My Tune family is confirmed to be in the Haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1b5a, also known as R-SRY2627(also known as M167). The places of highest frequency for this group are Spain (esp. Catalonia), Western France, Cornwall, and Wales. This represents the Catalano-Gascon subclade of the Italo-Celtic group. I'm happy to share and accept corrections. If you should use any of my information listed here, please credit my database as the source of your information.

  • ID: I235
  • Name: James Toone
  • Sex: M
  • Birth: BET 1627 AND 1637 in presumed in England
  • Note:
    Please note the range of birth years is NOT proven, but estimated based upon an age of 40-50 years at time of death. Certainly James Toone could have been born earlier.

    These 4 records are NOT proven, rather place here for further research.....also note that a Luke Billington was also found in this same location. Luke Billington and James Toone were neighbors in the Northern Neck, Old Rapphannock County, Virginia.

    Understanding Headrights

    "Any person immigrating into Virginia was a potential headright. As the documents quoted above make clear, anyone transported into Virginia with the intent to inhabit was a valid headright."

    "Genealogists tend to assume that a headright was imported by the patentee who claimed him. This seems an unwarranted assumption. Unless we find a court record for the certificate, we can’t know the importer’s identity. Once obtained, headright certificates could be bought and sold like any other property, and the evidence is that they frequently changed hands prior to being turned into patent claims. Thus the person receiving the patent may have neither imported nor employed the headrights he claimed. "

    "Genealogists also often assume that the importation of a headright occurred at about the same time as the patent date. In reality, the headrights had more than likely been imported at least a few years before the patent and perhaps several years earlier."

    Abstract from article regarding the problem with transported felons who found employment in Richmond County, Virginia

    "Substantial planters such as Samuel Hopkins, George Garland, Stanley Gower and Thomas Yeatman all owned convict servants. So too did SMALL PLANTERS like Thomas Nash, Jr. William Crewsden, William Walker, William Richardson, Edward Hinkley, William Griffin, Edward Franklin, Francis Christian, Charles Spoe, William Taylor and JAMES TOONE. "

    2. leadership; predominance.
    3. (esp. among smaller nations) aggression or expansionism by large nations in an effort to achieve world domination.

    Thank you for your request that we check The Seattle Public Library's copy of George Sherwood's compilation, "American Colonists in English Records..." for the name James Town. We own the 1969 reprint of the 1961 reprint edition. When we checked the entry on page 102, it indeed refers to "James Town", but is obviously referring to the place in Virginia, not a person's name. The entry reads:

    "Duke of Northumberland's MSS. (Hist. MSS. Commission 3/53) 1607. June 22. James Town in Virginia. Letter. The Council in Virginia to the Council of Virginia in England. Refers to conditions of agriculture, etc." (This is followed by the names of seven men as signers of the letter, but none
    of them were named James Town.)

    Church Parishes of
    Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties

    The established Church in Colonial Virginia was the Church of England. As in England, parishes were "local units of ecclesiastical and community organization".2 The Virginia General Assembly, through legislation, created parishes and defined their boundaries. As the population of Colonial Virginia grew, new parishes were formed and boundary lines changed.

    Although the Church of England was dis-established as the official Church following the American Revolution and most of the duties of the vestry turned over to county officials, the parishes continued in existence. The parish boundaries were also used as geographic designations with the residence of parties to deeds being given by parish and county. These designations may be useful in determining in which part of the county the persons resided and the land being conveyed was located.

    Old Rappahannock County became extinct in 1692 when it was divided into Essex and Richmond Counties. North Farnham Parish fell wholly into Richmond County at the division.

    Source: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vaessex/esxpar.html#PAR

    (Old)Rappahannock County, Virginia had been abolished in 1692 and Richmond County, Virginia formed from that land lying on the north side of the Rappahannock River and Essex County, Virginia from the part on the south side. Farnham Creek (37.8254154 -76.6799573) flows into the Rappahannock River in the southeastern part of Richmond County. This is the area that the Tune family lived in for over one hundred years.

