Tolson's of The Isle of Kent
Tolson's of The Isle of KentUpdated September 5, 2000 | |
| Alexander Tolson, a gunsmith, came to Kent Island from St. Mary's in the 1650's.He and most of his descendants were planters and watermen, and some, including me, still live in the area.I am interested in sharing information about the Tolson's and other area families (we're related to nearly all of them), and about the Eastern Shore of Maryland in general.My mother came to Maryland from Oklahoma, her family, Lyons & Wages, migrating there from Kentucky by way of Arkansas.Their journey over the last 200 years or so is evidenced by the kinfolk they left scattered all along that path. I have quite a lot of information on the Tolson's and related families, which I gathered 15 years ago before my search stalled.It seems family research methods have changed dramatically since then.Hopefully, some new avenue has opened to their point of entry to this country, and across the ocean. I will be adding information to this page as I get it organized.If anyone reading this has questions or answers for me, please do not fail to contact me. | |
