Thomas TOVREA (d. June, 1807) of Anderson Co., TN
I am researching the TOVREA family of Anderson Co., TN. The surname was spelled TOVERA and TOBERY in court records.
My earliest known Tovrea ancestor was Thomas TOVREA, who first appeared in Anderson Co., TN records in March of 1804 when he purchased land from Manpage VOWELL. Thomas'wife's name was Dorcas. Known children were John, Jane, and Robert. There was also a Phillip who could have been a son, nephew, or brother. Thomas died in Anderson Co., TN, in June of 1807.
My next Tovrea ancestor was Thomas' son John, who was born 1770 - 1780, and died Bet. 1831 - 1832 in Anderson Co.,TN. He married MARY Abt. 1800. She was born Bet. 1775 - 1782, and died Aft. 1860 in Probably IL.
Children of JOHN TOVREA and MARY are:
1. CHARLOTTE TOVREA, b. Abt. 1804, TN; d. Bet. 1851 - 1860, Anderson Co., TN. (My line) She married THOMAS HALE Abt. 1827. He was born Abt. 1806 in TN.
2. BARTLEY TOVREA, b. Abt. 1820; m. MATILDA LOW, 03 June 1833, Knox Co., Tennessee. He left Tennessee and went to IL.
3. RACHEL TOVREA.
4. JOHN TOVREA.
CHARLOTTE TOVREA, b. Abt. 1804, TN; d. Bet. 1851 - 1860, Anderson Co., TN. (My line) She married THOMAS HALE Abt. 1827. He was born Abt. 1806 in TN. Children are:
A. MARY JANE HALE, b. January 1828,(my line)
She married James R. RUSSELL.
B. KATHARINE HALE, b. Abt. 1829, TN.
C. JOHN HALE, b. Abt. 1836, TN.
D. ELMIRA HALE, b. Abt. 1838, TN.
E. LOUISA HALE, b. Abt. 1843, TN.
I would like to hear from any Tovrea researcher, especially Thomas' line. Does anyone know where Thomas was before he appeared in Anderson Co., TN?

I feel quite certain that your A. T. Tovreas was related to my Anderson Co., TN Tovreas. The Mary you mentioned was the wife of John Tovrea, who was the son of the Thomas Tovrea who died in Anderson Co. in 1807. John died 1831-32 in Anderson Co. My Charlotte Tovrea Hale, daughter of John, died in Anderson Co. sometime between 1850 and 1860. Her mother Mary and brother Bartley went to IL. I would like to hear from you about your line, so please e-mail me.

My oldest known relative I can find is A.T. Tovrea born 1834 in East Tn. He is married to Rosa J. and was in Kansas in 1880. All their kids were forn in Ill. so may have been there first. I found a Mary Tovery in Anderson Co. Tn. in 1850 may be kin.

Arthur Trumble Tovrea born 1834 TN and who married Rosa Jane Hood born 1837 SC, was the oldest son of Bartley Tovera and Mathilda Lowe of Anderson Co., TN. Bartley and Mathilda migrated to Sparta, Randolph Co., IL around 1835. The rest of their 8 children were born there. Arthur and family can be located on the 1860 & 1870 Fed Census for Randolph Co., IL. I do not know where or when he died, but his son Edward Ambrose Tovrea was the founder of the Tovrea line in Arizona.

I THINK I HAVE THE GENERATIONS RIGHT YOUR CHARLOTTE ( OR IS IT CHARLOTTIA ) AND BARTLEY MY RELATION ARE BROTHER AND SISTER. I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THE TOVREAS NOW. MY SISTER HAS MET SOMEONE IN ARIZONA ( JEROME ). I DID COPY THE 1831 WILL OF JOHN AND SEE BOTH CHARLOTTE AND BARTLEY ARE MENTIONED. I HAVE BEEN ADDING TO MY TREE LATELY AND THIS TOVREA FAMILY SITE WAS VERY HELPFUL.
