Thomas Tolman (1608-1690) of Dorchester, Massachusetts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Richard L. Tolman, Ph. D.<\/span><\/p>\n

      This work is prompted by the fact that so many histories of this man and this time period have been published that are incomplete or contain incorrect lineages with deficient or absent sources.  A published genealogy without sources moves to terminate discussion and does not allow errors or discrepancies to be identified.  My objective here is to document the truth as it may exist today and to identify that which can be disproven so as to provide a more complete and accurate descendency.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The best of the Thomas Tolman genealogies are these\u2014 (most have only a partial descendency of Thomas Tolman, b. 1608):  Black, Harrison The Ancestry of Frances Maria Goodman (1829-1912)<\/em> (hereafter Black<\/strong>)1<\/a><\/sup>Black, Harrison M.D. The Ancestry of Frances Maria Goodman (1829-1912)<\/em> (Boston, MA: Newbury Street Press, 2001), pp. 493-497. {Black<\/strong>}<\/span>, Mower, Lyman The Ancestry of Calvin Robinson Mower<\/em> (hereafter Mower<\/strong>)2<\/a><\/sup>Mower, Lyman The Ancestry of Calvin Robinson Mower (1840-1927)<\/em> (Salem, MA: Higginson, 2004), pp. 610-625. {Mower<\/strong>}<\/span>, Sumner, Edith Bartlett The Ancestry of Edward Wales Blake and Clarissa Matilda Glidden<\/em> (hereafter Sumner<\/strong>)3<\/a><\/sup>Sumner, Edith Bartlett Ancestry of Edward Wales Blake and Clarissa Matilda Glidden with Ninety Allied Families<\/em> (Los Angeles, CA: E.

     Some of the difficulties which have allowed errors to be published came from the fact that Thomas Tolman was presumed to have emigrated from England on the \u2018Mary and John\u2019 in 1630,7<\/a><\/sup>Spear, Burton W. Search for the Passengers of the Mary and John 1630<\/em>, vol. 9, Terry thru Wolcott (Toledo, OH: Burton Spear, 1987), pp. 25-334.<\/span> but his name is not found on any extant passenger list.  The Dorchester colonists in the Massachusetts Bay Colony signed a covenant at their church, the First Church of Dorchester in 1635.  Thomas Tolman signed the covenant too (he signed it \u2018Thomas Touleman\u2019, giving rise to one of the alternate spellings common in early records).  However, he signed it in the addendum in 1636,8<\/a><\/sup>First Church (Dorchester, Mass.) \u2018Records of the First Church of Dorchester, 1636-1734\u2019 (Boston: G. H. Ellis, 1891), p 4.<\/span> which probably means he wasn\u2019t there to sign it in 1635.  Hence, Robert Charles Anderson9<\/a><\/sup>Anderson, Robert Charles \u2018The Mary and John: Developing Objective Criteria for a Synthetic Passenger List\u2019 The Register<\/em>, vol. 137 (1993), pp. 148-161 and \u2018The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633\u2019 (Boston: NEHGS, 1995-).<\/span> and his coauthors correctly do not include Thomas Tolman in The Great Migration, 1620-1633<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

     Salcombe Regis in Devonshire is often published as Thomas Tolman\u2019s birthplace as many of the \u2018Mary and John\u2019 emigrants came from southern England.  Most notably, Captain Roger Clap, a \u2018Mary and John\u2019 emigrant, and an acquaintance of Thomas Tolman who was born in Salcombe Regis {his gdau Experience Clap married Thomas Tolman\u2019s gson Samuel Tolman in 1704 and his ggniece Hannah Clap married Thomas Tolman\u2019s ggson John Tolman in 1734}.  There is a much cited report by Anna Maria (Tolman) Pickford10<\/a><\/sup>Pickford, Ann Maria (Tolman) \u2018Needham Branch of the Tolman Family\u2019 in Dedham Historical Register, vol. V, pp. 42-44 (1894); there are a number of following articles in vol. V and VI which delineate the descendants of Thomas Tolman\u2019s gson Thomas (md. Experience Clap). She introduces the patriarch Thomas Tolman, but does not describe descendants from generation 2 or 3.<\/span> that the Salcombe Regis parish registers have a Thomas Tolman b. 1608 and that there is an actual record of his immigration on the Mary and John in 1635, but none of these claims have been able to be verified despite many exhaustive searches by several different researchers and this has now been verified to be false by at<\/b>-DNA evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

