We need more info to help you. What is your grandfather's complete name and birthdate? Who did he marry? What was his children's names? Where did they live? Anything you can tell us would be important to find them on the census.

Donaldson/Tomer

tomermorningstar — 2008-02-18 05:47:06Z

I am so disappointed. I thought I had found a Donaldson family that is related to my Tomer family. Now I think it is not the right connection.

I have these pictures of the Donaldsons that I want to give to the family. Only I can't find the family.

I am Margaret Tomer Rummens, daughter of Lorenzo James Tomer, Jr.
His mom was Charlotte Morningstar and she had a sister named Sarah (Sadie) who married John Donaldson.

From there that family became ... Donaldson, Downey, Rieger, Danner.

Can anyone help?

Re: Marietta J Tomer

tomermorningstar — 2008-02-18 05:22:36Z

I am one of Lorenzo James Tomer, Jr'sdaughters.

We are trying to contact the Donaldson family because we have pictures that really belong to them ... Charlotte Morningstar (Sadie's sister) must have given them to us.

Right now they are on our new web site: http://tomer.tribalpages.com

Please forward this email to anyone from that side of the family!

I have pictures of your family on my website.

I am the daughter of Lorenzo James Tomer.

I want to give you the pictures - they belong to your family now!

I got them from Granny (Charlotte Morningstar) who had a sister .... was it Sadie .... and I think you will love seeing pictures of your whole family at a young age.

Too many Christians married Maria Catherina!

Let's talk.

Elizabeth Tomer

bwhais_1 — 2007-03-22 14:25:44Z

I am seeking information regarding Elizabeth Tomer (b. abt. 1798), wife of Martin Sitgreaves. (There is a descrepancy surrounding Martin's birth--he is thought either to have been born sometime before 1800 in Easton, PA, or about 1794 in Niagara Falls, NY). According to the genealogy "Pedigree of a Nitwit," by Marguerite Sitgreaves Aimi, Elizabeth was thought to be of German descent. They had one known child, Martin Hulsizer Sitgreaves (my great-great-great-great grandfather). I have been unable to locate her grave in either of the Sitgreaves family plots at cemeteries in Easton, PA and Corning, NY. Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

Re: Webster Tomer

heroldandpinner — 2006-12-03 02:55:05Z

My name is Tim Tomer and I am just starting to scratch the surface of the Webster Tomer line. I am a decendant of Webster to Christopher to Andrew to Kenneth to Jim Tomer. From what I am gathering Christopheer moved the family from NY to Michigan and eventually Minnisota. My grandfather (Kenneth was born in Minnesota) Not to stray away from what you are asking but I am also stuck at Webster Tomer. From what I see his father was John Tomer and his mother was Martha Hand. Any information you can share about this I would be greatly appreciative.

Thank You

Webster Tomer

2006-10-30 15:28:08Z

I am looking for any information that I can get on Webster Tomer of Pultney, Steuben County, NY. He was born in 1803 and died in 1882. He came from NJ. His wiives were Adelsa Drake Smith, and Sarah Hyatt. I am related to him by his daughter Emily Tomer and was wondering if there is any one out there researching the same people. I have information of the the family from Emily to present. It looks as if he may have been a farmer, then went in the logging business or something like that. Emily died in Michigan in 1857. In one of the census he has his grandchildren living with him or staying with him I believe it was the 1860 census. Was wondering if Levi and Webster Tomer were brothers??? Any one out there willing to share information or shed some light as to Who Webster Tomer was??? Thanks for reading.

Have seen your message board posting. I've seen several pieces of information on the area you are researching. I'm away from home on a project now so I cannot review my files. Please give me a week or two and we can follow up. Thanks, Herm Tomer.

Hi Barbara. Thanks for your speedy reply. I met a few years ago with Mary Kay near Delmont, PA. Perhaps she will remember me. I'm also in the John Rhinehart Tomer line, I believe. There is one missing link that hopefully someday I will clear up. Just today I heard about a Tomer gathering this weekend in or near the North Carolina shoreline. I will try to let you know where and when. I share my time between my businesses in Pittsburgh and Charlotte. Say hello to Mary Kay for me and I hope we can talk more soon. Regards, Herman Tomer. PS my office number is 800-230-7789 if you have some time to talk.

Re: Kentucky Tomers

2005-09-03 20:34:43Z

I have an estimated birth date somewhere at my home, but I don't remember it right off. However, I do know that Sarah Jane Kellems was born in 1837. I have also seen her family's last name in records spelled as KELM. If you have any info, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Andrea Tomer

Re: Kentucky Tomers

corliss1028 — 2005-08-31 03:15:15Z

Do you have a birth date for Jack Kellems?

Re: Kentucky Tomers

ATomer — 2005-03-24 19:39:11Z

The info I have on John Tomer is that he was born in Germany, and when he came to the United States he married Sarah Jane Kellems, dau of Jack Kellems. I know no birth dates, as this came from my grandfather's info which is incomplete. Their son, George Henry Tomer, is my 2nd great-grandfather.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

Kentucky Tomers

ATomer — 2005-03-24 19:36:33Z

Re: Kentucky Tomers

2005-03-20 16:46:00Z

I have a John TOMER, born in PA, father of at least 6 children. I found my John TOMER in the 1860 Federal Census of the Dickerson Twp, Lewis County, MO, page 202, lines 12 - 18. He was born in PA, and 4 of his children were born in KY. The eldest, Margaret Anne married Joseph Marion LEWIS (Joseph was also born in PA). They lived near each other in Dickerson Twp, Lewis Co., MO in 1860.

