Looking for info on William Tollison born Yell co.Fathers name was William Grandshire Tollison.Any info on these Tollison's would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any info other than a LDS record/posting on Samuel Tollison who married Margaret McGaughey. It states that Wm "Grandsire" Tollison who married a Patsy(?) Hitson were his parents. Is this the correct family? Thank you.

I am seeking information on Samuel Tolleson, who I believe is the son of William "Grandsire" Tolleson. I too found the information in LDS website. Sam married Margaret E. McGaughey on Dec 23, 1842 in Lawrence Co., AL. They had the following children, Wm. L, Mary E., James C., Amanda J., Franklin, Roseanna, and Bev W.
I am descended from Roseanna who married Enoch Hunt Feb 23, 1882 in Yell Co., AR.
Would be interested in sharing information.

I was THRILLED to see your old message posted re: Sam Tolleson and hope this email address is still current for you. This is my line as I am descended from William LaFate brother to your Roseanna. I, too, some time ago found the marrige record naming Margaret E McGaughey as wife of Samuel Tolleson in Lawrence Co AL. I have not been able to "prove" who her parents were, but by proces of elimination using census records, it would appear that she is most likely daughter of JAMES H McGaughey & PATSY NORTON who had a daughter born 1823/1825. I've never found her given name nor anything about her other than census records so cannot prove she is our Margaret. Would love to correspond with you since we are obviously in the same family tree....... always fun to find another "cousin"

Hi, Yes, we are of the same TOLLESON family. I have files full of into so let me know what you need to fill in anything missing in your files. Basically, it goes like this....

They had children: William Lafate (my line) who md Mary Ellen "Polly" Phillips; Mary E, who md Charles Parker; Thebernan who died as infant; James A. who md Margaret Martin; Amanda Jane, who md Thomas Jefferson Taylor; Edward Franklin who died age 16; Roseanne M (your line) who md Enoch Hunt; Bev W who died as infant.

Thanks sue!! Any information is greatly appericated at this time! I am stuck on Decendants of William Tolleson at the moment and it is so confusing! Was there 3 williams before William S.H Tolleson?How about William lafate Tolleson Where does he fit In the family tree? Would samuel and James A be great grand fathers of mine? The history line gets bigger and bigger as i go along! But thanks for answering my post!

Yes, there are several Williams in our Tolleson line. I'll get some info put together for you later this week - the next 2-3 days are hectic for me at work so has to wait til I slow down. William Lafate Tolleson is my direct line -- he's s/o Samuel Tolleson and father of my Samuel Harvey Tolleson. Samuel Harvey (S.H.) was my great grandfather. Do you have the family information on Roseanne Tolleson Hunt ? Her marriage and her children? Let me know what you already have so I don't send duplicates. Sue

Sue Thanks again,I have so much info that im not sure what i have at this moment ,but if you can just send any it will help me sort out what i dont have.hope you can understand what Im saying. then william lafate could be my uncle right? thats what i mean so much going through my head I just cant keep it all straight but Im so glad i have what I have.moma and Daddy never talked much about the older family members and its so sad ,we coyuld all enjoy being together if they had.well I better get off .but i do appericate what you can do . Thanks Alta
