I'm trying to find out more about John Toffey (b: 2 May 1749, d: 17 Dec 1825 in Quaker Hill, Dutchess Co., NY). He married Abigail Akin on 12 Dec 1775 and her parents were John Akin and Margaret Hix (Hicks). I would appreaciate any help to find out where he came from and his parents. Thanks!

Sorry, I dropped Ancestry for a while, and just got on
John Toffey's parents were John C Toffey (b 1705) and Hannah Hewlett (b 1712) daughter of George Hewlett and Hannah Smith. I believe John C Toffey arrived in the US from England in about 1730 with Mary and Phebe, but I am not clear on that.
George Hewlett(b1683) is son of George (b1634) and Mary Bayliss(b1648) Mary is daughter of John Bayliss. Hannah Smith's father was Joseph Smith and mother was Hannah.
My lineage to the John of your inquiry is John begat Daniel begat George begat John J begat William V begat William E (me)
The John of your inquiry has a headstone in the cemetery in Pawling NY in an area locally known as Quaker Hill, NY
