All we have is the name of one son named Samuel, (Mr. William Honsberger informed the writer that he was under the impression that Mr. Tohmans name was Samuel and he left or disappeared about the year 1815) who was born in 1769 and was married, January 9th, 1804, to Mary Derstein, (Mrs. Elizabeth Clemmer informed me that her name was Mary Derstein) sister to Mrs. Jacob Clemens and Mrs Abraham Clemens.
