spinning wheel.  Often at night before the buzz of the spinning wheel, the scream of the panther was heard.  The wolves howled and the growl of the bear was near.  Looking up from her work, through a opening, the fiery eyes of the catamount were seen. Aunt Thursay tells it all without a shudder.  One morning when she and her father went to the sugar camp to start the kettles, while the mother and sisters cooked breakfast and the boys were clearing, her father stopped suddenly and told her to step behind a tree.  He motioned the dog down.  Aunt Thursay peeped from behind the tree and saw on a tree that leaned across their path, a bear.  Her father killed it.  They used bear fat to season greens.  Her mother would go out and gather an apronful of shonie for greens.  You don't know what shonie is, Aunt Thursay says, and I guess she is right.  The maple sap was always made into sugar and stored in barrels.  Wild bees were plentiful.  They hunted the bees trees, hived the bees in gums and stored the honey in jars.  This turned into sugar and it and the maple sugar were used to make sweet cakes.  When the fruit trees came into bearing they preserved all their fruit with the sugar.  Before the trees bore they had only wild fruits which were black and red haws, papaws, persimmons, wild grapes and May plums.  There were several years before any blackberries were found.  During this time they had a house raising, all neighbors helping, and erected a three floor log house.  I do not mean a three-room house, but one with a ground floor and two others above it.  The doors were made of clap boards and the floors of punchcons.  These were split logs whose faces were smoothed with a broad axe.  A wide poplar puncheon was used for the table. They made stools for chairs and brought their beds from North Carolina.  Years later the house was used for the barn by my grandfather.  All that remains today of this once homestead is a heap of grass grown stones beneath the Balm of Gilead tree.  A log cabin was erected for the church house.  It stood in what would now be the center of the cemetery.  An old white headed man, from north of where Bedford now is located, came once a month to preach.  His name was Rev. Mitchell.  All he charged for preaching was the fee it cost him to cross White River on the ferry boat.  Rev. Mitchell soon died and the next pastor's name was Vandebuer.  A man came from North Carolina and taught the school children in this same cabin that was named Spice Valley.  This I believe is the second oldest church in Indiana the other being Lost River Church.  They celebrated their centennial in 1914.  Spice Valley Church was organized beneath a shed owned by Billy Maxfield that stood in a plot south of the cabin.  Maxfield was a mill-wright and there he ground the bread stuff for the early settlers by horse power.  Many times, Aunt Thursay said, 'when I was seven or eight years old, I led the horse around the sweep.'  The sweep was the path around the burrs where the horse walked to grind the corn.  A man settled in the valley.  His name was Bennie Webb.  He was a hatter and made woolen hats for men and boys.  There were seven families located here when the Tolivers came.  The first family that came to this county was named Phillips.  They came in 1813.  Toliver's 5 nearest neighbors lived four miles distant.  A man by the name of Oodles moved near White River and made jeans for men and boys clothing.  There were no doctors.  They were seldom sick.  Aunt Thursay said she was grown long before she saw a dead body.  A dentist was unknown.  I asked her what they did for toothache: 'Just let it ache' she replied.  Bells were put on the horses and cows so they could be easily found. Squirrels were a pest.  A premium was paid per head and an extra prize to the one who could show the most heads.  Wild turkeys were plentiful.  Mr. Toliver and sons would go out and kill wild turkeys. The mother dressed these, drying the breast meat to be used as bread. In those days of quilting bees, minute and Virginia reel dance and the husking bee, the squire did the marrying.  I tried to get Aunt Thursay to tell me a romance, but she only smiled.  She told me this ending of one wedded pair.  Every day when the husband was out at work the wife would take him an apronful of sweet cakes.  One day he saw her coming and waited for he was hungry.  When she drew near, what do you think he got?  Rocks?  Yes, and she threw them, too.  A few other acts and they parted.  He left her.  There was one place they called Deer Lick. Here the dear came to lick salt that was in the soil.  Deer Lick is a pond today.  Across the fields is a number of old rocks.  Beneath these was an Indian camp.  Aunt Thursay, with her father and a neighbor's girl, went there to hunt beads and relics.  Quite a number of flint have been found.  I have in my possession an Indian hatchet that we found in our garden.  I have seen many rocks on my father's farm that Aunt Thursay said were used to sharpen knifes.  The Indians were gone when Tolivers came."