John is a widow by this Census and has one son (age 3) and one daughter (age 1) who were born in MO. All of the other children were born in KY. Female, S.J. is 23; Female, b. KY; S.E. is 14, b.KY; Male, J. 10 years, b. KY; Male T.J. is 8, b. KY; male Geo. H. is 3, b. MO and female M.A. is 1, b. MO.

John Tomer is a listed as a Tenant, with money/property worth $250. His son-in-law Joseph Lewis, is also a tenant and has money/property worth $600.

From the Census information, this John was born about 1816 in PA - he is 44 years old.

Joseph Marion LEWIS was employed by Overland as a "mule skinner" in MO and took three trips across from MO to CA delivering cargo on land schooners wagon trains to the Northern California area. At the end of the third trip, he and his family settled in CA.

His daughter Margaret Anne TOMER LEWIS, her husband, her sister Sarah TOMER (married REED in CA) and some of Joseph LEWIS' younger siblings traveled to Marysville, CA to settle and finally settled in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara County, CA. The LEWIS' patented land in Santa Barbara Co., CA, in 1875 and in Monterey County, CA in 1893.

Margaret Anne TOMER LEWIS died in 1915 and is buried in Santa Maria, CA. She was mother to 4 sons and 2 daughters.

I would like information on the wife of John TOMER and more information on his birth and early years.

My great grandmother was Elizabeth Tomer. She was married to Isaiah Garvey. They lived in New Kensington, Pa. She died in the early 1900's. You can reach me by e-mail at craygster@hotmail.com. hope to hear from you. Eileen Matchett

Re: Info Please

2004-11-05 13:21:59Z

Hi:

Yes, I am still looking! My husband's grandfather was Clifford Tomer -- he was married to Thelma. They are from the Steuben Co. area in NY State -- specifically in Hammondsport. I am always looking for any and all information on this family! Any and all help is greatly appreciated! :-)

Re: Info Please

2004-03-25 13:22:43Z

Hi Karen:

I can't believe you found this old note! My husband's family is from Steuben County -- Hammondsport, to be exact. My Mother's family is also from there -- they found the Taylor Wine Company, Great Western, Pleasant Valley Wine Company, and then Bully Hill Winery. My husband has virtually no history on his family, so I am trying to locate what I can. As far as we know, Clifford Tomer came to Hammondsport from California, he was my husband's Grandfather. He helped my grandfather, Greyton Taylor, start the Keuka Yacht Club in the early 1900's. Before that time, we cannot seem to find anything on that branch of the family. Please feel free to email me at home at the aboce address, and maybe we can share what we have and possibly find out something new!

Thanks so much for your response!

Muriel

Re: Tomer Line

2004-01-21 00:58:16Z

Hi Karen,
Our Tomer line seems to have originated in MD (in the mid-1700's) and moved west to Pittsburgh PA (about 1805). I do not recall having come across your family names in our line. We have had other inquiries from a NY line, but they do not seem to tie in with ours. I will pass your inquiry along to other researchers in my Tomer line, and see if they have leads to any other researchers in the NY line.

I'm anxious to hear back from you, Herman ~
thanks for responding! How far back in the
Tomer line do you go? I descend from Hannah
Tomer, daughter of John Rhinehart Tomer (born
about 1760?) and his wife, Mary (Neet?) I am
getting together this next week with a cousin,
MaryKay Belford, who descends from Hannah's
older brother, Jacob ~ we are heading up to
MD for some research! Hopefully we will find
some information on John Rhinehart's father,
Ludwig! Looking forward to hearing from you
in the near future!

Bsybabu — 2002-03-02 23:19:35Z

Herman ~ I'll let MaryKay know that we were in
touch! She remembers EVERYONE!! So I am sure
she will remember meeting you too! I found
some Tomers in Guys Mills, PA as a result of the
article on a Tomer reunion that she attended
over 10 yrs ago hosted by Faye Ward. My folks
have lived in Guys Mills since 1971, and we
never knew there was a connection to the Tomer
name until about 5 years ago, and then did not
know that there were Tomers in Guys Mills until
I met MaryKay! What a small world! The NC
link will be a interesting one to follow up on!
I'll try to call if I get a chance tomorrow!
But if I don't reach you, stay in touch! This
could generate a much needed boost ~ we have
been at the proverbial brick wall too long!
Til later!

Marietta J Tomer

Bsybabu — 2002-03-02 23:19:35Z

Eileen, I do not have a Marietta J Tomer in any of my notes. However it is curious that your Tomers are in Lancaster PA. Most of mine are in MD, at first around Westminster, and then between Frederick and Hagerstown. Do you know when your Tomers were in the Lancaster area, and if that was their point of entry into the country? My Tomer connection begins with Ludwig Tomer, and his son John Rhinehart Tomer.

Marietta J Tomer

Bsybabu — 2002-03-02 23:19:35Z
