TIMMONS Families

There are many TIMMONS families in North America. I have subscribed to Bunnie TIMMONS TIMMONS Family Newsletter for several years. She appears to have stopped sending the newsletter in late 2006. Many families can trace their ancestry to the Reverand Stephan TIMMONS of southern Ohio. The fact that my John TIMMONS family is found in the same area makes it appear there must be some relationship yet to be determined. Enough is known to confidently trace our ancestry to John TIMMONS the Sergeant in the Revolutionary War from Virginia. I have yet to find any ancestry before John. Our TIMMONS name is rarely spelled TIMMON or TIMMINS. TIMMONS appears to be of English or Wales in origin. Genealogy.com has an interesting 2004 post on research on the Irish Timmins/Timmons ancestry.

My TIMMONS Families consist of:

My great-grandparents Matilda TIMMONS 1866-1949 Delphos, Van Wert County, Ohio to Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana and Thomas Jefferson FOLLIS 1856-1923 Somerset, Wabash County, Indiana to Delphos, Van Wert County, Ohio to Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana.

Matilda's parents were Lewis TIMMONS 1838-1899 Logan County to Delphos, Van Wert County, Ohio and Amanda KELKER 1839-1914 Franklin County, Pennsylvania to Delphos, Van Wert County, Ohio to Marion, Grant County, Indiana.

Lewis' parents were Edmund TIMMONS 1790-1866 Virginia to Pickaway-Madison Counties, Ohio to Clark County to Logan County to Delphos, Van Wert County, Ohio and Rachel FIRMAN 1794-1874 Clark County, Kentucky to Clark County, Ohio to Logan County to Delphos, Van Wert County, Ohio.

Edmund's father was John TIMMONS 1757-1834 Maryland or Virginia to Pickaway-Madison Counties, Ohio and unknown wife. John was a three year sergeant in the Revolutionary War from Virginia. I need to order his military papers.