    *******
    This surname of TOWN/TOWNE/TOONE/TUNE
    was a locational name 'the dweller at the town' from residence therein; originally an enclosure, a farmstead, a farm with all its outbuildings. Originally the coat of arms identified the wearer, either in battle or in tournaments. Completely covered in body and facial armour the knight could be spotted and known by the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped garment which enveloped him. THE NAME WAS BROUGHT INTO IRELAND WHERE IT WAS DERIVED FROM A PERSONAL NAME TO THE GAELIC O'TOMHRAIR. This family of the Cenel Eoghain possessed territory on the banks of the Foyle, and later moved into County Kerry. The name has always been numerous in Ulster, particularly now in counties Armagh and Derry. Early records of the name mention Hugh Tunere, 1242. Andrew le Toner was documented in County Suffolk, in the year 1327. Most of the European surnames in countries such as England, Scotland and France were formed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The process had started somewhat earlier and had continued in some places into the 19th century, but the norm is that in the tenth and eleventh centuries people did not have surnames, whereas by the fifteenth century most of the population had acquired a second name. Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066. They are to be found in the Domesday Book of 1086. Those of gentler blood assumed surnames at this time, but it was not until the reign of Edward II (1307-1327) that second names became general practice for all people. Early records of the name mention Geoffrey de la Tune, 1273, County Sussex. Thomas atte Toune of County Somerset, was documented during the reign of Edward III (1327-1377). Thurstan Toone of County Leicester, registered at Oxford University in 1602. William Green married Anne Towne at St. George's, Hanover Square, London in the year 1793.

    Toone
    This interesting surname of English origin is a topographical name for someone who lived in a village, as opposed to an outlying farm or hamlet, deriving from the middle English "tune" "tone" (old English pre 7th Century "tun") meaning "settlement", "village" or "enclosure". The surname dates back to the late 11th Century, (see below). Further recordings include Peter de la Tune (1219), "Sir Christopher Hatton's Book of Seals, Surrey", and John de la Tone (1275), "The Hundred Rolls of Suffolk". Variations in the idiom of the spelling include Toone, Town, Towne, Townes, etc.. Richard Towne was christened at St. Leonard, Eastcheap, London on October 9th 1544. Priscilla, daughter of George and Priscilla Toon, was christened at Christchurch, Greyfriars, Newgate, London, on March 12th 1693, whilst Thomas, son of William and Elizabeth Toone was christened at St. Mary Whitechapel, London on July 30th 1729. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Wistric Optun(sic, should be Oftun), which was dated 1095, in "The Feudal Documents from the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds", Suffolk, during the reign of King William ll, known as "Rufus", 1087 - 1100. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

    The research results below show no relationship of any James Toone as a son of the Henry Toone and Mary Ward Toone of Leicestershire County, England.

    Date: 3 March 2010

    Dear Ms. Saunders,

    Thank you for your enquiry. The results of my research are shown below.

    Visitation 1619 Camden

    Osgathorpe Bishop's Transcripts.....MF 384
    Marriage Bond Index 1570-1729.....HARTOPP

    Results of Research:

    "There are many TOON(E) families in Leicestershire so I had a look to see if there were any recorded pedigrees with a James born c1620. There were none. I also looked for a marriage for James prior to his going to America and again I found nothing.

    I looked at the marriage in Prestwold in 1612 and I can confirm that Henry, son of Hamlet TOONE, of Belton, yeoman, and Mary daughter of William WARD of Prestwold and pastor of that church (Prestwold) were married at Prestwold on 15 June 1612.

    There were no baptisms for children of Henry at Belton at that time, nor any TOONES baptized at Osgathorpe. Unfortunately, unlike Belton and Prestwold, there are no registers for that period for Osgathorpe and there are gaps in the Bishop's Transcripts which are contemporary copies.

    In Prestworld I found baptisms for ten children of Henry TOONE of Prestwold. He is described in the baptism register as a husbandman, one who keeps animals.

    There was no James amongst the ten children:

    Elizabeth, born 29 October 1613; baptized 30 October 1613; buried 12 November 1616

    Samuel, born 27 September 1615; baptized 28 September 1615

    Elizabeth, baptized 6 December 1618

    Henry, baptized 28 February 1620/21

    William, baptized 24 April 1623

    Mary, baptized 24 March 1624/25

    Ward, baptized 25 July 1626; buried 22 February 1628/29

    Helen, baptized 25 April 1628

    Frances, baptized 24 October 1630

    Hamlet, baptized 31 December 1631

    James cannot be a son of this Henry, not if other verified records put his age at c1620. (I'd like to know your thoughts on the accuracy of James Toone's birth as circa 1620. I added that to my database, based upon the online databases and nothing else. If anyone has something that would verify that date, I like to have it.)

