Posted 13 Mar 2009 by riverbird36 Mark Tollett was killed by Indians at Jackson River in 1760, the year that he was guarding against Indians who were killing people wildly in the area.
According to his inventory, Mark Tollett was well off for a frontiersman. Noted among the effects in his inventory were five books and a Bible, showing he was literate and a Christian,2 spinning wheels, pewter, spoons, table and bed linens, items of a young married man with children, as well as farm animals and farm instruments and two rifles, placing him as a farmer, hunter and a protective father. Mark Tollett's bond of administration on August 20, 1760 and inventory on November 18, 1760 are found in Augusta County, Virginia records. Christopher Vineyard had married the widow Elizabeth Tollett. He was the administrator of Mark Tollett's estate. There is no will for Mark Tollett, nor any accounting as to his heirs. The record states: Christopher Vineyard to adm. estate of Mark Tallett (Tollett) deceased August 20,1760 and to exhibit an inventory of goods chattels and credits of the said deceased which have or shall come to the hands---possession or knowledge of him the said Christopher Vineyard. In Augusta County, Virginia on November 18,1760 this inventory or appraisement of the estate of Mark Tollett deceased was returned to the court and ordered to be recorded.
Elizabeth was not a PRESTON from New Jersey, she was probably born in Maryland and died in Virginia where she lived when her husband died, and she then remarried.
