Trying to indentify the William Tousley family. William was born on Mar 12, 1779 in Salisbury, CT. Married Charlotte Houghton, born 1786, died Oct 1863. Charlotte was from Hudson, NY. Reference records from Morrisville Rural Cemetery, Madison County, NY.
Review of CT records at New England Ancestors did not reveal a William born in Salisbury during that year.
Youngest of six children was John H.Tousley, 1827-1905. According to a history of Chautauqua County, NY his father, William, was of New England stock, was born in CT and moved to NY in early manhood. William’s spouse was Charlotte Houghton, daughter of John Houghton. John Houghton was born in England and came to this county before the Revolution. He was impressed into General Burgoyne’s Army, escaped and joined the Colonial Troops (found no other record). John H (1827-1905) was born in Morrisville, NY moved at a young age to Rushford, NY. Married Mary Elizabeth Parker, then moved to Jamestown, NY.
Some additional research, show other children of William and Charlotte (need additional verification) as:
Sarah M Tousley, 1813-1902. Married Orvillers Coman.
Hiram Tousley, 1816-. Married Harriet
Edward D. Tousley, 1820-1894. Married Harriet
Deborah Jane Tousley, 1822-. Married Leonard Leland, 1820.
??? Tousley.
Any help with verification or addition to the above information would be appreciated.
