TOLIVER, ISOM,MAXWELL: Jacob Toliver was born about 1799 in Ashe County, NC. On 27 Dec 1821 he married Susannah (Susan) Isom (born about 1806 in Virginia to John S and Rebecca (Cole) Isom) in Grayson County, Virginia. They were in Martin Twp, Lawrence County, Indiana by 1833 and had moved to Pixley Twp, Clay County, Illinois by the mid to late 1840’s. Jacob was dead by October 1854. Jacob and Susannah’s children were (at least) Sarah, b-1830 Vi; Mahala, b-Jan 1833 In; Darcus, b-1836 In; Wilburn, b-1838 In; John, b-1841 In; Harriet(?), b-1842 Il and George A, b-1843 In. Unconfirmed research indicates Jacob Toliver’s parents were Jesse Toliver and Francis (Franky) Stamper. Bible and Revolutionary War records of Jesse indicate that he did indeed have a son Jacob born 27 July, 1799. I would like to know when Susannah (Isom) Toliver died and where she and Jacob are buried. I would also like to communicate with any researchers that are researching the Tolivers that moved from Ashe County, NC (some apparently through Alabama) to South-central Indiana (Orange, Lawrence, Greene and Owen) to Eastcentral Illinois (Clay, Richland, Jasper). Several of the Tolivers listed in the Clay County, Il Cemetery Books have Lawrence County, Indiana connections including both living there and being born there. I am especially interested in John B Toliver and his wife Soloma Miller (page 145 of Cem Book) who were from Ashe Co, NC, lived in Alabama (based upon the birth location of several of his children), moved to Lawrence County, In (where he owned land and sold out in 1839 ) and moved to Clay (or that area) where he died in 1863 at the age of 83. He is of the age to be our Jesse Toliver’s brother, but I have no proof of that. I am also interested in the two Toliver women (Susan and Francis) that married Alexander and John Maxwell in Lawrence County, In in 1841 and then moved to Clay County. Who were these women’s parents? I feel that many if not all of these Tolivers came from the same set of Toliver ancestors. Several researchers are trying to resolve this prolific and tangled family. I obviously would like to communicate with any current descendants and researchers of these people.
