• Name	George Nathaniel Tobin
  Birth	1771	New Jersey, USA
  Gender	Male
  Death	4 May 1846	Monroe?, Guernsey, Ohio, USA
  His tombstone says May 4, 1845. His will says May 4, 1846. His will is apt to be more correct as his estate probably was probated a month after his death, not 13 months instead. That could account for his birth date on the tombstone being much to early for his parents marriage of 1775.

• Notes

  Nathaniel, farmer, "of Loudoun County" bought two lots in Washington, Culpepper Co., Virginia, in 1800. He and Elizabeth and his father apparently moved onto this property in 1806. In 1810 he is the Nathaniel that is living in Culpepper Co., Virginia. That Nathaniel has 3 males age 0-10; 1 male age 26-45; 1 female age 0-10; and 1 female age 26-45. Nathaniel and family moved to Guernsey Co., Ohio in about 1823/24. His father Isaac followed him there several years after. (CL-111) Family tradition that pertains to Nathaniel Tobin as remembered by Clarence Tobin of Guernsey County and recorded by Ric Tobin (Copied letter in this author's possession), is that: "Nathaniel, (Clarence's great grandfather) settled in the military land from Zanesville, Ohio. (Specifically, he bought land at $1.00 per acre on the Birmingham, Peoli Ridge). He came by an oxen pulled wagon from Maryland (In probability, VIRGINIA, although Elizabeth was from Maryland according to son George W. 1900 census info.) when Clarence's grandfather was six years old. The Hollingsworth family came with the Tobins. They settled near what is now Birmingham, OH. They lived about two miles apart and they were the only families in the area. The Tobins were Irish." This move to Guernsey Co., Ohio, probably occurred in the mid 1820's, sometime after Mar. 9, 1823 as he is listed in the Virginia County Taxlists at that time. Nathaniel brought his family with him. His father, Isaac, followed within a few years. Nathaniel's tombstone states that he died May 4, 1845, aged 74 years, but his will found in Will Book B, p. 149, is dated May 4 1846 and probated on June 8, 1846. Because the date on the tombstone is possibly in error, perhaps Nathaniel's age is in error also. A 1771 birthdate does not seem correct as his parents did not marry until 1775.