As with his sister Mary, the Tolliver Family web site contains more information about William.  A few items reported there were that he appeared in the 1850 Knox County, Illinois census, he died after 1850, possibly in Knox County, Illinois, he married Lucy Reeves, they had 6 children, and she died before 1850, possibly in Knox County, Illinois.  I was unable to find a marriage record or any other records that support the above information except for the 1850 census, and I can't be sure that the census record is the same William.  To further complicate matters, Phoebe Baldwin, the widow of his cousin William Toliver, married a William Maxwell Jr. in Lawrence County, Indiana in 1844.  These two William Maxwells are similar enough that they could actually be the same person.

Chapter Eight: William Toliver

 

First Generation

 

1.  William Toliver111 was born about 1775 in Virginia, United States. 

 

Some researchers report his birth as about 1750 in Fauquier County, Virginia, but this is much too early given the available data.  Carole Conrad reports it as between 1780-1790, probably in Montgomery County, but this is a little late given the available data.  Susan Seidenfeld and Rebecca Moore place it around 1775, which is the probably the best estimate.  This birthdate fits better with the birthdates of his sibling, making the total span of their mother's child bearing years 20 years.  It also fits better with the ages of William's children.  Most researchers believe that the William Taliaferro that registered 1 poll in the Wythe (now Grayson) County, Virginia tax list of 1792-3 is actually William Tolliver.  In order to have one poll, he had to be at least 16 years old (i.e., born ~1776).

 

Grayson County, VA, tax lists:
1794         William Toliver 1 poll, 1 horse
1796-1799        William Toliver 1 poll
1800         William Toliver 2 polls
1802         William Toliver 1 poll
1803         William Toliver 2 polls
1804         William Toliver 1 poll
1805         William Toliver 2 polls, 3 horses, $.36 tax
1811         William Toliver 1 poll

He immigrated in 1818 to Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  William Toliver killed George Reeves, Jr. in 1811.  The History of Western NC by John Preston Arthur reported "Tradition says that Tolliver was acquitted at Wilkesboro on the ground that Reeves had attempted liberties with Tolliver's wife."  George Reeves was a tax collector.  Dennis Smith, a descendant, reported that George was taking horses for taxes and William thought he was stealing the horses and shot him.  Earlier, William had had a horse stolen by Paul Collins.  The jury found him not guilty of the felony and murder as charged, but guilty of the felony of manslaughter.  His punishment was to "be burned on the brawn of the left thumb with the impression of the letter M and that the Sheriff of this county carry this sentence immediately into execution in the presence of the Court."  He was imprisoned for 3 years and fined 1000 pounds.  Dennis reported that he sold his land to his brother-in-law, Joseph Doughton, after he got out of jail and then left North Carolina.

History of Lawrence County reported that early land entries in Marion Township, Lawrence, Indiana, showed an entry for William Toliver in 1818, and this year was also reported on a pioneer's list posted on the Kentuckiana genealogy web site.  His brother Charles brought his family from North Carolina to Lawrence County, Indiana, in 1815.  This was about the time William would have been released from prison, so he could have accompanied Charles.  Even if he didn't, Charles must have been a big influence in his decision to come to Indiana.

The Order Book for Commissioners for Lawrence County, Indiana, dated March 18, 1818 to July 1, 1823 report the following: (1) An entry on February 14, 1820, stated "Ordered by the Board that William Toliver be and is appointed Supervisor of the road beginning at Fields Ferry on the South side of the White River thence the nearest and best way to the County line in a direction to Orleans; and that he is authorized to work said road by the hands that live contagent [probably meant contiguous] thereto. (2) An entry on August 14, 1820, stated "On Motion it is ordered that William Toliver/Supt. be paid out of the money arising from fines of delinquents who neglected to work on the road in his bounds, the sum of three dollars for four days warning hands to work said roads."  Along with the 1820 census, this places William in Lawrence County in 1820, since there are no other known William Tolivers that were not accounted for at that time.

Census data, tax rolls and land transactions suggest that Susannah and the children did not accompany William to Indiana.  However, Andrew and James appeared in Indiana between 1835 and 1840, and Susannah may have been in Indiana for the 1840 census (this has not been proven).
 