     Ebenezer Clap\u2019s History of the Town of Dorchester<\/em>  places Thomas Tolman as one of the \u2018second group of emigrants\u2019 in 1635.11<\/a><\/sup>Clap, Ebenezer History of the Town of Dorchester<\/em> (Boston, MA: Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, 1859), pp. 100-103; and online at Ancestry.com.<\/span>  The First Church of Dorchester was able to convince a prominent puritan minister at Toxteth Park, Liverpool, Richard Mather,12<\/a><\/sup>Ibid, <\/em>p.128; Mather began teaching  at Toxteth at age 15, attended Oxford, was ordained by the Bishop of Chester and was suspended for non-conformity in 1633.<\/span> to emigrate and become their new congregational leader.  He arrived on the James<\/em> from Bristol on 13 Aug 1635 and with him came many of his Lancashire congregation (100 passengers)13<\/a><\/sup>Blake, James Annals of the Town of Dorchester, Number Two – 1750<\/em> (Boston: David Clap, Jr., 1846), p. 13; there came with Richard Mather \u2018a Great Number of Godly people\u2019 (100 passengers).<\/span> which may have included Thomas Tolman and his wife Sarah.  Thomas Tolman probably emigrated to Dorchester 1635-1636; there is no proof that he actually came with Richard Mather on the James<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

     Examination of the Lancaster parish registers (Toxteth Park is in the Lancaster parish) revealed a son Thomas,14<\/a><\/sup>Parish Registers for St. Mary\u2019s Church, Lancaster, Baptisms 1599-1837; FHL British Film 1526146, item 9.<\/span> born to Issabel Towlming and Roger Parkenson in Lancaster, Lancashire on the 9th<\/sup> day of the twelfth month of 160815<\/a><\/sup>This is bizarrely in agreement with the baptism date published in Pickford, Ann Maria (Tolman) \u2018Needham Branch of the Tolman Family\u2019 in Dedham Historical Register, vol. V, pp. 109-111 (1894); claims Salcombe Regis Parish Register as source, but this is specious. Perhaps Pickford got the date from the family or family records? Baptism date is also mentioned in Ackerman<\/b>, p. 1 (no source, probably got it from Pickford).<\/span> (Lancaster is 40 miles north of Liverpool in Lancashire).  Issabel was born in 1588 in Lancaster to William and Elizabeth Towlminge (Toulmin).16<\/a><\/sup>The Lancashire line was first discovered and published by genealogist Loa Don Glade in the \u2018Thomas Tolman Family Newsletter\u2019 September 1992, pp. 5-9. See also Glade, Loa Don Hofhine Thomas Touleman (1608): Progenitor of the Tolman family in America, came in 1635, and direct-line descendants<\/em> (Murray, Utah: Family Heritage Publishers, 2005); online at FamilySearch. She claims the baptismal day of \u20189th day of the 12th month 1608\u2019 comes from the reconstructed records of Dorchester. This author has not been able to confirm this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                                <\/a><\/span>{No other baptism records were found for any permutations of the Tolman surname in the date range 1600-1635}.<\/span><\/p>\n

     All this makes a fairly clear story that is consistent with the known references of the period.  TTFGC <\/strong>prefers another set of Somerset parents for Thomas, but if you can go along with Ebenezer Clap that Thomas Tolman was part of the second wave of emigrants, then it becomes an unnecessary reach to say he comes from Somerset\u2014and a Lancashire origin is much more likely.  Many of the second wave who came with Mr. Mather and who married Tolmans were also from Lancashire\u2014notably the Brecks.<\/span><\/p>\n

