• Notes

  Tohman, "The Tohmans were among the early settlers of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and according to tradition were natives of Saxony, Germany, from which place the old progenitor came about the year 1770. It is not known to whom he was married, neither what family he had. 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. She was born October 9th, 1771. After being married about ten years he disappeared. (After the family had moved to Canada he returned to Montgomery County where he was again married) In 1825 the wife and children moved to Canada with her sisters and settled in Waterloo County where she died many years ago." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _____________________________ It is reported that Samuel's name was Valentine according to the book "Our Father's Lamp and Mother's Light. compiled by Joy (Dirstine) Harris 1981. pg 44 _________________ There is a problems with the children of Valentine Tohman and Sarah Derstein. Some have the children listed with Samuel Tohman and Mary Derstein. Samuel supposedly abandoned his family and it is possible that Valentine became a foster parent. More research is needed.