He appeared in the census in 1820 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States. It lists 2 males 0-10, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 0-10 and 1 female 26-45. William died in 1822 at the age of 47 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States. This date is based on the fact that his estate was probated by Charles Toliver and William Baldwin on February 25, 1822. 

The Redline Website reports that he died in 1824 in Warren County, TN.  Some researchers report the date as 1818.  Still others that he returned to Virginia and was with Susannah in the 1830 census.  Some sources report that he was buried in Freedom Cemetery in Lawrence County, IN.  The accuracy of this information is unknown.


There is a lot of uncertainty about William and Susannah's children.  Research from the late 1990's listed their children as Allen, Martin, James Madison, Elizabeth and Jackson.  However, evidence uncovered since then casts doubts on this list.  For example, James Madison was the only child born in Virginia, but given what has been uncovered about William and Susannah, they should have all been born in Virginia.  Newer research lists Allen, Andrew and James Madison, as well as 5 unknown children.  While Allen and James appear on both lists, the data for Allen is not the same.

While the evidence for the new list seems to be the stronger of the two, it raises new questions.  With the exception of Joseph, I have a lot of data on the children on the old list.  They must be part of the family somewhere.  If they aren't children of William and Susannah, then who are their parents?

 

William Toliver and Susannah "Sucky" Reeves were married about 1800.  Susannah "Sucky" Reeves5,910 was born Unknown in Virginia, United States.  Carole Conrad reported the date as 1789, but it must have been earlier if the marriage date is accurate.   Son Allen's 1880 census entry indicates that she was born in North Carolina.  She appeared in the census in 1820 in Grayson, Virginia, United States.  It lists 2 males 10-15, 1 male 16-18, 1 male 18-25, 2 females under 10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 26-44 and 2 slaves.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Grayson, Virginia, United States.  It lists 1 male 5-9, 1 male 15-19, 1 male 50-59, 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19, 1 female 40-40 and 1 slave.  Some researchers believe that William returned from Indiana for a while and is the male 50-59 in this census, but this has not been proven.  Grayson Co., Virginia Deed Book 6, page 468, dated Dec. 3, 1832, reported "Heirs of George Reeves, Sr. deceased to Susannah Toliver, County of Grayson for $400, 200 acres Grayson Co., VA, Bush Creek on Beaver Dam."  Heirs signed: William Reeves, Andrew Cox, Prudence Cox, B. Austin, Ann (x) Austin, Polly (x) Doughten, Zachariah Osborne, Charity Osborne, Jane Edwards, Jesse Reeves, Samuel Phipps, Elizabeth (x) Phipps, David Cox, Lucy (x) Cox.  Witnessed: Andrew Cox, Allen Tolliver, Madison Tolliver.  Susannah sold 150 acres on Brush Creek to Zachariah Osborne on Aug. 29, 1833; witnessed by Hardin Cox, John Barker, Madison Toliver, David Cox, and Solomon Osborn.  Proven April 1, 1835.

Grayson County, VA, tax lists:
1814-1815      Susannah Tolliver 0 polls
1820-1823      Susannah Talipher 1 poll
1824                 Susannah Toliver 1 poll, 1 black tithe, 1 horse, $.59 tax
1825                 Susannah Toliver 1 poll
1826-1827      Susannah Taliaferro 0 poll
1828-1830      Susannah Toliver 1 poll

 

She died Unknown.  There is little agreement among family researchers as to when or where she died.  Carole Conrad reported that she died after April 1, 1835, possibly in Indiana.  Based on the records that have been found so far, it seems likely that Susan did not die before this date.  Also, there is a Susan Toliver in the 1840 Lawrence County, Indiana, census that could be her.  However, many researchers believe that she stayed in Virginia and died there, with proposed dates ranging from 1835 to 1854.  Susan Seidenfeld reported that her father had written in her family tree chart book that Elizabeth "Betty" Reeves (who married Samuel Phipps, her 3rd great grandfather, and who was a sister to Susannah Reeves) was "said to have come from Portugal".  The phrase "said to have come from Portugal" was a euphemism.  During the nineteenth century, free people of color sometimes identified themselves as Portuguese or Native American in order to avoid being classified as black in the segregated slave societies.  One such group was the Melungeons, who were a loose collection of families of diverse origins who migrated, settled near each other, and intermarried, mostly in Hancock and Hawkins counties in Tennessee, nearby areas of Kentucky, and in Lee County, Virginia.  Their ancestors can usually be traced back to colonial Virginia and the Carolinas.  In general, they were various mixtures of white, black and Native American blood.  Many Toliver researchers have reported family stories of Native American blood in the family, but no proof has been found.  If Susannah Reeves and her siblings were Melungeon, this could explain the family stories.  However, this is purely speculation.  To date, no proof has been found.

