My Grandfather now deceased knewsome of the family history and told my mother that he was told that ElizaToland’s fathers name was Isaac Toland and that she had a brother namedWill. I looked in Schuyler County 1860 census and found an Isaac Tolandwho had a daughter named Eliza and a son named William the only thing thatdoesn’t fit is Eliza Toland’s age. She was listed on her marriage certificateas being 23 years old in 1877 when she was married, the census has ElizaToland as 13 years old in 1860. If anyone is researching the Tolands orPearsons maybe they can help me figure this out. Thanks for any help.
