Markells and Tolands get confusing as they appear in different spellings basic facts: William Toland born29 May 1835 died age 77 buried on 31 Jan 1913 Beardstown, Cass County, Illinois. married Ellen David Markell July 1859 In Koschiusko Indiana I beleive this is where they show up as Markle and Tuland 1870 Census they are found in Pierceton, Koschusko, Indiana
1880 they are found in Oakland, Schuyler County Illinois, the interesting census is 1850 in Springfield, Clark County, Ohio he is living with the family of Jereemaih Folland-when I look at the written out census their F looks like a T to me. I had traced him to Clark County Ohio. This is what I have right now- I just retired, and I am again working on the genealogy I started before-- We had a fire I had three totes -only one had the top on it-- the open tops were too damaged to use-- I need to get into the closet and see what might be in the remaining tote-one thing to remember is that there is a Toland in the same area in Illinois that fights in thee Civil War that is not our William If you have anymore information please reply to me