 

William Toliver and Susannah Reeves had the following children:

 

              2              i.   Elizabeth Toliver, born June 2, 1813.

              3             ii.   Allen Toliver, born 1803.

              4            iii.   Andrew Jackson Toliver Sr., born 1807.

She appeared in the census in 1850 in Salisbury Precinct, Coles, Illinois, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Hutton Township, Coles, Illinois, United States.

 

She died on February 8, 1862 at the age of 48 in Coles, Illinois, United States.  Based on the dates, it seems likely that she died in childbirth with her last child.  She was buried at Whetstone Cemetery in Coles, Illinois, United States.

 

Elizabeth Toliver and John Calvin Davis were married on December 18, 1828 in Lawrence, Indiana, United States (book A, page 267).  John Calvin Davis15,12 was born on April 28, 1809 in Kentucky, United States.  He was a farmer.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Salisbury Precinct, Coles, Illinois, United States.  It lists John (44), Elizabeth (39), Comodore (21), James (19), Lucinda (16), Greenbury (14), Nathaniel (11), William (10), Franklin (7), John (4), Catharine (3) and Sarah (1).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Hutton Township, Coles, Illinois, United States.  It lists John (54), Elizabeth (50), Green (23), Nathan (22), William (19), Franklin (17), John (14), Catharine (12), Sarah (10), Mahala (8), Fountain (7), Samuel (5) and G.W.

3.  Allen Toliver5,10,14 was born in 1803 in Grayson, Virginia, United States. He was a farmer.

 

Not all researchers agree that this Allen Toliver is the son of William Toliver and Susannah Reeves.  There are some that report him as the son of John Toliver and Tabitha Howell, and his wife as Susan Mash.  It is not known which set of data is correct.

 

He appeared in the census in 1850 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States.  It lists Allen (46), Susan (47), Tabitha (20), Jesse (19), John (17), Polly (15), Palina (13), Charity (12) and Susan's nephew Eli Toliver (28).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  It lists Allan (57), Susan (60), J.W. (23), Tabitha (25), Polly (22), Palina (20) and Charity (18).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Sparta Township, Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  It lists Allen (67), Susannah (70) and Bithy (40).  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  It lists Allen (76), Susan (80), daughter Birtha Combs (45) and grandson John Moxley (17).

 

He died about 1892 at the age of 89 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  His widow Susan applied to the court for a year's allowance out of Allen Toliver's possessions, as provided by law on April 4, 1892, so he likely died earlier that year or late in 1891.

 

Allen Toliver and Susan Toliver were married on October 16, 1825.  They were first cousins.  Susan Toliver5,10,14, daughter of John Toliver and Tabitha Howell, was born in 1803 in North Carolina, United States.  She was likely born in Wilkes County.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Ashe, North Carolina, United States. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Sparta Township, Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  She died in 1892 at the age of 89 in Alleghany, North Carolina, United States.  Her will was probated June 10, 1892 in Alleghany, North Carolina.  Daughter Perlina Billings and granddaughter Nely Douglass received property.  Son Jesse was executor.

 

Allen Toliver and Susan Toliver had the following children:

 

           21              i.   Jane Toliver, born February 20, 1826.

100.  William Maxfield "Bill" Toliver13,5,12,14,20,2223 was born on September 5, 1867 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  His middle name must have been for his grandfather, Maxfield Wilson.

 

He was a farmer and lumberman.  James Lane related that in the early 1900's there street cars that ran between French Lick and West Baden.  William bought a car and started providing taxi service (they were called jitneys at the time) for the same price as the street cars.  This competition eventually forced the street cars out of business sometime in the 1920's.

