Joshua Toler was born circa 1830. He died circa 1849? At Craven County, North Carolina, as he appears on listings of School children between the ages of 5 and 21 in District 18 and District 43 between 1841 and 1848 but does not appear on the 1850 listing of school children. He also does not appear on the 1850 Census of Craven County, leaving one to speculate that he may have died between 1848 and 1850. It is possible that he moved from Craven County to parts unknown.

Drucilla Toler was born circa 1832. She died between 1842 and 1846? At Craven County, North Carolina, as she appears on a list of school children between 5 and 21 years old in Craven County school districts 18 in 1841 and 1842. She is not listed in the 1846 list for District 43 (although her brothers and sisters are). From the listings, she is always listed as the fourth Toler child, indicating she was probably younger than Mary, Thomas, and Joshua. It is possible (but not likely) that she married and moved from Craven County; however, no record of a marriage in Craven County exists for a Drucilla Toler.
