My great grandfather Daniel Toomey was living in Liberty, Union County, Indiana in 1870:
The 1870 Union County, Indiana census for P.O. Liberty page 1 shows Daniel Toomey head of
household 3, he is a 31 year old Miller, born in Pennsylvania, with real estate property
valued at $1,500 and personal property valued at $200, he can read and write. He is
married to Racheal age 26 born in Maryland, keeping house. Living with them are Jane
Toomey age 9 born in Maryland, Laura Toomey age 5 born in Indiana, and William Toomey age
1 born in Indiana.
He came from Baltimore City Maryland after 1860 to Liberty and was back in Baltimore by
1880. Source 1860, 1880 Baltimore census records. His first wife died in Liberty between
1870 and 1880 of TB in Liberty, according to a family bible. He is shown as a Union
veteran in the 1910 Baltimore census. I have been unable to find his military records,
wife's death record or Cemetery location in Indiana. As with many people, the spelling
of his name varied, Twomey, Tumey, etc. Any information on Daniel and his family would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bill Toomey