James related this story about staying with his grandparents, William and Lavinia Toliver.  Viney fixed biscuits and gravy for breakfast nearly every morning.  William would eat breakfast holding grandson Bob (Chester Robert Lane) on his knee.  They would both have gravy all over their faces.

Ritter & Son in charge.  He is survived by his wife, four daughters and two sons, Mrs. Harley Springer, Miss Lorena Toliver and Clem Toliver of French Lick, Mrs. Chester Lane of West Baden, Miss Nellie Toliver of Colorado Springs, Colo. and Clinton of Oklahoma."  The Springs Valley Herald (July 18, 1940) reported "William M.

101.  Elizabeth Sarah "Lizzie" Toliver13,5,12,2023 was born on July 30, 1869 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  The marriage index lists her as Sarah E. Toliver. 

 

She appeared in the census in 1870 in Orangeville Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Orangeville Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1900 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

She died on February 27, 1913 at the age of 43 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Her death certificate reported the following: cause of death was gastric ulcer, occupation was housekeeper, marital status was married to William Charles.  The Springs Valley Herald (March 6, 1913) reported "Elizabeth Toliver Charles was born near Orangeville, Indiana, July 30th, 1869.  She was the daughter of George and Cornelia Wilson Toliver and was the oldest daughter of that family.  She died in the early morning of Feb. 27th, 1913, aged 43 years, 6 months and 28 days.  Lizzie grew up into a happy, wholesome, young woman.  Her gentle disposition won for her the love of everybody with whom she came in contact.  On May 3rd, 1888, she was married to Will A. Charles, who survives her.  Comparatively all of her married life was spent in the house where she died, familiarly known as the Aunt Sallie Campbell home, and there she particularly endeared herself to us all by her open heart and hospitality which was no-wise changed from former years.  Few of her friends indeed, are those who could not recall Lizzie's hearty invitations to her home, and her kindly ministry in it.  For many years she has been a consecrated Christian woman, and was a faithful member of Ames Chapel M.E. Church. Lizzie's Christian life was the kind that counts for God.  It's fruitage was that of the spirit. Galatians 5:22 reads The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.  Against such there is no law, and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh.  And so it was with our loved one.  The husband and mother, the brothers and sisters are grief stricken.  The companionship is broken, the comforting counsel is gone, but we know that in her own suffering (and for years she bore affliction) Lizzie found not only comfort but joy in her Christian service and she would bid you turn to her Savior and make Him your comforter in these dark hours.  She would bid you rejoice in her heavenly birthday, where she has gone like stepping forth into another room, to greet her Savior and the loved ones there and to make heaven nearer to us all for her going.  There are left besides scores of friends, the husband, brothers, sisters and other relatives.  The funeral services were held at Ames Chapel on Saturday, March 1st, by her pastor Rev. O.E. Haley and Rev. Raaf, of Bloomfield, her former pastor, and the body laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining, beneath a blanket of beautiful flowers, each one a mute tribute of love for this life not lived long, but lived so well."  She was buried on March 1, 1913 at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

