johnarden@aol.comBelieve we are from the same tree.
John Tolar born Jan 2, 1762, Goochland Co, Va
marr Ann Pope. I have the data on this family that I found in one of the FTM CD's.
My ancestor is William. Found that William and Henry, in early 1800's, both from Cumberland Co, NC, obtained passports from Governor of GA to pass into that area.
It appears that Henry went on west into the
then wilderness and Indian Country of AL - and it appears that he died Oct 6, 1867 in
Tyler Co, TX.
My William had a son named William, who was my gr gr grandfather, who lived later in Worth Co, GA and came to SE AL in 1866.
I have a double dose of Tolars as my grandmother Shiver ws Merenda Tolar Shiver and my great grandmother in Worth Co, GA
was Merenda Tolar Shiver. My grandfather
Shiver marr his first cousin, who was named
after his mother! Also have some data from a 1978 letter from a lady in MO, who is researching this family and put forth some interesting data. Would like to share information with you and will be happy to add what little I have collected during past 25 years. I am a ret army officer and spent
six long years in D.C. area, where I started
researching my families. Found two William
Tolars in Craven Co, NC during 1800 census.