     But recently discovered autosomal DNA data makes all this conjecture unnecessary.  The author (a 7th<\/sup> great-grandson of Thomas Tolman b. 1633) has three autosomal DNA matches (at-DNA<\/strong>) with individuals with English Toulmin ancestors\u2014all are between 5-10 cM on a single segment) on Ancestry.com.  The common ancestor for most of the matches is likely William Toulmin, father of Issabel Toulmin (b. 1588).  For more detail see the accompanying essay \u2018The Toulmin Family of Lancashire, England.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

     Most of the difficulty with this time period comes from the fact that there are few reliable records.  The early records were largely destroyed when the Thomas Millet house burned in 1657.  The City of Boston records are only a transcript and have been largely reconstructed, hence there are many omissions and many errors.  For example, there are 3 birth dates for Hannah Tolman, daughter of Thomas, in 1638, 1640 and 1642.  One is inclined to believe the 1638 birth since her death record in 1729 indicates she was 91 yrs.  Black<\/strong> presents a good argument that the 1642 birth record is actually the birth record of her brother John (christened 2 mos. later).  Maybe there was another Hannah born in 1640, but why would the parents name another child Hannah if the 1638 Hannah was still alive?  So I think we have to conclude the 1640 date is spurious.<\/span><\/p>\n

GENEALOGICAL SUMMARY<\/span><\/p>\n

Generation One<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

     1. Thomas Towmng\/Touleman\/Toulmin\/Tolman<\/a><\/b> (phonetically equivalent surnames) was probably born 6 Dec 1608 at Lancaster, Lancashire, England.17<\/a><\/sup>Parish Registers for St. Mary\u2019s Church, Lancaster, Baptisms 1599-1837; FHL British Film 1526146, item 9.<\/span> He was christened 9 Dec the same year and died 18 Jun 1690 at Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts, buried18<\/a><\/sup>Burial at Canton Corner Cemetery; online at Findagrave.com, #136388140, birth and death years (accessed 1 Nov 2014).<\/span> at Canton Corner Cemetery, Canton, Suffolk (now Norfolk), Massachusetts. He became a member of the Church in 1638 and was made freeman in 1640; he first settled on Pine Neck (Dorchester)19<\/a><\/sup>The original Tolman property is today part of Garvey Park in Dorchester, South Boston–south of Tolman Street, off Neponset Avenue and just west of Rt. 93 (Southeast Expy); John Tolman (b. 1642) and his heirs lived here for more than 200 years.<\/span> and later moved to \u2018the Great Lots\u2019 (today Canton).  Thomas married (1) Sarah____ <\/a><\/b>abt 1631 in England; she died20<\/a><\/sup>\u2018Katherine\u2019 Tolman death, 1677: –probably an error, should be \u2018Sarah\u2019.  There is no mention of a Katherine<\/em> Tolman, wife of Thomas in the record except in Torrey, Clarence A. New England Marriages Prior to 1700<\/em> (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2004); there is no marriage record or any other record for a Katherine (Torrey only mentions the 1677 death date) and there is no other death date for Sarah.<\/span> 7 Nov 1677 in Dorchester.<\/span><\/p>\n

     Thomas and Sarah Tolman had seven children.21<\/a><\/sup>Clap, Ebenezer History of the Town of Dorchester<\/i> (Boston, MA: Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, 1859), p. 138; the children of Thomas and Sarah are listed with the names of their spouses. He was paid a \u00a31 bounty for killing a wolf in 1654 (p. 183).  Some say (see Findagrave #34315842) there was another older dau Ann Tolman who is posited to be the wife of Peter Lyon\u2014there is no source or other support for this proposal. Peter married Ann ____ (see Lyons<\/b>, p. 320-1, ref 85), but likely not a Tolman; this Ann Lyon died 26 Nov 1689 (age 47), therefore born 1642. This does not fit into the Tolman genealogy and most genealogists acknowledge this (see Martino\/Lindberg<\/b>). The hypothetical Ann Tolman is often confused with her sister Hannah\/Ann (5), whose vitae are solidly established. There is no dau Ann acknowledged in Thomas Touleman\u2019s 1639 will.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Generation Two<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

