Posted on: Washington Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Washington/10249 Surname: Tully, Toncray ------------------------- Meredith, Thanks for the new information about my family history. Abingdon is in Washington Co. VA (not MD). Way over near the southwest tip. I've been corresponding with Jim Toncray, too, and most of the info I've found to date comes from him. You've added to that substantially! The following is a little summary I wrote for my family. Jim says that Dorcas was John Toncray's son, whom he thinks was a son of Nicholas. Was Nicholas Daniel's brother? -------- James Tully (my gggrandmother Sarah Tullys father) was married to Dorcas Toncray March 20, 1818 by Stephen Bovell, minister of Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church in Abingdon, VA. Unfortunately, births were seldom recorded in those days, so there are no records to confirm that Sarah was Dorcas child, but there also are no death records to indicate that Dorcas died before Sarahs birth, so, unless I learn otherwise, Im going to assume that Dorcas Toncray was Sarah Tullys mother. Census records show five children born to the Tullys 1820-1830 in Abindon, and Sarah was born in 1835. They weren't listed in the 1840 census, and were in California by 1850. There was a James Tully listed among members of a wagon train from Michigan that departed St. Joseph MO April 24, 1849. We found records of three sisters in El Dorado Co., CA, where the Tullys settled. I can't trace her mother or father. Dorcas was the daughter of John and Mary (?) Toncray. The 1810 VA census shows they had 4 boys and 2 girls. John was probably born in New York. He was probably the son of Nicholas Toncray, who came to Virginia before the Revolution. According to Places in Time, Vol. II, by Nanci C. King, 1994, p. 9, article 12: John Toncray/Martin Hagy House Site Ÿ John Toncray lived on this lot in 1813 in a 2-story, 24 foot square log house with a log kitchen and a frame shop building. Listed as a wheelwright in 1801, Toncray had a quantity of waggon makers tools in 1828 that would indicate he probably had additional workers in his shop. Sometime after 1828 he left Abingdon for the Iowa Territory and conveyed the property to his son, Jackson Toncray, a carpenter who moved to Carter County, TN in the mid-1840s. The house was used at the time for the publishing office of the Jacksonian newspaper. Jackson Toncray sold the property in 1873 to Martin Hagy, who built a 2-story frame house. Sometime before the 1840s, John and Mary were in Lee Co., Iowa. This corresponds to the time the Tullys left Abingdon, so they might have moved with the Toncrays. Perhaps James was one of Johns workers and lost his income when John left Abingdon. ------- That's about all I know about James Tully & Dorcas Toncray. If you find any additional information, please pass it on. Thanks, Roberta

Lisa, Do believe there is a connection with our Myers. David and Catharine could have been brother and sister. This is so exciting. I have just started to research this line with not much to go on. William and David Myers are both listed in John Lindsey's estate appraisal. I shall have to give you the details. That is all I have found about David. No land records or marriages, at least in Washington Co. VA. (I do have Naomia Myers m. Woodson Woods in my Washington Marriages book). Is that your connection? Here is the Estate appaisal: This is from microfilm of Washington Co Wills that I photocopied from Knoxville TN ... The East Tennessee Historical Center, Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection. I believe this must have been Washington County VA......Washington County TN is a different place). P 107 In Compliance with an order from the County Court of Washington to us directed and being first duly sworn here proceeded to view and appraise the personal estate of John LINDSEY dec.d as directed in sd order this 10th day of December 1814. 1 sorrel mare @ $:40. 1 mattock @ 1.67= 1 ____? cow $10 //$51.67 P. 108 Amt brot over 51.67 Some self and gen(?) ware @ $3 1 bed & furniture @ $20 23 ? 1 spinning wheel @ $2 One oven and lid @ $2 4 ? 1 Note on Ezekiel RAMBO $3.50 1 Note on Philip RAHEN(?) 6.82 10.32 1 Note on William FAIRES and Andrew SMITH 14.04 1 Note on John WIDENER and John LARIMER 5.32 1 Note on John McCRACKEN and Ezekiel RAMBO 4.45 1 Note on Wm MYERS, David MYERS & Henry(?)

James KEYS John KEYS Philip RAHEN(?) At a court held for Washington County this 17th day of January 1815. This Inventory and Appraisment of the estate of John LINDSEY dec'd was returned to Court and Ordered to be recorded. J. CAMPBELL (seal) ____________________ Thats it... The Wm. and David MYERS are one of my clues to Catherine, who is probably a sister-in-law to the deceased John Lindsey above. John Lindsey was a young soldier, just married in 1813, volunteered the same month of his wedding an re-enlisted at least 3 times during the war of 1812. He died of disease in Norfolk VA, while in the service. His wife (Elizabeth Rambo), remarried in 1819 to a John Wilson in Washington co, and many are descendent from this couple. She received land grants on the service of John Lindsey. If you want to know more about your David MYERs, you could check the War of 1812 military records, he could have signed up for service in VA or TN if was in the same generation. Many did from Washington Co. VA. I will have to look up my source of 1812 records for you. I will post this to the general list. It may be of interest to someone else.