Elizabeth Sarah "Lizzie" Toliver and William A. "Willie" Charles were married on May 3, 1888 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book H-1. page 122).  William A. "Willie" Charles2,5,12,14,23, son of Seth Charles and Sarah E. Campbell, was born on April 17, 1866 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  John Toliver's descendants chart listed him as Charles Wilson.  However, all of the other available records make it clear that this is incorrect.  William and Wilbur were twins.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists William (14) living with grandmother Sarah Field Campbell.  He appeared in the census in 1880 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  His surname was incorrectly listed as Campbell.  He appeared in the census in 1900 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists William (34) and Sarah (30).  He appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists William (44) and Lizzie (41).  The census lists them as not having any children.  He appeared in the census in 1920 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. I t lists William (52) living with his brother Wilbur.  His occupation was laborer.  He appeared in the census in 1930 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists William (64), Martha (53) and Mary (4).  He appeared in the census in 1940 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists William (73), Martha (64) and Mary (14).  His obituary reported that Mary was adopted.  His occupation was hotel watchman.  His highest level of education was 8th grade, Martha's was the same.  This census raises questions.  FAG and the Lost River DAR transcriptions report that Martha died in 1936, but the person in this census appears to be the same one in the 1930 census,  William's obituary reports that his wife survived him, and Martha is listed on his death certificate.  Are the Martha of the censuses and the Martha of the cemetery records different people?  He died on September 8, 1940 at the age of 74 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States.  The cemetery transcription posted on the Orange County USGenWeb site lists the date as July 22, 1940.  His death certificate reported the following: cause of death was uremic poisoning due to chronic hepatitis, occupation was night watchman, marital status was married.  The Springs Valley Herald (September 12, 1940) reported "William A. Charles, 74, died at his home on Adams Street Sunday, September 8th after a long illness.  Mr. Charles was born in Orange County, the son of Seth and Susan E. Charles.  He served as night watchman at the French Lick Springs Hotel for several years.  Rev. Perry Key, assisted by Rev. James Austin and Rev. Floyd Elliott, was in charge of the funeral services at Ames Chapel Tuesday afternoon, followed by interment in the church cemetery.  W. V. Ritter & Son were the funeral directors.  He leaves a wife and adopted daughter."  He was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

               

102.  John Toliver13,16,2021 was born on September 10, 1870 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Clint Toliver credits the notes of Mae Minnie Toliver Wilson for John's birth date.  However, the cemetery transcription shows 1871-1873.  He died on September 30, 1871 at the age of 1 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He was buried at Springer Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

         

103.  Barney Toliver13,16,2021 was born on July 19, 1872 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Clint Toliver credits the notes of Mae Minnie Toliver Wilson for Barney's birth and death dates.  However, his grave stone shows 1875 - 1875. He died on February 16, 1875 at the age of 2 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He was buried at Springer Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

104.  Lucy Jane Toliver13,5,12,14,2021 was born on January 18, 1874 in Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Her death certificate reported 1871, but this conflicts with the birth of her siblings.  The 1880 census and her marriage record indicate a year of 1874, which seems more likely.  Clint Toliver said that the notes of Mae Minnie Toliver Wilson reported the year as 1881.

An article in the Orleans Progress Examiner (October 6, 2004) reported in part "King turned 102 on Monday and will celebrate with around 50 relatives on Saturday in Indianapolis.  Born Oct. 4, 1902, she spent her early years in Orangeville.  Ora moved with her family to Orleans when she was in the fifth grade ... Upon moving to Orleans, the family bought a 120-acre farm near the Old Union area ... after grade school, King graduated from Orleans high school in 1920 ... She attended one summer at Indiana University but had taught school children prior to attending college.  She taught school at Wesley Chapel School, and said about her teaching career, 'It wasn't much fun, it had all eight grades, and in most of the grades, you had just one in the class.'  She added, 'Sometimes I wonder how I did it cause I just graduated (from high school) in the spring', making her just a few years older than some of her students.  Ora married George Washington King when she was about 22 years old.  The couple had three daughters.  Her oldest daughter, Betty, had a bad heart and died when she was about 11.  George King died Jan. 18, 1945 at the age of 41 ... Ora never remarried or even dated ... Ora moved to Indianapolis and lived there for around 30 years, helping out at Ellen's when she went to school ... After moving back to Orleans, on the place where she and her husband had lived, where Sharon now lives, she continued her independence.  She drove a car and mowed grass until in her 80's."

