Thomas Timmons of Ireland and Northumberland Virginia

About the Book

Thomas Timmons was an ancient grandfather of my grandmother’s family. My grandmother Geneva Josephine Timmons related the make up of the family as being English, Irish and Black Dutch, the Black Dutch having married into the Timmons family at least four times that I know of beginning with old John Calvin Timmons and Elizabeth in about 1740 in Frederick county Virginia. Then the Revolutionary war hero Abner Timmons and wife Hannah about 1785 in the old 96th District of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Then with Abner’s grandson Robert marring Matilda Brummett who’s family was from East Tennessee, Then William Timmons Robert’s oldest son married Melissa Coppock who was part Cherokee and Quaker. This Quaker family was also from South Carolina.   My Timmons ancestors had migrated from Virginia to South Carolina to the Hopkins Kentucky area to Darke county Ohio, were the family lived for sixty years before moving again to Grant county Indiana and then back to Ohio in the Toledo area. The migration to Toledo took place in about 1913.
