I have been gathering this information over the past 25 years and have finally been able to
put some of it online for my family to view. This is a fun family tree that traces both sides of
my ancestry. I have also included many other connecting family lines, through marriages.
My Father - James Francis Toomey
My Paternal Grandfather - James Joseph Toomey
My Paternal Grandmother - Mary Jane McKeown
My Mother - Annie Pecola Frazier
My Maternal Grandfather - John Williams Frazier
My Maternal Grandmother - Effie Dora Eatman
Please take a moment to sign the guest book, so I know you stopped by :-)
ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE IS PASSWORD PROTECTED.
Check out all the family surnames on this site. If you find a common surname here, please
contact me and let me know how you are related. I will be glad to check for your ancestors
in this tree. If a common ancestor is located, I will add the connecting line to the family
tree and make you a member.
This is a story about immigrants, both royal and poor, who came to America for a new and better
life. They came from England. They came from Ireland. They came from Scotland. They came from
Poland. They came from all over the world, with hopes of a bright future for themselves and
their families.
This is a story about the first immigrants that settled in the Massachusetts and Virginia
colonies. It tells how many of them fought and died in America's battle for independence from
England and shows how the survivor's struggled for unity, resulting in the bloody Civil War
between the Yankees (North) and Rebels (South).
This family tree tells the story of the "coming-together" of people from all races and religions, in one
great nation, under God, with freedom, liberty and justice for all.

My father's heritage:
"The TOOMEY and MCKEOWN (MCKEON) Families"
from Ireland, Scotland and England to New York and Australia.
These lines all trace back to various counties in Ireland. I could use help locating our TOOMEY
ancestors. I am currently stuck at the parents of John TOOMEY, born about 1835-1850 in Ireland.
He married Elizabeth CARVER, who was also from Ireland (maybe Dublin)? She was the daughter of
John CARVER and Bessie CLANCY from Ireland. I also need help with the WALSH line. I am stuck at
William WALSH, born about 1851 in Limerick Ireland. He married Margaret SULLIVAN. Looking for
information on both of their parents.
As for the MCKEOWN line, I have traced us back to James MCKEON and Ann MCKEON from Westmeath,
Ireland. These ancestors are from two separate branches of the McKeon Family.
I have not been able to find a royal connection in any of these families, but it's just a
matter of time and further research. Not many people are researching these family histories
online, so there is a lot less information about them. Most of this research will require
visiting parishes and graveyards in Ireland; to discover our lost connections. Online parish
records need to be searched as well. Notable people in this family tree include:
GENERAL SEAN MAC EOIN, Famous Irish General of Longford (2nd Cousin 2x removed)
JOHN TOOMEY, Famous zookeeper of the Reptile House at the BRONX ZOO (Great Grand Uncle)
______________________________________________
My mother's heritage:
The FRAZIER, EATMAN, BROWN, HATCHER, HANCOCK and LYGON Families"
from Mecklenburg, Johnston and other counties in North Carolina.
These lines trace back to the original Jamestown Colony of Virginia, the Kings and Queens of
Europe, the Holy Roman Empire and beyond. Many SAINTS are in this tree as well as
LADY DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES and the current royal family.
Princess Diana is a 13th cousin to all FRAZIER/EATMAN descendants of my generation. We share
grandparents from 12 generations ago...Sir William Lygon and Lady Eleanor Dennis. Other Notable People
in this family line include:
ELVIS PRESLEY, 1950's Singer and Hollywood Movie Star (9th Cousin 1x Removed)
SAMMY HAGAR, Lead Singer in the band Van Halen (9th Cousin 1x removed)
MERIWETHER LEWIS, Leader of the Lews and Clark Expedition (9th Cousin 5x removed)
UMA THURMAN, Hollywood Actress and Movie Star (10th Cousin)
GLENN CLOSE, Hollywood Actress and Move Star (10th Cousin 1x removed)
ZACHARY TAYLOR, 12th President of the USA (10th Cousin 4x removed)
COURTNEY COX, Hollywood Actress (11th Cousin)
GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1st President of the USA (13th Cousin 6x removed)
The earliest known FRAZIER ancestor is James FRASER who arrived in Mecklenburg, North Carolina by 1772. I do not know his wife's maiden name (It is NOT Bradford) and I don't know where he came from. If you can help search for his ancestors please message me. I also can not find the grave of my grandfather John Williams FRAZIER. I do not know his birth date or death date...only that he was born in 1868 in Mecklenburg and died in 1927, possibly in Weldon, North Carolina.
The earliest confirmed EATMAN ancestor is Kimbrel EATMAN, and he is a complete mystery. Please
help me prove his parents. He was married three times and the records of all three marriages
have been found, but I need a record of his birth, to discover the name of his parents. I have
tentativelty connected him to John Eatman, based on a census that shows John Eatman living next
door to Willie Price. Kimbrel Eatman married Piety price, whose father was Willie Price

CREECH, among many others.

Most of the very early BC info in this tree is contested, controversial and somewhat mythical,
but it's fun to think of the possibilities and the what-if's! I have researched a path back
through the Kingdom of Troy, that supposedly connects to the Biblical patriarchs of ancient
Mesopotamia. Using the family lines detailed in the King James Christian Bible, I have traced
us back to Adam and Eve...JUST FOR FUN! REMEMBER....This is mythical information only.
Since I only do this as a hobby, please realize that the tree probably contains errors. If any
family member has an interest in genealogy, I would DEFINITELY appreciate help in searching out
and filling in the missing information for past generations. Let me know if you want to help
and I will set you up with free access to Ancestry.Com, so you can search for further
connections.
ADMINISTRATORS - PLEASE Upload your photos and your stories...your greatest memories of
someone!!!!!
If we all pitch in, we can grow this tree into something our family can be proud of. A legacy
of our preserved heritage for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to come.
This is an INTERACTIVE tree so have fun and
Enjoy!

does not read correctly. Please keep in mind that dates greater than 2016 are BC dates. Most
all BC dates are hypothetical in nature and need further research.
