If you're still looking for info re: Harvey Hoff, here are some details I came across while helping my half brother, George Myron Topliff III (He's never used the numerals) with his genealogy. According to the federal census of 1850, Harvey Topliff was living in Springfield, Otsego, NY with his wife Isabel, 51, and children, Clark,20, MaryAnn,18, George Myron,17, Louisa,9, Juliet,8, Rosella,5, and Joseph,2. Hope that helps. My e-mail address is bob@rwhoff.com

Re: Topliff of Argyle NY

ebharlowe — 2009-05-18 03:39:40Z

THis is an old thread but I'll add some thoughts. I am working on a theory that the Luther who was in Argyle in 1790 was the Luther b. 1737 to Samuel(3) and Hannah Trescott. His wife was Elizabeth. He seems to also be the Luther in German Flats in 1800 and eventually settling in Onondaga county.

I think Mike Topliff has conflated some of the descendants of Calvin/Jerusha Bicknell and Luther b. 1737/Elizabeth. I haven't seen the evidence that Luther b. ca 1816 is the son of Luther b. 1798. Mike also has Morris Topliff b. ca. 1803 as a son of Luther b. 1798! Mike has consistently refused to provide any real references for this assertion, which I do not understand considering how helpful he has been to others.

It seems clear that Morris b. ca. 1803, Luther b. 1816, and a Benjamin F. Topliff b. ca. 1808 were closely related, if not brothers. They appear in Rochester together in the 1820s and also have connections to Syracuse. Thus, I believe that they are from the Luther b. 1737 line, rather than the Luther/Charlotte Eaton line.

One possibility that I am working on is that Luther b. 1737 had an unrecorded son. His children were recorded in Willington, CT., but he seems to have left town and may be the Luther Topliff who enlisted in the Rev. Army from Gageborough (Windsor) MA. His son, Timothy was in the same unit. Luther b. 1737 had a son, Luther, who only survived a short time in 1755-1756. I'm not willing to rule out the possibility that he had another son later whom he also named Luther.

There are two interesting deeds recorded in Onondaga county that may help provide a clue. On 22 April, 1809, J Manley sells a lot to in Marcellus NY to Luther Topliff. On 18 March 1813, Luther Topliff and Elizabeth his wife sell that same lot to Luther Topliff, Jr. Futher, on 13 May 1815, Luther Topliff sells a piece of land with wife, Sally, acknowledging the deed.

I am of the mind that it was this Luther Topliff, Jr. who married Sarah Larned, not the Luther Topliff b. 1798. If born in 1798, Luther "Jr" would have been about 15 when his father sold him land. Possible but not probable. Moreover, Sarah (Larned) Topliff was b. 24 May 1781 (based on her gravestone), which would have made her considerably older than her husband if her were born in 1798. Again, possible but not probable. However, Luther b. 1737 and his wife, Elizabeth, had a second son named Luther, he would likely have been born between 1767 (last recorded child) and about 1775 (Elizabeth gave birth to her first child in 1755).

I have a road trip planned to check out some further records in Windsor, Argyle, German Flats, and Syracuse. I'd appeciate any comments, suggestions, or corrections you might have.

Best,
Brooke

Alfred Topliff, 1799-1879, son of John & Suanna (Jacobs) Topliff, MA>WI

MayorJoe — 2008-07-06 20:35:18Z

From the “History of Columbia County, Wisconsin – 1880”, there is a biographical sketch under the ‘Town of Columbus’ for Alfred Topliff (deceased); was born in Westfield, Mass, Nov 11, 1799; he was the youngest of a family of eight children, whose parents were John and Susanna (Jacobs) Topliff. Mr Topliff devoted much of his earlier life to teaching in his native State, and, in the spring of 1844, he came to Columbus, Wis., but soon after located in the town of Hampden, and there went to work making improvements, and preparing a home for his family, who were then East; in 1846, he went back for his family, consisting of a wife and three daughters, and when he returned with them he found that he had been elected County Supervisor, an office which he held till the year 1870, when he resigned, but the instruments which he loved so well were not allowed to become rusty for want of use; many were the lines run and road laid out by him. Scarcely a year before his death, did he give up the profession that he had followed so long and faithfully; in 1851, he was elected a member of the Wisconsin Legislature and re-elected in 1852, proving himself to be an active, intelligent and honest member of that body; in 1855, he removed to the City of Columbus (then village) and resided here till his death, which occurred Nov 3, 1879; his wife having died eleven years before him; he left a family of three daughters --- Mrs Chadbourn, Mrs Waterhouse and an unmarried daughter.

Re: Topliff in Jewell Co., KS

amytopliff — 2008-07-01 19:53:21Z

I may be able to fill in the gaps a little about one of Elias' children. Newton Reed (I believe the oldest son) is my great-great-grandfather. I don't recall the name/DOB of his wife, but he had a son named Ezra Newton (1880s?). Ezra married woman named Emmaline (that might not be spelled correctly). They had one son in 1915 - John Elwyn Topliff. John (everybody called him by his middle name though) married Ruby Haggart in 1943? and they had one son in 1945 - Harold James Topliff. Harold married Marilyn Ross in 1968 and they had four children - Angela, Aaron, Adam, and Amy (myself.) There are only a few of us left in Jewell Co, but my oldest brother, Aaron, still farms the land in SW Jewell Co. that was handed down by Ezra.

I hope this helps some and if you have any questions, please let me know. My email is amy_topliff@yahoo.com. My dad has an old geneology that might help too. Thanks!

Just came into some info that has thrown me. Looking for a Mary Toplif(t) Wheeler who was married to a Lysander Darling? She may be buried in Allamakee County, IA. there isa Toplift family I have found on the 1850 Ceneus for Allamakee that shows a Mary age 16. This means she was born around 1834 and if my info is correct, in Rhode Island. I need to confirm or dismiss relationship to Lysander Darling. A Wheeler name is also connected in here; she may have been a married to a Wheeler first. Thanks, Judy