An article in the Bedford Times-Mail (June 5, 2010) reported "Ora Toliver King won’t make it to tonight’s Orleans High School alumni banquet.  But the 107-year-old Orleans alumna won’t be overlooked as those who gather for the annual event take time to salute this year’s honor classes.  That means there will be a reference to the 90th anniversary of the Orleans High School class of 1920.  That was Ora’s class.  As president of the Orleans Alumni Association, Robert Henderson said, 'There were 24 in the Orleans High School graduating class of 1920.  We do plan to recognize Mrs. King ... as much as we are aware, our oldest living Orleans alumni.”  He continued, “And while she will be unable to attend the event, we certainly want to send her our heartfelt best wishes and thoughts during this particular time.'  Ora’s longevity was called to my attention a few weeks ago by Sue Claxton, a great-niece.  Then, a few days ago, Ora’s niece, Dorothy White of Paoli, mentioned it to me, as well, letting me know about Ora’s distinction among Orleans alumni.  I caught up with Ora’s daughter, Ellen Robbins of Greenwood, who explained that her mother spends her time these days at the Paoli Health and Living facility.  And, although Ora isn’t up to attending tonight’s alumni banquet, Ellen said of her mother, 'She’s a very capable ... lady. Her mind is excellent. Her body is weak. Her hearing is bad. Her sight is bad.'  In her younger days — her late 80s — Ora would attend alumni banquets.  As I was speaking with Ellen on the phone on Wednesday, it wasn’t difficult for us to determine exactly when Ora had gone to the Orleans banquet the last time.  'It was the day of the tornado,' Ellen told me.  I responded, 'That was 20 years ago today.'  That particular alumni banquet, on June 2, 1990, honored Ora’s class on the 70th anniversary of its graduation.  Ora had gone to the banquet with Ellen, her husband Chuck, and with another daughter, Sharon Zimmerman and her husband Wayne.  Three of Ora’s classmates had been in attendance that year, Ellen reported.  Ora began life in Orangeville, where she was born on Oct. 4, 1902. After graduating from high school, she became a teacher.  She taught for only two years before she married George King.  He died in 1945 and Ora went to work at the Reliance factory in Orleans and later took jobs in the Indianapolis area for a number of years before returning to Orange County to live.  Ora and George had three daughters.  Betty was the oldest and died when she was 11.  Ellen, now 79 and also a graduate Orleans High School, was the middle daughter.  Sharon was four years younger than Ellen.  She died earlier this year.  'My sister and her husband bought our home place (south of Orleans on Ind. 37), and Mother bought a mobile home and put it on the old home place,' Ellen said.  Ora lived in the mobile home for a few years, but later moved in with Sharon and Wayne.  She stayed with them until early this year when Sharon became ill and could no longer care for her.  That’s when Ora went to the Paoli nursing facility.  Ellen said she and Chuck drive from Greenwood to visit Ora twice a week.  Although Ellen and Sharon also graduated from Orleans High School, Ellen said she won’t get to go to the alumni banquet this evening to hear the words shared in honor of her mother.  'I wish I could be there,' she said.  Orleans alumni who will be in attendance will no doubt be impressed by the fact the school has the opportunity to recognize a living graduate from 90years ago. 'We think that’s pretty incredible,' Robert said."

 

She died on February 16, 2011 at the age of 108 at Paoli Health and Living Center in Paoli, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Her death certificate reported the following: cause of death was pneumonia, residence was Paoli, Orange, Indiana, occupation was cafeteria worker, marital status was widow.  The Bedford Times-Mail (February 17, 2011) reported "Ora T.

I weighed 2 ½ pounds at birth.  Dad had gone down the road to get Aunt Fannie to stay with mom while he went for a doctor.  Before Aunt Fannie got there, mom got up to use the chamber pot, and I was born on the floor (just missed the pot!) 

 

I was a very puny child.  I missed two full months of school in the fifth grade and didn't get promoted.  I cried so hard (and wouldn't go home) that my teacher marked my card “Promoted to the 6th Grade.”  But I learned years later while helping out in the Superintendent's office that she hadn't changed the office records.  I got by with it [presumably meaning she enrolled in the 6th grade anyway] and next year didn't miss a day.

 

I almost died of diptheria in 1911.  Mom wouldn't give up.  As a last resort, she poured a teaspoonful of coal oil [kerosene] down my throat; it broke up the congestion and I lived.

 

By the Fourth of July, 1931, Chee [Ermel's nickname for husband Chester] got a call to come work at a casino in Saratoga Springs, New York.  The “great depression” was on.  He had to go!  It lasted until mid-September.  He sent for me to come up there during the last two weeks.  So Chee's mom and a hired girl (you could get one for $3.00 a week!) kept the boys – Jim three and Bob about ten weeks.  I stayed with Aunt Dessie in Indianapolis and she saw that I got on the right train about 6 PM.  I had never seen a sleeper or dining car –and all alone!  Scared?  Yeah!  But that two weeks was a wonderful time!

