REUBEN TOLLE5 (George4; Roger3; Tobias2; Roger1)
Reuben Tolle, son of Susannah (?) and George Tolle Sr, was born 11 Jan 1786 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He was the bondsman on 14 Jun 1811 for the marriage of his sister Rebecca in Fauquier County.
Two Reuben Tolle's (cousins) turned up in the Lewis/Mason County area of Kentucky, and it is sometimes difficult to be sure which one is him. He may not have been there yet in 1811 when a Reuben was listed on the tax roll. It must have been about this time that he was married to a woman named Mary, but her maiden name is unknown at this time.
His name was on all of the census records of Mason County for all of the years 1820 through 1870. He was also mentioned in a Court Order book in 1820, and he was on the Bill of Sale list for the inventory of the estate of his father in 1821. He was appointed overseer of the road from Phillips Mill to Cornelius Carynell's in 1829.On 4 Apr 1857 Reuben and his brother Lewis Tolle signed as witnesses to the bounty land claim of their sister Rebecca (Tolle) Dunaway, for service of her husband in War of 1812.
Reuben Tolle died on 1 Aug 1871 in Mason County, Kentucky. He was buried in the Tolle cemetery on Route 1237 in Lewis County, Kentucky. His wife and other family members are buried there too.
In his will, he left his estate to his wife Mary and daughter Matilda. After their deaths, $100 was to go to his son Marmaduke Tolle for taking care of Mary and Matilda. The rest was to be divided equally, except that share that would go to Matthias B. was to go instead to Matthias's two children. The other 3/4 to go to Marmaduke, Mattoy and Marion. Matthias at first contested this will, but then withdrew from it.
It is not known why Reuben apparentlly disinherited this son. Reuben's probate covers many pages in the Deed and Will Books of Lewis County.
The children of Mary (?) and Reuben Tolle were:
REBECCA TOLLE5 (George4; Roger3; Tobias2; Roger1)
Rebecca Tolle, daughter of Susannah (?) and George Tolle Sr, was born about 1792 in Fauquier County, Virginia. She was married on 14 Jun 1811 in Fauquier County, Virginia to Jarvis Dunaway.
