I have also substantially rewritten the first section on the life of Joseph Toy and added the whole section on the Richard Dallam Toy line – in which I belong – and a brief account of one strand of the Dallam family down to the present. I am indebted to James William Toy of Lawton OK for contributing the information on the descendants of Joseph Toy's son James. The Internet is a marvelous tool for genealogy, and I have sometimes checked to see if I could easily extend the work of MM. Where I have done so, my Internet-based additions are in italics. - C.A. 2 Contents Letter of Mercedes Murray to her Neice, Anna Catherine Murray Creedon.............................................4 Preface by Paul Emmett Creedon..............................................................................................................5 Family Tree of Marie Mercedes Kauffelt Murray......................................................................................6 Joseph Toy, Silversmith, Educator, Clergyman..........................................................................................7 The Heulings Connection.........................................................................................................................12 The Maternal Ancestry of Joseph Toy......................................................................................................15 The Paternal Ancestry of Joseph Toy.......................................................................................................19 Family of Frances Dallam Toy.................................................................................................................26 The Dallam Homestead, Harford County, Maryland...................................................................33 Broom's Bloom and the Webster-Dallam Family........................................................................34 Descendants of Joseph and Frances Dallam Toy.....................................................................................35 The Richard Dallam Toy (5) Line................................................................................................36 The Morton Boyte Howell Line.......................................................................................42 The James Toy (5) Line................................................................................................................59 The John H.

She graduated from the York County (Pennsylvania) High School in 1901and was connected with the Supervisors of City Charities in Baltimore, the Henry Watson Children’s Aid Society, and was the first Superintendent of the Women’s Prison in Maryland. She served with the Baltimore Emergency Relief Commission, the Emergency Charity Association and the Department of Public Welfare for thirty- five years. She was also an active member of several private Catholic Agencies, and was a member of the Maryland State Conference of Social Work, the American Association of Social Workers and the National Prison Conference. She was an accomplished painter and a member of the Maryland Historical Society. The exact year of her death has not been found. Mercedes Murray. Photo provided by Patricia Creedon. Letter of Mercedes Murray to her Neice, Anna Catherine Murray Creedon Dec. 15, 1954 Dear Kitty, Here is a copy of the Toy Genealogy which I submitted to the Parker Center at the Md. Historical Society. It is involved and could have been better, but I didn’t have too much time. It would have been better in a number of small genealogies. It makes my head swim, when I read it now. Getting old and not too well, and wanting it to be on record for the descendants of the three of you Murrays, I went and dived in. Am working on the Schultz and allied families now, which is a conglomeration, alas. I hope you, H. and the boys are well. I always get your letters to your mother and dad, so keep track of you all. Aunt J. is fine and am glad to say was able to get Social Security, which is a help in these days. She joins me in love to the family. Yours, /signed/Aunt M. 4 Preface by Paul Emmett Creedon My rationale for assembling and typing up these genealogies can be summed up by a glance at a letter Aunt Mercedes sent to my mother shortly after I was born. (The letter is printed above.) In it she says she is leaving these works as a legacy for the descendants of the “Murray Girls”. The copies that went to my mother are now falling apart, and it seemed a shame that so much effort should go to waste. So, I have typed them all up in Microsoft Word, and saved them as web pages. In this new electronic format they should now endure for at least a few more decades, at which point it will be the task of some future Murray descendant with too much free time to translate them into whatever format will then be current. I do not really expect anyone to read these through from beginning to end. Quite likely I myself am the only person ever to have done so since Aunt Mercedes compiled them and then only because I was typing them. If a casual reader is looking for a dramatic highlight, I suggest going straight to Part 5 of the Toy genealogy. Incidentally, the Toy genealogy originally existed as one enormous document over 30 single spaced typewritten pages in length. Using my own authority I have divided it into 6 sections, in hopes of making it a little more digestible. Please excuse the numerous errors and typos which appear in these documents. I am not a professional typist; moreover the originals were sometimes difficult to decipher. In order to avoid false interpretations on my part, I have transcribed the genealogies “as is”, making corrections only where they were obviously warranted, for example in cases where a person died before they were born and so forth. The apparent instances of inbreeding have been accepted at face value. After all, they might explain something about the Murray clan’s more picturesque qualities. In all seriousness, I cannot help but be impressed by the heroic amount of effort that Aunt Mercedes devoted to this topic. I still remember visiting her and the mysterious Aunt Julia in their brownstone in the wilds of Baltimore. If she was a trifle eccentric, she was also a charming and cultured lady, easily the most colorful of all the Murrays.
