I have my tree online. Search for Owen or Griffin Toombs and Berry Branches 2012 should be listed. You can click on that and see what I have so far. I was stuck for twenty years looking for their parents until a fellow researcher from Carroll Co. provided the proof after visiting the Halifax Co. court house.

Griffin Toombs was the brother to my ggggrandfather Owen Toombs, who resided in Gibson Co. TN and later Clay Co. Ar. This info was given to me from a direct descendant of Griffin who lives in Carroll Co. They were sons of William Toombs and Sarah of Halifax Co. I have Griffin's birth date at 10 june 1813. Hope this helps.

Griffin/Griffen Tombs/Toombs, Halifax Co Va > Carroll Co, TN

dawnmist723 — 2012-03-04 12:23:30Z

I am looking for additional information on Griffin/Griffen Tombs/Toombs, born circa 1812 in Virginia. He was married in Halifax Co, VA on 4 Jan 1834 to Ann Jeanette Moore; by 1840 they were in Carroll Co, TN (per the census records). Their children were William, Mary, James T, John H., and Albert G. I am looking for information on Griffen's parents, Jeanette's parents, and Griffen's and Jeanette's death dates in Carroll Co. They appeared in the 1880 census, but do not appear to have answered the 1900 census, so I believe that they both died before 1900. Any help or information about this family that is not in the censuses would be greatly appreciated.

Edmund Toombs, 1818? - bef1870

annecollins196 — 2012-02-23 19:33:04Z

My husband is descended from Edmund Toombs, 1818? - bef 1870. I believe he was born in Tennessee, lived in Arkansas, and died in Texas. I am looking for his parents.

I believe Edmund is descended from Edmund Toombs and Sabrania Orsaberry, as he named one of his daughters Sabra. However, because of their ages, and his, I do not believe they are his parents, more likely grandparents.

If anyone has information, I would be grateful for it.

Thank you,
Anne Collins

Owen Toombs of Clay County AR

cberry53 — 2011-09-26 17:21:51Z

Thanks to the efforts of another Toombs researcher I have finally learned of his parents. He was born in Halifax County, VA in 1811, the son of William Toombs and Sarah. He had six siblings some of who remained in Halifax Co. and others who moved into western TN and in Owen's case Clay Co., AR. William Toombs was the son of Gabriel Toombs and Frances. All this is documented by land transactions and wills in Halifax Co. Finally a brick wall knocked down.

I now live in North Carolina but my mother's maiden name was Toombs. She still lives in England as does her brother, Richard Toombs. I am sure you are aware that it possibly has French origins. Other than that I know little else.

Hello,
I found an Ethel Toombs who married an F.A. Simpson 4-15-1912 in Harper County KS. I believe Ethel is linked to my Toombs family. My g.g.grandfather was George L. Toombs who married Eva Carmony in IL. They left IL and went to IA, MO, KS, and eventually to OK. George had several brothers I know of, some of whom did leave IL too. Please email me for more info.

Hi Mr. Clarke, I found your post asking for help with George Toombs and Bessie Garrett Toombs. George and Bessie were my great grandparents. I spent my life growing up with my Grandma until she passed away in 2003.
Your original post was made to the name Sharon Stanley McBride, and I am sad to say Sharon has passed away. She was my cousin.
If you have any Toombs information you would like to share or I could help out, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Robert Toombs

Do you know the ancestry of Robert Toombs? Where did his ancestors come from in England? Ours came from Potterspury in Northampton. I have a lot of the genealogy from there and wanted to see if there is any relation between Robert and my gggrandfather James Toombs. If you have any it would be much appreciated to see where their thread came from.

Robert A. Toombs, the Senator and General also had a half-brother, Lawrence Catlett Toombs. He died in 1829, leaving a son (Robert Ezekiel Toombs) and a daughter. Sen. & Genl. took this boy on as his own and educated him to be a doctor. He later moved to Cuthbert, Randolph Co., Ga. and had sons of his own. His son, Lawrence Catlett Toombs, Sr. had a son, Lawrence Catlett, Jr., which was my Great-Grandfather.

