Tong Coat of Arms
The Tong line
Most of the initial information I have for the Tong family name comes from H.S. Stout. In 1974, he published the second edition of Tong-Tonge-Tongue and Allied Families. After his death, his widow sent me several boxes of papers. This consisted of materials (corrections and additions) for his third edition that was in progress at the time of his death. I work through that material as time allows.
Over the years, I have added to this as possible. Much is known about William Tongue (b 8 Aug, 1756 and d 8 Feb, 1848). But, things get pretty sketchy as you go back further.
Recently, I added information connecting the Tongs with the Crawford name. Following that back, I learned that this Crawford line connected with the Bradfords. This takes us back to William Bradford, the long-time governor of the Pilgrams at Plymouth, Massachusetts.

California Tongs Collection
|
Recently, I was given a collection of information on the 'California Tongs'. This was collected by John Minot Milliken, grandson of Clarksville pioneer Gilbert Shores Tong. The collection was passed on to me to add to the rest of the Tong information. See the original collection. (46.1Mb - it might take several minutes to open!)
Plese contact me if you are closely related to this line and collect family history information. I can make arrangements for you to access the original collection.