     2. Mary Tolman<\/a><\/b>, born22<\/a><\/sup>Black <\/strong>and Sumner<\/strong> have Mary as the youngest child of Thomas and Sarah\/\u2019Katherine\u2019, christened 20 May 1651–for this they cite the Winifred Lovering Holman papers at NEHGS, Mss.AH.63 (20 pages), which were unfindable, called \u2018lost\u2019, by librarians at the New England Historical and Genealogical Society library in 2014.  A birth for Mary close to her mythical christening is incompatible with the data.   Her son Henry tertius<\/em> Collens was born in 1651 and her husband Henry secundus<\/em> Collins was born in 1629; this date is supported by his death date at 1722 (age 92), and all of which also argues for an earlier-than-1635 birthdate for Mary.  Mower<\/strong> has her born \u2018abt 1642\u2019 (no ref), but married to the wrong Collins.

V, pp. 109-111 (1894); claims Salcombe Regis Parish Register as source, but this is specious. Perhaps Pickford got the date from the family or family records?

19. The original Tolman property is today part of Garvey Park in Dorchester, South Boston [south of Tolman Street, off Neponset Avenue and just west of Rt. 93 (Southeast Expy)]; John Tolman (b. 1642) and his heirs lived here for more than 200 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

20. \u2018Katherine\u2019 Tolman death, 1677: –probably an error, should be \u2018Sarah\u2019.  There is no mention of a Katherine<\/em> Tolman, wife of Thomas in the record except in Torrey, Clarence A. New England Marriages Prior to 1700<\/em> (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2004); there is no marriage record or any other record for a Katherine (Torrey only mentions the 1677 death date) and there is no other death date for Sarah.<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Clap, Ebenezer History of the Town of Dorchester<\/em> (Boston, MA: Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, 1859), p. 138; the children of Thomas and Sarah are listed with the names of their spouses.  He was paid a \u00a31 bounty for killing a wolf in 1654 (p. 183).
\nSome say (see Findagrave #34315842) there was another older dau Ann Tolman who is posited to be the wife of Peter Lyon\u2014there is no source or other support for this proposal.  Peter married Ann ____ (see Lyons<\/strong>, p. 320-1, ref 85), but likely not a Tolman; this Ann Lyon died 26 Nov 1689 (age 47), therefore born 1642.  This does not fit into the Tolman genealogy and most genealogists acknowledge this (see Martino\/Lindberg<\/strong>).  The hypothetical Ann Tolman is often confused with her sister Hannah\/Ann (5)<\/strong>, whose vitae are solidly established.  There is no dau Ann acknowledged in Thomas Touleman\u2019s 1639 will.<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Black <\/strong>and Sumner<\/strong> have Mary as the youngest child of Thomas and Sarah\/\u2019Katherine\u2019, christened 20 May 1651 [for this they cite the Winifred Lovering Holman papers at NEHGS, Mss.AH.63 (20 pages), which were unfindable, called \u2018lost\u2019, by librarians at the New England Historical and Genealogical Society library in 2014].  A birth for Mary close to her mythical christening is incompatible with the data.   Her son Henry tertius<\/em> Collens was born in 1651 and her husband Henry secundus<\/em> Collins was born in 1629; this date is supported by his death date at 1722 (age 92), and all of which also argues for an earlier-than-1635 birthdate for Mary.  Mower<\/strong> has her born \u2018abt 1642\u2019 (no ref), but married to the wrong Collins. TTFGC<\/strong> has her born \u2018abt 1640\u2019, no source (probably calculated from the birth of the first child which they have as 166<\/em>1, an error vide infra<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n
