Texas Trails of Our Tollett Family

Mark (Marcus) Tollett (ca. 1750) is the earliest known ancestor of the Tollett family. He immigrated to America and settled in Augusta County, Virginia. He was the father of at least two children. One, a son named John Tollett (1757-1824), was born in Virginia. He married Margaret Brown and they moved to Tennessee and then to Arkansas. They were the parents of seven children. A number of their children and grandchildren eventually settled in Texas. Descendants live throughout the United States.