 

July, 1934, I went to Los Angeles where Chee had found work in the Cotton Club next to MGM studios.  In July, I got this telegram with $50.00 which said “Come on out at once.”  How impossible!  Me with 2 boys (3 and 5 years old), a model A Ford, gravel roads mostly, and my $50.00 check!!!  But I did.  Edie [Chester's sister] had just graduated from high school and her parents gave her a little money to go with me.  (Remember that was during depression times.)  My sis, Nell, lived in Colorado Springs and we stayed there two days.  While there, we had to put in a new battery.  What about flat tires?  Didn't have any.


The News of Yesteryear section in the March 19, 2014 issue of the Springs Valley Herald reported the following from March 22, 1956: "Mrs. Tommy Edwards was elected president of the Psi Iota Xi sorority at its annual election held Monday night at the West Baden Springs hotel.  She succeeds Mrs. Chester Lane."

Hattie Ermel Toliver and Chester Gwynn Lane were married on November 25, 1927 in Shoals, Martin, Indiana, United States.  Harry Lane reported that Ermel worked as a ticket-taker at the local cinema in high school and Chester used to hang around and "pester" her.  Eventually they started dating.  James Lane asked Ermel why she and Chester were married in Shoals and vaguely recalled being told something about it not appearing in the local paper if they were married out of the county.   Chester Gwynn Lane5,14,20,2324,43,4548, son of Charles Edward Lane and Emma Dot Connell, was born on November 2, 1906 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States (book H-6, page 38).  He and his brother Clarence owned two gambling establishments, the Club Chateau in West Baden and the Green Acres Club in French Lick (their uncle, Perry C. Lane operated the Indiana Club, directly across from the Chateau Club).  Both of them worked for a brief time at casinos in Lake Tahoe, NV and Las Vegas, NV.  Casinos, Copperheads, Pioneers and Politicians reported "The Club Chateau, adjacent to the Indiana Club, provided casino operations, eventually became a Baptist parsonage and is at this writing a private residence."  It went on to say, "The 1950's club closings were dramatic incidents in the history of the valley.  On June 12, 1950, matters came to a head when Lieutenant Albert R. Stiles of the Indiana State Police at Jasper ... confiscated roulette, dice, and poker equipment at the Gorge and at the Club Chateau ... The Gorge and Club Chateau were again raided the week preceding the Kentucky Derby held the first Saturday in May 1951.  Law enforcement officers besieged the Club Chateau on Thursday evening, May 3, arresting three operators ... twelve visitors were also arrested." The Green Acres Club was only open for a short while.  Bowing to pressure from the authorities, Chester converted the building into a motel around 1954.  The original building burned to the ground in 1959 during a flood, and Chester and Ermel built a new motel on the same site.  Ermel Lane retired and sold the motel in 1975, but the new owners kept the name Lane's Motel.  In November 1994, a fire once again burned the motel to the ground, and a new motel was built on the same site.  As of 2016, the owners continue to use the name Lane's Motel.  He appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1920 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He graduated in 1925 at French Lick High School in Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1930 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Chester (23), Ermel (23) and James (1).  They were renting a house at 217 Walnut Street in French Lick.  His occupation was clerk at the Indiana Club.  He appeared in the census in 1940 in Prospect, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Chester (33), Ermel (33), Jimmie (10), Robert (8) and Harry (2).  His occupation was clerk in a private business.  He died on June 24, 1963 at the age of 56 at Orange County Hospital in Paoli, Orange, Indiana, United States.  James Lane related that Chester had colon cancer about 1959.  After treatment, which improved his life somewhat, the cancer reappeared in his bones, and perhaps in his lungs.  Chester's last trip to the Orange County Hospital began with James and Ermel helping him into the back seat of the car to take him to the hospital.  However, they only made it as far as the Gulf filling station in West Baden when Chester said that he didn't think he could make it.  They called an ambulance to pick him up.  Chester's bones were so weakened by his cancer that his collar bone broke in the process of getting him into the car.  He died in the hospital about two weeks later.  The hospital put a cot in his room, and Ermel stayed with him all the time.  His death certificate reported the following: cause of death was pneumonia and colon cancer, residence was French Lick, Indiana, occupation was motel operator, marital status was married.  He was buried on June 26, 1963 at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.
