Lt Col Isaac TOBY Miniature
This image was sent to me by Alison Craswell** in Canberra 'who is descended from Isaac's sister- in-law, Celia SCOTT [nee KING].
Isaac's sister ,Martha Haydon TOBY married Richard OLIVER in the 1830 . They were my late husband's gggrandparents .
{** Alison contacted me recently in response to a msg board item posted by me 5+ years ago}
I'm lucky to have Isaac's commission document signed [it may have been a stamp]by the young Victoria .
In my loft I have an inscribed snuff box and letter . Sadly , the loft is out of bounds for me .Must ask my daughter when she next visits.
