About A New England History - The Towle/Stoyle Family Tree
This is a big family with a lot of interrelationships given that so many were early settlers of New England. Families stayed close and frequently married within the community. I am fascinated by the complete inter-connectivity of these early pioneers. Please feel free to send comments, corrections or additions to this information and PLEASE sign the Guestbook!
I am also the Administrator for the TOWLE Surname Project on FamilyTreeDNA. If you are a male with the last name of TOWLE/DOWLE/DOWELL/DOLE please cut & paste this link (www.familytreedna.com/public/TowleNH) into your browser for information and to register/contribute to the study OR click on the link provided below!!
The early basis for the Towle family information is William Haslet Jones work with corrections as appropriate. Additional current research is from documented historical data in other books, regional historical societies & records, DAR information, Genealogical Societies, cemetery records, family papers, as well as other records and documentation.
The original Stoyle/Stoyll family information is based on family letters, bibles and was first undertaken by my grandfather, Lewis Everett Stoyle, Sr. and then further continued by my mother, Janice Louise Towle Stoyle before the Internet made things a bit easier (but not necessarily more accurate!).
Additional research is continually being done by me, through reviewing existing family documents and verifying data via vital records, genealogical society information, Ellis Island information and other records.
Information on this site is generally substantiated up to the gateway ancestors. I generally will not post information unless I can substantiate it from at least 3 sources. HOWEVER, there are cases where documented information in state/local town/family histories has been shown to be incorrect (History of Isleborough Maine, History of Parsonsfield Maine, etc.). I try my best to keep it all straight but sometimes errors do slip in. In those cases where I do not have 3 sources or the information feels wrong but is compelling; I will include it but include a note stating that the data has not been substantiated.
Have fun!
