THE JOHN H. TOY LINE
The Carlin family of which Mary Anne Carlin was a member is not to be confused with the family of William Carlin adopted son of James Carlin of My Lady’s Manor. This James Carlin is buried at Bethel Church, on the Manor in Baltimore County and his will can be found at the Register of Wills, Belair, Harford County, MD. The will of his only and adopted son William Carlin (William Center) can also be found in Belair. The story of this adoption can be found in Presbyterian Pioneers, Bethel Church, Harford County, MD by Andrew B. Cross, 1866.
The only information on George Carlin, is purely traditional. He was not a Catholic, but his wife was and he was said to have come from New Jersey and was a friend of Rev. Joseph Toy. He was said to have born the name of Carleton. There is a reference to this name place in Volume 29, page 23 of the Maryland Historical Magazine for 1929. The United States Census of 1790 verifies that the family of George Carlin lived in Harford County at that time and consisted of “1 free white male, 1 free white male under 16 and 5 free white females”. The Maryland Records of Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh record “George Carlin took the oath of fidelity before William Webb 1778”, and the Maryland Archives, Volume 8, Page 62, Maryland Troops in the Continental Service 1775-83 “Enrolled by 1st Lieutenant Andrew Porter I Cecil County and passed by Elisha Hall of Elisha 7/27/1776 George Carlin or Carlon”.
The children of John H. Toy, Sr. (5) and Mary his wife:
EDWARD TOY (6) on a list of letters held in the Baltimore Post Office dated 1/15/1816. There was also a child named Mary Anne Toy baptized at Old St. Peter’s Pro- Cathedral by Father Fenwick 8/11/1812 the parents listed as Edward and Elizabeth Toy.
JOHN H. TOY, JR. (6) born 4/9/1802 and baptized 5/8/1802 at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Baltimore by Father Francis Beeston son of John and Mary Carlin Toy. He married Eleanor Boyle, a sister of Catherine Boyle, who married George Lochary of Priests’ Ford (St. Joseph’s Mission, Deer Creek, Harford County). These sisters were said to be grand-daughters of Patrick Boyle from Ireland and early resident of Harford County, whose son married into the Harlan Family.
On March 27th 1832 John H. Toy, Jr., purchased an estate beyond Hickory, Harford County, which included “Love’s Addition, Bond’s Lot, and Bond’s Fortune”. (HD Liber 15, Folio-97, Land Record Office, Belair) After the death of John H. Toy, Jr., in 1870, his property was purchased by Benjamin Slade who married a daughter of George Lochary and Catherine Boyle. George W. Archer, M.D. in an article on the Old Catholic Church Priests’ Ford refers to John H. Toy as “an eccentric man”, that is putting it mildly for after the death of his father and mother John H. Toy (5) and Mary, both were buried in St. Ignatius’ Churchyard at Hickory. Later John H. Toy had a disagreement with the pastor of St. Ignatius and one night had the bodies of his parents disinterred and reburied in a burial lot on the home place to get even with the priest. Later John H. Toy (6) and his wife Eleanor were also buried with several of their children in the same burial lot. Up to some years ago the tombstones were still legible. Miss Lillian Slade remembers the Toy home well as she is the grand-daughter of Benjamin Slade. She also remembers Benjamin Toy, youngest son of John H. Toy (5) who lived with her grandparents for a short time after his father’s death.
The will of John H. Toy, Jr. (6) was probated at Belair 1/18/1870 and is on file at the Register of Wills. In the will he mentions sons: John H. Toy 3rd, Henry Toy, James Toy, George Toy, William J. Toy the executor, Edward Toy and Benjamin Toy, two daughters Sallie R. Harkins and Elizabeth K. Harkins and two grand-children Emory and Millard Harkins. After the death of their father the sons left Harford County, several going to North Hampton County, Virginia and others to Mississippi.
Several baptisms of the children of John H. Toy and Eleanor Boyle are recorded at St. Ignatius, Hickory:
ELIZABETH daughter of John and Ellen Toy was born 9/29/1833 and baptized 1/16/1834. Sponsor Anne Lochary.
THOMAS son of John H. and Eleanor Boyle was born 1/18/1849 and was baptized 8/14/1852. Sponsors were Thomas Poole and Martha Murray.
