Seventh Generation

ISRAEL TUPPER (1744 - 1817) of Sandwich and Barnard

Parents: Samuel Tupper and Hannah Fish

Israel Tupper was born on 9 May 1744 in Sandwich. [Ref][Ref] He died on 3 Mar 1817 in Barnard. [Ref][Ref, age 73] He married Deborah Tobey on 24 Nov 1770. [Ref] Israel and Deborah are buried in the Barnard center yard. [Ref][Ref]

Who was the Deborah Tobey who married Israel Tupper? The Tupper genealogy [Ref] claims that she was the daughter of Joshua and Maria Tobey. But, that Deborah was baptised as Deborah Tobey on 6 Sep 1772 in Sandwich [Ref, d. Joshua and Maria] , after Israel and Deborah were married.

The Tobey who married Israel was married in 1770 and had her last child in 1793. This suggests she was almost surely born between 1745 and 1755. Based on the date of her death, she was born about 1747. The only possible Deborah Toby that I have been able to uncover is the Deborah baptised on 30 Jun 1751 in Sandwich. [Ref, d. Jonathan and Deborah] It is sometimes claimed that this Deborah married Silas Swift. The basis for this is that Silas Swift and a Deborah Tobey, both of Dartmouth, published their intention to marry on 17 Dec 1765. [Ref] However, the Deborah Tobey of Dartmouth who married Silas Swift was the daughter of Elisha and Desire Tobey, baptised on 5 Jul 1752 in Dartmouth. [Ref, d. Elisha and Desire] Elisha Tobey left a bequest to his daughter Deborah Swift. [Ref, p. 72] Is it possible Deborah was a widow?

Israel was a school teacher. [Ref] Tupper [Ref] says that, "It was claimed that he moved inland to discourage his sons from becoming seafaring men." [Ref]

Children of Israel Tupper and Deborah Tobey:

Remember Tupper was born on 10 Sep 1771 [Ref, p. 45] in Sandwich. [Ref] She died in Sandwich, age two. [Ref, p. 45]
