Hello, I am not a descendant of the Towar Family however I am working on a local history of Towar Gardens, a subdivision began in Meridian township, Ingham Co., Michigan circa 1920 when George Morris Towar passed away and his son James Delos Towar subdivided the farm. This area is today a part of East Lansing, Michgian. I have a copy of the Towar family history written 0/10/1910 for George W. Towar.
It states Charles Towar married Charlotte Thompson Alloa , Scotland March 14, 1766. It list their 13 childern and many of their children.
My 4th great uncle Isaac Carl married two of John Towar's daughters. John being a son of above mentioned Charles and Charlotte. I am looking for any Towar descendant who may have historical information on the Towar Gardens subdivision or photos of it early developement.
If you do not have the Towar booklet and or family history, I would be glad to share what I have with you. How are your related to this family?

Hi, I don't know if you have seen this web page but you may find it interesting. I have been to Alloway several times and have always admired the estate and Mill as well as the land office of Henry Towar. I am not a descendant of the Towar famiy but have information on Isaac Carl and his two Towar wives. Isaac was a brother to my GGGgrandfather Samuel Carl. I am currently working on a community history near East Lansing, Michigan in a subdivision called Towar Gardens. This area was subdivided in the late 1920's by James Deloss Towar after his father George Morris Towar died. I am looking for a descendant who may have photo's of the orginal entrance gate to the subdivision and photos of the old Towar mansion that stood on Lake Lansing Road.
If you know of anyone who may have such photo's or family stories of the area, please let me know. Thanks

Is there anything in the booklet re: Henry Towar b 1802 and Polly Glover? He was the son of Capt Henry Towar of Alloa, Scotland. I think they may have lived in Wayne Co, NY

Henry Thompson Towar married Polly Grover and they had 4 children, however the booklet list only three.
Charles born 12/31/1822 married Almira Smith 6/30/1850. and they had three children : Frederick Dean, Grace, and Henry Thompson Towar.

Martha, married Alphonzp Platte, had 2 children, Ario and Joan Garnett Platte.

Elizabeth married Henry C. Redner had 1 child Laura Louise Redner.

Henry Towar Senior (father of the above Henry)died at the home of his son in law Dr. Grover who I presume is the brother of The above Polly Grover?
e mail me if you desire more info. and let me know of the relationship to yourself to the Towar Family.