    Suggested Further Research:

    I feel that the chances of finding James are very small. There do not appear to be any substantial clues to James' origins. If you have a verified list of James' children, their names might hint at his parents. Another possibility is James YEOMANS. Do you know from where in England he originated? That might help to locate a marriage between James TOONE and his first wife prior to leaving England. If he married after arriving in America, then it won't help at all."

    Yours sincerely,
    Mrs. P. Grundy B.A. M.A.

    REFERENCES TO JAMES TOONE AND LORD BALTIMORE

    I have also seen references online regarding immigrant ancestor JAMES TOONE being an ORPHAN and CABIN BOY for CECIL CALVERT, 2nd LORD BALTIMORE, first Propietary Govenor of Maryland (1632-1675). Cecil Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore never visited Maryland, rather he sent two of his brothers to do so. Research of records does not shows a James Toone, although this does not exclude the possibility.
    See complete article regarding Lord Baltimore & the settling of Maryland, with documented references at this link....

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecilius_Calvert,_2nd_Baron_Baltimore#cite_no te-B40-10

    "The first expedition consisted of two ships that had formerly belonged to Baltimore's father, the Ark and the Dove.[11] They departed Gravesend with 128 settlers on board and, after being chased down and brought back by the British navy so that the settlers could take an oath of allegiance to the King as required by law, sailed in October of 1632 for the Isle of Wight to pick up more settlers.[11] At the Isle of Wight they boarded two Jesuit priests and nearly two hundred more settlers before setting out across the Atlantic.[12] SINCE HE COULD NOT LEAD THE EXPEDITION HIMSELF, BALTIMORE sent detailed instructions for the governance of the colony, including commands that his brothers seek any information about those who had tried to thwart the colony and make contact with Claiborne to determine his intentions for the trading station on Kent Island.[13] The instructions also emphasized the importance of religious toleration among the colonists, who were nearly equal parts Catholic and Protestant.[13] With these last instructions, the expedition crossed the Atlantic and founded the first settlement at St. Mary's in 1634 on land purchased from the native Yaocomico.[14] STRANDED IN ENGLAND, BALTIMORE could do little to help the young colony through its tribulations, which included an ongoing feud with Claiborne that led to a series of naval skirmishes.[15]

    Lord Baltimore continued as Maryland's first Proprietary Governor (1632-1675), and attempted to maintain an active involvement in the governance of the colony, though he never visited it. During this long tenure, he governed through deputies, the last being his only son Charles."

    PRIOR GENERATIONS AND THE TOONES FROM LEICESTER, ENGLAND

    The generations prior to this James Toone have been seen on databases related to the Toones of Osgathorpe, Leicester, England. I have seen no references to any source documents on many of those databases. This is what I have found and it does not show that relationship. Also see research from Leicester, UK done March 3, 2010 above.

    Records from Oxford University Alumni, 1500-1886 > 1500-1714, Volume IV > T, page 1496 shows the following....

    TOONE, Thurston of Cheshire, pleb. LINCOLN COLL., matric. 22 Oct., 1602, aged 18 (subscribes "Therstans"), B. A. 2 July 1606, M. A. 1 June 1609; rector of Collingtree, Northants, 1630. See Foster's "Index Eccl."

    Some databases show James Toone/Town (transported to Gloucester, Virginia in 1651 by John King), who was married prior to Ann Duncombe Dew in Virginia, to be one Thurstan(Thurston), or James Thurston, or James T. Toone who married Mary Atterbury, sister to Richard Atterbury of England. I believe this to be INCORRECT for this reason. Thurston Toone, married to Mary Atterbury of Collingtree, Northamptonshire, England is mentioned in the will of Richard Atterbury written July 24, 1637 and proved June 28 1638. It also appears this Thurston Toone died in England circa 1638 from the following record.....

    James Toone/Town, our immigrant ancestor, wrote his will on August. 29, 1676 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. I believe his first wife obviously was not the above mentioned Mary Atterbury married to Thurston Toone.
