Generation 6

ISRAEL TUPPER (1744 - 1817)

Parents: Samuel Tupper and Hannah Fish

Who was Deborah Tobey? The Tupper genealogy [Ref] claims that she was the daughter of Joshua and Maria Tobey. But, that Deborah Tobey was born on 7 Sep 1772, after Israel and Deborah were married.

The only Deborah Tobey of a reasonable age to have married Israel Tupper that I have been able to uncover is the daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Swift) Tobey, baptised on 20 Jun 1751. 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. However, unless Deborah was several years only when she was baptised, she would appear to be the wrong age to have married Silas. Moreover, the Jonathan Tobey who lived in Dartmouth married Elizabeth Cannon.

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]