I don't know if any of this info will help,i noticed you spelt this Tooms on another post and Toombs here.
A Florence Tooms born St Olave London 1922 father Sidney joseph Tooms mother Jane E nee Revell married 1921 St Olave
Florence Tooms married Arthur J Perkins December Quarter 1944 St Olave reference 1d 1466
children Jean M Perkins 1946,John M Perkins 1948

Florence TOMBS married James W J Crowder DEcember quarter 1955 Surrey reference 5g 639

Florence H Crowder died 1968 Surrey.

To ascertain whether the 2 brides were the same Florence you could obtain the marriage certificates.
In each case the father should be Sidney Joseph Tooms/Tombs

Dear R.W.,
I am your second cousin on your Grandfather Robert Toombs side. Your Mother died a few weeks after my Grandmother, Dorothy, your Grandfather Robert's sister. I met your Mother at my Grandmother's funeral. My Mom knows someone here who maybe can give you the answers you are lookin for. You can contact me directly at kachinagl@aol.com when you write plese put your mothers name in the subject line and I will know it is you. Your Great Grandmother Mary toombs lived to be 107 years old if she had lived one more day she would have been 108 she had amazing stories to tell and we have a few articles about her, she outlived all of her children and when robert your grandfather died she lost her will to live.

He lived in a house about 100 yards from the top end gate of the school, near the path that leead to The Rec.. Is this the same Stan?If he is still around, he would be 74 as am I, I would love to know what happened to him.

hi Janice

I have been researching Toms/Tomes/Tombs/Toombs in the Northants area for about 10 years. I was aware of the Pottersbury Toombs tree but never really got round to researching it. Would you be interested in sharing information? I have pedigrees in the area going back to the late 1500's and feel it is possible that they have a common root although probably before records start.

Dear Amy,
I am sorry but we are not from the southern Toombs branch. My gggrandfather came to Utah in 1867 and that is where most of the relatives live. I would certainly like to find out how the Southern branch is related. James Toombs' parents were James and Ann Stanbra Toombs and lived in Potterspury, Northamptonshire, England. How far have you gotten with your research.
Thanks, Janice

Re: Robert Toombs

wwalker48 — 2009-07-16 15:02:47Z

Hi, here is aome information from two different ancestry.com sources that could help in your search:

===============================
No, I have not heard those names before, but ask them if they have any relatives from the town of Washington, GA because that is where Confederate General Robert Toombs is from. He was a slave owner who was a Georgia Statesman (elected official) then Secretary of State, and later was appointed a Confederate General when the Civil War moved up to the more northern areas. When the capitol of the Confederacy was relocated from Montgomery to Richmond, VA, General Toombs moved there from Washington, GA.. His family joined him later.

This is why I was interested in his life, because of the possible connection to our maternal great, grandmother, Lizzie Toombs, who as a slave girl took care of children in Richmond by the name of Toombs. Could this possibly have been General Toombs family? I have questions, but no concrete answers.

This is why I want to go back to the courthouse in Washington, GA to see if I can dig up any useful information.

===============================

The answer to your question is yes......RA Toombs, Jr is the one who was a Senator from GA, helped write the Articles of Secession, was briefly Secretary of State, CSA, and then Brig. General under Lee in the Army of Northern VA. His only son, Lawrence Catlett Toombs died in 1832 at only 1 year old, his oldest daughter, Mary Louise died in 1855, his younger daughter, Sallie, was born is 1835 and married Dudley McIver Dubose so it is unlikely that your grandmother was caring for his children. He did have a brother, Augustus Gabriel Toombs who had children, but I have not gotten that far yet. It may be possible that he had heirs carrying the name Toombs during that time. The above info I found in the Ancestry World Tree Project; Tim Conner's Database and Nichols. Hope this helps.

I am attempting to trace my husband's grandmother who was born Lenora Beatrix Toombs in VA. She married William Dawson Hendrickson whose family was from New Jersey I understand.

================================

Hope that two sections of info help?

Winston
