My grandmother was Mabel Elizabeth Toy from Vanport (Beaver Co) Pa. she married my grandfather, Lewis Bryson McCord in Kentucky. My grandfather was a Presbyterian minister. My father was James Bryson McCord and I would like to hear from anyone related to my grandmother. Her father was James Alexander Toy, his father was John Toy and his father was Robert Toy... I don't know anything about the Toy side of the family and would appreciate any help. I live in SC

My name is Brett Toy my husband's name is Patrick. We just married in May of 1998. Obviously his Surname is Toy. Most of his family is from Buffalo, New York area. I do not know much about the history, but the name James Alexander Toy does ring a bell. I will speak with my father-in-law (Robert Edward Toy), see what he knows and write again.
Good Luck!

Thankyou for your response to my message! Any information you could provide will be great. And if we are linked, I'd be glad to share what I have found out about my ancestors with your family. My grandmother(Mabel E Toy) brother, James Francis Toy lived in Baltimore,Md. And owned or had some interest in American Radiator. His daughter is Mary Ellen Toy, who married a Martien. That's all I have for now....Thanks Again.... Sincerely, Delores McCord

my father ralph alexander morcroft, had two brothers ,George Emerson Morcroft Esq & Gilbert Edmond Morcroft esq of pittsburgh pa his mother Edna Toy-Morcroft was one of 2 or 3 daughters of james Alexander toy and his wife Isabella (Bella) Mary Waggoner -toy ie my great grandparents on my fathers mother side) all burred in pittsbugh pa. we have a Mrs. McCord buried in our Union-dale cemetery plot, she is my grandmother's sister one Mabel L Loy , Bertha J toy- Greenway (married a minister named Greenway??) ,
they had a brother James Toy of Pittsburgh/Louisville Baltimore who took over, was handed down ie the Pres. of american standard radiator he followed after my great grandfather James Toy, one of the original partners/mangagement/& was the paymaster for what is now american standard ,I heard it originally was named "standard sanitary manufacturing company " in Pittsburgh and then Louisville KY . my uncle jim Toy (assemedly your grandfather) (son of great grand father Jim Toy moved the co to Baltimore. Back to your grandfathers 1st deceased wife, she was married to a Mccord , she died and your grandfather moved away to NC. we are all Presbyterians, from the toy origins in PGH. There is a Toy street in van port PA, I have seen it. we have fore-bearers that had a farm in Vanport. I have an old family tree chart on that toy side of my family . I guess you are my father Ralph's cousin i.e., Baby Alma toy-Marien. if so we met in ft Lauderdale , we had dinner with two daughters of baby Alma , and you visited my uncle Gilbert Morcroft later in Hollywood FL right? More later when and if you read this email .I'm confused not seeing the photos on file of the cemetery headstones, there was a 2nd minster or his wife buried in Union-dale also.
