TOBIN, Isaac ^{3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11}

  General Notes:

Isaac is probably Wesley's father, but this is not certain. In various census records that Wesley is in, his parent's place of birth is listed differently in many. In 1860, his parents are listed as from Wales. In the 1880 census, whomever gave the info to the census taker said his parents were born in Ohio and his mother's father in Pennsylvania and her mother in Virginia. In Wesley's brother, John W. Tobin's 1900 census, it says that his father was born in Virginia and his mother in Maryland. This matches Isaac's info. This Issac was born in Virginia, but is listed as Wesley's father in my Uncle Talmadge's family tree obtained by interviewing family members in the first half of the 20th century. Another of Wesley's brothers, Edward Willett, in the 1900 census, has his father's birthplace listed as Ohio and his mother's as Virginia. Obviously, this family didn't talk much with their spouses about their parents. Wesley was a name carried down a lot, though the Isaac wasn't.

Isaac and Matilda's first home after their marriage was in St. Clair Co., Ohio. By 1829, they moved to Guernsey Co., Ohio. (CL-327)

Isaac purchased land from Andrew and Mary Noble in Guernsey Co. Ohio for $250.00 on 2 July 1842. It was located on the southeast quarter of Section 4?, Township N 4 of Range No. 2 containing 40 acres. (CL-288)

Isaac Tobin owned 1200 acres of land in Guernsey Co., OH, sections 13 & 14, Monroe Twp. according to the 1840 tax lists. In "Stories of Guernsey Co., Ohio it lists it as 120 acres in 13 & 14 in 1840. One of these figures is probably in error. He was also listed in the 1840 Federal Census Records in Guernsey Co., OH, pg. 382, Monroe or Washington Twp. as Isaac Tobing: Males/1 under 5/ 2 age 5-10/ 1 age 10-15/ 1 age 15-20/ 1 age 30-40, Females/ 1 age 10-15/ 1 age 30-40, 3 persons employed in agriculture. (CL-117) It is not known where he resided after 1840.

They again moved in 1854 to Horse Creek, Cotton Hill Twp., Section 23, Sangamon, IL. (now Woodside Twp.)

Birth and death information on Samuel and John Tobin come from 1900 Ohio Census Records and Ohio Grave Registration cards. In both cases, their parents were not listed, so the data is only tentatively correct based on date and birth place. If John Tobin's dates turn out to be correct, he was also in the civil war, enlisting Sept. 3 1864 as an army private, Co. E, 176 Reg. C.V.I. (CL-137) U.S. Federal Census Records Checked 1820: Culpepper Co., VA p. 98a 1830: (Isaac Toben) Frederick Co., VA, p.134 1840: Guernsey Co., OH pg. 382, Washington Twp. Isaac Tobing: Males/ 1 under 5/ 2 age 5-10/ 1 age 10-15/ 1 age 15-20/ 1 age; 30-40 Females/ 1 age 10-15/ 1 age 30-40; 3 persons employed in agriculture (CL-38, 58, 117b)
