Notes from Reference Book of Wyoming County History by Mary Keller Bowman, page 388:

"TOLER: Data on our three pioneers named Toler (see Robert Toler note below), is far from complete.

They are supposed to have been three brothers, or closely related. They came from Levisa Fork,

Kentucky, between 1808-1812." "Historian Goode notes are supplemented with dates from the 1850

Census."

The 1820 Virginia, Giles County, Census, page 122, lists six Tolers:

David Toler

Elisha Toler

James Toler

Richard Toler

William Toler

Zachariah Toler

Robert Toler note: The three brothers referred to above are listed with their families at the same location in the subject

book as follows:

Zachariah Toler, b. Abt. 1785

Richard Toler, b. Abt. 1790

Elisha Toler, b. Abt. 1783

Current maps (05/30/2000) locates Levisa Fork as a stream in extreme eastern Kentucky flowing from the Dewey Lake

Res., north along the C & O Railway. Levisa Fork flows into the Tug Rive at Louisa, Kentucky just across the River from

Fort Gay, West Virginia. During the time between 1808-1812 this area of Kentucky and West Virginia was a part of Virginia.

All of the above entries were indicated to have been born in the U.S. This does not agree with other information

I have seen for David Toler who was said to have been born in England before 1765.

The following is a petition by a group of residents of Logan County, Virginia. The petition relates to the proposed location

of the County Court House for the new county, which was organized from a part of Giles County, Va. This group of

residents wanted the Court House location to be near the home of and on property to be donated by John Cooke. The

petition was to the Virginia State Senate & House of Representatives in Richmond. The signers ( many of whom were

Cooks and Tolers all ancestors of many of the individuals in this genealogy. The petitioners were having a dispute with

other residents of the county who were doing all in their power to influence the decision to build the Court House at the

"Islands", a reference to an area of the new county that we know today to be town of Logan, West Virginia. The term

"Islands" was used in early days to describe a location on the Guyandotte River where present day Island Creek flows

into the Guyandotte River at present day Logan. There is a natural island formation at this location where Princess

Aracoma was mortally wounded in the battle for the island.

LOGAN COUNTY PETITION, DECEMBER 9TH, 1824

(The signers of the petition are shown at the end)

The memorial of part of the inhabitants of Logan County to the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the

State of Virginia respectfully showeth; That your honorable bodies at their last session, after forming the said county of

Logan, appointed certain Commissioners to locate the site for the Public Buildings of said new County. Four of whom

met at the house of William Hinchman in the month of March but could not agree in opinion as to the most eligeable

situation for said purpose. The Commissioners again met, five of them, in June and again separated without being able

to come to any conclusion; two of them being for the Islands of Guyandotte only 26 mles from the western boundary of

the county and two of them were in favor of John Cook's place, situated about 49 miles from the western and 54 miles

from the eastern line of the county.(1) The other Commissioner expressed himself in favor of the mouth of Huffs Creek;

which is situated, nearly halfway between the above mentioned places. The Commissioners again, met, in August, after

being duely notified as the affadavits o----d will show; and unanimously (a majority that attended,) or the Report that

accompanies this will shew; decided, that a place therein mentioned near the mouth of said Huffs Creek was in their

opinion the most eligable for the purpose of aforesaid; Your Abamorialists, now concured the question of Locations of

our Seat of Justice; as entirely set at rest; as they had reason to believe this decision met with the approbation of at

least five of the Commissioners; and altho your petitioners were entirely of opinion that the locations aught to have

been at Cooks yet as the Commissioners had decided otherwise; they were disposed, peaceably to acquiesce in their

decison..... They have however found with great surprise that the County Court composed of a majority of Majistrates

from the next end of the County refused to receive the report of the Commissioners; That located the Seat for Court

of Justices and Sumpream Court being to be held, shortly after, we flattered ourselves with securing immediate relief

from the Honorable Judge in this case, but to our great mortification, he was prevented by sickness from attending,

at the time appointed. He has since held a Special Court for the purpose, of trying the prisoners confined by the Sherif.

But of course --- not do any other business your memorealists still however flattered themsleves that the commissioners

report would be ultimately received because they considered the court was bound to comply with all Acts of your

honorable Houses and because the report was in all respects favourable to the west end of the County; and in perfect

obedience to the Act passed by your honorable Houses at their last session. They regret their disapointment and are

compelled in defence of their rights, thus to address your honorable Bodies as they find their neibours in the West end

of the County industrously and anxiously useing every endeavor to procure signatures to a petetion praying your

honorable Houses to locate the seat at the Islands of Guyandotte, only 26 miles from the wester extremity of the County

and at least 80 or 90 miles from the eastern line.... They are also the more urjed to this measure as they find that

several of their neibours in the east allure'd by the promise of a new County; have signed the petition in favour of the

Islands; which they believe is in direct oppossition to a Solemn Act of your Honorble Houses....... Your memorialists

there for Respectfully Pray your Honorable Houses, will be graciously pleased to confirm the Act of your Commissioners,

imployed by and under your Act as aforesaid; and who in conformety therewith, have executed their duty , to the full

intent, and meaning thereof.... Never the less should your honorable Houses be of opinion that any doubt remains as to

the propriety of your commissions decision; we pray you will be pleased in this case to appoint new Commissioners to

examine the terrtory of our new County; a measure in our opinion absolutely necessary; to enable them to do full justice

to the inhabitants thereof and your petitioners as in duty will ever pray.
