Thomas,
The information listed is correct. What I have found during my many pain staking hours of research is that between the people writing the information down and the people trying to interpret the writing and the fact that many people back then couldn't read or write; there are a tremendous amount of errors in the documentation that you find. My findings are based upon dates, locations, family history, genealogy websites, Irish history, English history, American history, etc. You cite Elizabeth as being born in Virginia. When you look at the census information, the writing is sometimes hard to interpret. If you look from decade to decade, you'll see that "PA" in cursive looks a lot like "VA". Easy to confuse.
Are you looking for a branch of the Tolerton's/Tollerton's that I can help you with?
