Toombs England to LaSalle County IL
I would like to hear from descendants of Richard Toombs, born about 1808 in England.He is found in 1870 and 1880 LaSalle, Ottawa, IL census living with his daughter Emma Knowles and then her name was Emma Ehly.
My g.g.grandfather was George L. Toombs born abt 1839 in England.Came to the US on the Robert Kelly (Liverpool to NY) in 1855.He enlisted in the Army in LaSalle County IL in 1862 and married Eva Belle Carmony also in Lasalle Cty IL in 1867.Then they started moving eventually to IA, MO, KS, OK, and back to KS where George died in 1914. George's death certificate states his parents as Richard Toombs and Sarah Hare.
Also in LaSalle County IL on 1870 and 1880 census are several other head of household male Toombs born in England the right age to be George's siblings.
George L.Toombs and Eva Carmony had the following children, Jabez Edward, Anna Mary, John Thomas, Alice, and Richard.
Can anyone tell me any more about Richard Toombs or the other Toombs in LaSalle County IL from about 1860 to 1900?Thanks Donna
