Tuvell Lines

Surnames: Tuvell, Bivens, Brinkmann
In the late '60s my mother Willagene Tuvell Mock corresponded with several of the individuals researching the Tuvell lines from the same area in Ohio and continued to do so over the next 30-40 years. She attended family reunions and with others tried to find the connecting generation that would link the at least 3 separate lines from Ross and Pike Counties in Ohio. That was before the internet!

I have all the correspondance and copies of working papers from Blanche Hatmaker-James B. and Salena Strutt, Jean Foor which is the Susan/Susannah Brown line, and wills and stuff from the William A. Line.

Since family research was then done the old fashion way, I have copies of marriage/birth/death certiificates and wills/proof of heirship of a whole lot of Ohio/Ill Tuvells. I would be willing to send a copy to those who want them.

I have also copies of birth/marriage/death (1870,80,90's) cetificates for a bunch of Tuvells that lived in Braidwood,ILL that do not seem to be part of the Ohio group at all. They list New York as place of birth on the oldest certificates.

There is also a "Tuvell" grave in the cemetery in Cerro Gordo that we have never linked to any family line but has to fit somewhere.

The main reason for this note however, is to hope that together we might find that "missing" generation link now that we have the internet to search. A year or so I was given a clue that it might be found in "John Tuval" b abt 1793 in the census in Huntington Twsp in Ross County. We are looking for him having at least 3 sons---John b. abt 1816, Robert b. abt 1817, and George b. March 27, 1818 married Elizabeth Bivens < Reason Tuvell b. 1850 m. Elizabeth Brinkmann.

I am willing to share what I have but, would like it acknowledged that my mother did this research when it is passed to others.

Hello- I am interested in the information that you have on the Tuvell line. I decend from George and Elizabeth Tuvell. One of Georges sons, William , is my great grandfather. He married Sarah Litterst and lived in Cerro Gordo, Il. I located the name of Georges father as John from papers that my grandmother had written before she died. That is the furthest I have gone. I do have info from George on down the line if you don't have it already. I would love to see your info. I would be willing to pay for copies and shipping. Please let me know if you are willing to send me your information. Thanks , Andrea Kupferschmid.

Amazing! I am most definitely interested in anything that you have. My mother is a Tuvell and we are trying to trace her family history back to see if we are Jewish in fact. So in order to do that we need to trace back on the mother's side only. So I am trying to do as much research on here as I can but it's hard to tell who's related to whom. So far I know that a woman named Clara Alpers is my grandmother's grandmother I think.

I actually heard they may have had to change their names during the war from Tuval and Tubal to Tuvell. I'm not sure how true that is but it's interesting that we both have heard that info. Thank you for this post! It makes me want to start digging again.
