Old Lost and Found
Joyce Morriss (29 May 1997)
I found the following information at the Scottsboro Alabama Library, published in "A
Maples Leaf" genealogy magazine, Rev #1, pg 447: William McCampbell Maples, b 9 May
1832 d 19 Apr, 1899, married MARY JANE TONEY, b 3 May 1845 in Hollytree, Jackson Co AL,
daughter of Elijah and Sarah Toney. Sarah Toney is living with her daughter's family in
the 1870 census. This record gives Sarah's age as 65 born in GA. I received a letter from
a "cousin" saying the Toneys were from Pennsylvania and that "Uncle
'Lija" went back to Philadelphia once a year up until the Civil War. Another source
leads me to believe that "Lija" may have a NC connection. Also, "Lija"
may have had a sister born in 1810 in KY named Jane (yr and state from 1850 Jackson Co AL
census) who married James M Campbell. I would very much like to hear from anyone who may
offer leads of these folks. Joyce
Arnold Toney (26 May 1997)
Any one have any relatives that lived in Georgia, Atlanta Area? Would love to hear from
you. Not many Toney's left but have some research such as dates of birth, dates of death,
etc.
Mark A. Toney (9 Apr 1997)
Seeking info on William Toney, born 1727, Buckingham Co. VA. He was married to a Margaret
Sutherland whose father was Philemon Sutherland. Both died in Franklin Co. VA. He is one
of my ancestors and this is as far as I have been able to make true connections without
speculation. Please contact if you have any info to share or if you have any quieries.
Thanks, Mark A. Toney
Dale Toney (9 Apr 1997)
I think that we may have talked before but anyway it is worth a try... do you know of any
toney's that could have migrated to NC because I have information that our family has been
in NC at least since early to middle 1800. Also there are quite a few of us in NC. Mostly
in western NC. It will be interesting to see if you have any listings from nc.. talk to ya
later, Dale Toney (dale@blueridge.net)
Priscilla Mitchem (7 Apr 1997)
I found this site on the internet and I was so excited. I am a decendent of the Toney
Family. We have a family tree going back to Poindexter Toney 1763 that was compiled by one
of my cousins. Don't think all of the info. has been proven. Has your research included
this Poindexter Toney? Priscilla Mitchem E-mail address emitchem@CWV.net
Thelma Johnson (7 Apr 1997)
I wonder if you are familiar with Toney River in Pictou County? The story is that a French
captain named Toney sailed frequently to this area to gather timber for ship's masts to be
sent back to France. This would probably be late 1700's or early 1800's. He married a
native lady (MicMac) and they had family. One of the sons was drowned in the local river
and it was then given the name of Toney River. There are still a number of MicMac families
at the Pictou Landing reservation with the surname of Toney. Thelma Johnson R R #2

Phyllis Patterson (18 Mar 1997)
I have seen your Toney Home Page. I am seeking info on my ancestor Noel Toney B ca 1783 NC
He married Vicky. They lived Hickman Co. Tn in early 1800's then settled in Jefferson Co.
Il by 1830. Have not been able to find him anywhere before Hickman Co. They had several
children and in the 1860's some went to Or. My ancestors stayed in Jefferson Co. Il. Would
appreciate any info on Noel or someone else who might be researching this family.
Sincerely Phyllis Patterson pjpat@digital.net
Erin Toney (13 Mar 1997)
I'm a California Toney, descended from I believe John Toney who was George washington's
body guard. Hence my line of Toney's has many George Washington Toney's in it. I have
traced my line back to Mason County Ill. Before that they were in Mo. and before that I
thnk OH. The gap comes in for me between John Toney and Elias Toney. Do you no any info or
resources that could put in the pieces? Thank you, Erin Toney
Roberto Tonei (16 Feb 1997) I read with much
interest the information about the Toney family. My name is Roberto Tonei and I often

could only trace my origins back to my grandparents. It would be of some interst to me to
find out more! If you can assist plese E mail me at tonei@xtra.co.nz

Need help!! Conducting research on great-great grandfather, Duncan Toney. Traced Duncan
and wife Harriett to Hatchuchebbee, (Russell County) Alabama per 1880 US Census. Unable to
locate prior to this period. Duncan was possibly Native American and may have been a
slave. Efforts to research along AL-GA border (Muscogee County, GA) have been fruitless.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. E-mail me: BLK32@aol.com B. Carroll

Do you know of anyone researching the name Toney in southern IL.? My GGG grandmother was
Emily Toney. She was married in Jefferson Co.IL in 1845 to Wm. J Crisel. I'm just starting
on the Toney line and could use some help. Happy Holidays. Sharlet LaBarbera

I'm guessing since Emily Toney married Wm J Crisel in 1845, she was probably born c1820. I
don't know if this will help anyone but these are from Hamilton Co and Jefferson Co., IL

Raquel Toney (11 Dec 1996)
I can't remember our E-mail address. Sorry! It is Compuserve and lots of numbers! Anyway,
this is great. My dad has been researching the Toney family for about 35 years and has
written several books. He is Benejemin Claude Toney in Texas. I have just downloaded a
data file and found my name on it! That was great. But I have a daughter who had not been
added. She is Maya Toney( just to confuse all of you she has kept my name. She was born
30/12/94 in London England at the Whittington Hospital. Hope that helps! I wish I could
remember my E-mail address. But will write back soon and tell you.
Raquel Toney London, England - Wednesday, December 11, 1996 at 13:44:14 (EST)
Dear Brian, My dad is Benjamin Claud Toney and lives in Springtown texas. Like I said before he has been researching the toney family for about 30 odd years and has written a book called "Toney- The First Millenium" going back to Malahulcius in 860ad. My dad does not have any idea about the internet and i haven't yet been able to tell him about this page. He will be thrilled. Hopefully I will be able to update information for him. My knowledge of the family is limited. I must admit I have never taken much interest. But now i have my daughter it has appealed to me more. Anyway pleased to meet you. My dad may be contacted at the following address.I'm sure he would love to share information. But i would rather not give it out publicly until I have asked him. It is Ben Toney, PO Box 449, Springtown, texas,76082. Bye for now. Raquel Toney London, England - Friday, December 13, 1996 at 4:23 AM (EST)
Dear Brian, I spoke to my dad today and he said it was fine to give out his address. He says he sells the book for $36 (which includes P+P) so as the homepage is non-commercial I don't know if it is ok for you to advertise this. I told him I had spoken to you and he says he would be interested to hear about your research. I was looking through Barbara's data base and found all my family on there, including myself! I found some discrepancies between her info and my dads and asked him about this. He said that her info seems to have come from another woman's book which is based on info from another woman in california(I don't know thier names) and unfortunately no one has been able to find this woman in California to confirm the info so my dad has been careful not to include it in his book. He also told me that the Toney's "owned " Walthamstow, London once and apparently the library there has some sort of tapestry dedicated to the Toney family. It is a few miles away from me so i think I will go and have a look. Owning walthamstow these days is not a great accolade though. Quite honestly it is a dump, but I will imagine more prosperous times on my visit!! Anyway my dad seems to have alot of info and could probably help alot of people asking for help. Unfortunately he hasn't stepped into the realms of cyberspace so anyone wishing to ask him will have to write in the old fashioned way!! Talk to you soon Raquel London, England - Monday, December 16, 1996 at 4:03 PM (EST)
