Surnames: Tolen, Rhoads Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lg.2ADE/1187.2 Message Board Post: Benjamin Tolbert Rhoads, the son of my GGGG Uncle Jacob Rhoads, married a Mariam Tolen on 10 Jun 1838 in Edgar County. Mariam is believed to have been born around 1815 in Kentucky, which indicates that the Tolens of Edgar County were not from Ireland, at least for a generation or more earlier than that of Silas's father, unless there was more than one Tolen line in Edgar County at that time. If anyone knows of any connection between Mariam Tolen and Isaac Fountain Tolen, please let me know. Benjamin and Mariam are buried in Odgen Cemetery, Symmes Township, Edgar County, and the marker is still extant.
