Ron,
Thanks for the follow-up on my initial post.This group of men (George, John, Abraham, Jacob, and Samuel Tobias) are a bit challenging!
If, in fact, George is a brother to the other four, then their parents would likely be Peter and Barbara Tobias, as noted in The History of Greene County.However, I haven't been very successful in finding an online reference to this group.I did find a Christian Tobias (b. 5 Mar 1775 PAd. Apr 1815 or 1816 PA) married to a Barbara.Interestingly, Christian was noted as a "weaver", and my relative, John Tobias, is also noted as a "weaver" in census records.However, this could just be coincidence as this wasn't an uncommon profession.However, the Greene County History notes that George's mother moved to Greene County after her husband died.Since Christian died in 1815 or 1816, this could be the right couple.However, it doesn't definitively put all these people together.
I've also seen references to John Tobias (b. 9 May 1796 PAd. 23 Aug 1847 Pickaway, OH) and Mary Elizabeth Kline (b. abt 1770 Bern Twp, PA) as being parents of a John Tobias (b. 1792).My John was born in 1792, but I'm not convinced this is the right couple either, since the younger John is noted as marrying Sarah Van Housen in 1834, and my John was a likely a widower when he moved to Ohio.
Have you had a chance to look into the History of Berks Co., by J. H. Beers, 1909?Otherwise, have you looked for church records from PA during the late 1790s?These may be possible leads that I'll look into next, but if you've already checked, I'll focus my time on other areas.
Many thanks,
Luke
