I am looking for my gg grandmothers family. I do not know her first name. She married Thomas Purvis and had one son, Arthur w. Purvis. Thomas died and left her a widow with one child. She married a Tozier who had one son, I beleive his sons name was Howard Tozier. Mr. Tozier and the widow Purvis had 3-4 children together. Fern Tozier, Ida Tozier, "Lottie" Tozier and ?. She would have been born abt 1855-1860. She was widowed in 1883 and would have married Mr. Tozier after that. They lived in Patten, ME at one time. If any of this sounds familiar to you, please respond.

My maiden name is Tozier. My Grandfather Edward Tozier was from Houlton, Maine. He died in 1979. Wife's name was Geneva Tozier. My Fathers name is Elson Tozier. Still have cousins in that area but that is about all I know. Welcome to respond.

Hi, Do you know if your Tozier's came from the Miramichi area of New Brunswick? I have quite a few Edward and Elson Tozer/Toziers in my line and would love to make a connection. Some of the family moved to Maine around 1880 and settled in the Linneus, Littleton, and Houlton area.

I have an 1. Elson [1846-1911] son/o Ebenezer & Mary Ann Adams Tozer 2. Elson [no dates] son/o Frank Ernest & Geneva ??? [we all thought this was McBride, but the grandaughter tells me different]. This Elson was brother to my grandmother. The parents are Ernest Wilbur & Nellie May Cronkhite Tozier 3. To more Elson's in my database, but too old to fit the given profile.

Hi Jo, I think we are on the right track. Not sure if they are originally from New Brunswick, but almost positive. Nellie Tozier was my Grandfathers sister. They (Nelle) still reside in Houlton, Maine. Carrie was a sister of my Grandfather. My Grandparents are all deceased now so I am picking my mothers brain. My am not on speaking terms with my father and his name is Elson Tozier. My grandfathers wifes name was Geneva. Any light you can shed would be appreciated. Maybe between the both of us we can figure this Family tree out. Thanks Again. LYNN

Then Shelly [lives in NY] is your sister? If so, then we are from the same line. Your grandfather, Frank, was brother to my grandmother.
