Is anyone researching this J.T.Vail? I am looking for information on a William Vail that was born in Dyer county TN. in 1859. Hopefully I can make a connection between these two. William also moved on to Arkansas. Thanks for any leads.

Chicago: The Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1889. J. M. Toney, a leading citizen, stock trader and farmer of Richland Township, Washington Co., Ark., is a native of Lawrence County, Mo., born on the 12th of November, 1855, and is a son of Capt. J. C. and Elizabeth (Johnston) Toney, whose sketch appears in this work. Owing to the early death of his mother J. M. Toney was reared by his grandfather, J. W. Johnston, in Lawrence County, Mo. Mr. Johnston was born in Tennessee, and moved to Missouri at an early day, and became a very prominent citizen of Lawrence County. He was a Republican, and died in 1874 at the age of seventy years. At the age of twenty-one J. M. Toney left home and began traveling in the West. He was engaged in no particular business, but the most of his attention was given to stock trading, Texas, Iowa, Kansas, California, Oregon, Colorado and the Territories being the scenes of his operations. At the end of six years he located in Madison County, Ark., but in 1884 located on his present excellent farm in Washington County, where he bears the reputation of being a hardworking and prosperous farmer. February 3, 1884, he was married to Marietta Vail, a daughter of J. T. Vail, who was a leading citizen of Madison County. Mr. Vail was born in North Carolina, and married Elizabeth Robertson. He moved to Dyer County, Tenn., in the spring of 1847, and from there to Arkansas in 1866; he died in 1872. Elizabeth Vail was the mother of nine children, six now living, two sons, G. F. and J. R., now in Madison County, Ark., and four daughters. Mrs. Hattie Warren, Mrs. Toney, Mrs. Mattie Bishop, and Alice, unmarried, who lives with her two brothers. Mrs. Toney was born in Dyer County, Tenn., April 7, 1859, and became the mother of four children, only one of whom is now living, Eula Lou, born August 6, 1885. Mr. Toney is a Republican in his political views. Robert S.

I have had trouble thinking of him as an expert on more traditional languages, but I accepted the tradition at face value. Incidentally Cathy pointed out to me that the University of AL is in Tuscaloosa (city and county) which is some distance from Madison and Jackson Cos. where DW was located. Unless it was moved from the Madison Co., area (which I doubt), Cathy's information eliminates my theory about DW's teaching there, and, adds some support to Steve's thinking. Regards, Theron.

Here is a list of the Vails that are listed on this cd. If any interest you, you may request the information, or if not easy to transcribe bits of it, will send the whole page (s) to you by file. Like I may have mentioned in a previous disk, the information on here, is like the Long Island disc which does not seem to copy bits and pieces, only the whole page, and is uneditable, when copied. Any names mentioned as being pvts...were listed in rosters for the war of 1812. Others are in various other text info and lists. Vails, Benjamin Eliza Elizabeth George Pvt.

Hi Mary, Thank you for contacting me. I know that I had a couple researchers requesting info about Ohio Vails, but do not recall who they were.. You were one of them, I guess. :-) At the time I did not have any Ohio resources. I got a Marriage cd, for Ohio, as well as the Early Settlers of Ohio CD, so that is a start. The Early Ohio Settlers cd has some Vails listed, and will send a complete list to the Vail list in another message. If any of them are of interest to you, please let me know and I will send files to you. This cd is like the Long Island CD which only allows us to copy paste the entire page to file and not bits and pieces. Course I am writing up the information on the pages which might interest you, but if you want the whole page, listing others, let me know. I found what appears to be two Samuel Vails. I have no way of knowing if these are yours, but the time period is right. I think the dates that they served, are not convenient for these to be the same Samuel. What do you think? Samuel Vail, Pvt served in the company of Capt. Robert Gilchrist in an unknown county april 25-Oct. 26, 1812 ("Roster of Ohio Soldiers of 1812" pg. 317-319 vol 2, Early Settlers of Ohio CD Family Treemaker) Samuel Vail, Pvt. served in the company of Capt.

In a message dated 9/14/02 4:03:35 PM Central Daylight Time, tl2smith@flash.net writes: << Most interesting thing we knw about Daniel William VAIL/VALE is that he was a "leading professor of languages." His specialty and his location in Madison and Jackson Cos., AL have led me to speculate that maybe he taught at the University of Alabama. We have to ask: where did he get his education in languages? There were many VAILs in NJ; maybe he went to Princeton! But there's only questions and speculations - no answers. >> Theron, Is it not true that Cherokees had their own written language, perhaps the only Indian tribe to do so? I have an article about churches in New England setting up schools for the "heathen" Indian children - in particular Cherokees. The Cherokee children made excellent students, and in at least some cases, they ran circles around their white teachers! This was also true of Choctaws, although perhaps to a lesser extent than their Cherokee neighbors. This leads me to suggest that D. W. Vail may have been a Choctaw teaching amongst his tribe. It's no stretch to think that there were similar schools in New Jersey, so Princeton would not be out of the question, although Dartmouth or Yale would seem to me more likely. If I remember correctly, Dartmouth was originally founded to educate Indians. It also occurs to me that D. W. may have been an Indian who adopted the Vail name from a mentor or teacher named Vail. Wonder what his Civil War records would reveal. Steve Vail
