He came to the New World as a British soldier, deserted, and fought with General Anthony Wayne with the Pennsylvania Forces. Following the war, he lived in Virginia, then in Jefferson County, Ohio; and came west to Springfield, Ohio with his daughter Sarah and her husband John Babb. He was buried in Springfield in 1835.

From a post on the Toland Board on Rootsweb by Leigh Fites:
Here's what I know: the Cornelius Toland (1752-1835) who came over from County Derry, North Ireland, with the British Navy (shanghaied, I assume, as he switched sides upon arriving and fought against them ) in Feb 1776. He fought as a Private til April 1777. His DAR ancestor # is A114433; their documentation shows that he served with Captain Caleb North and Colonel Anthony Wayne.

He had his first family with an Irish wife, Rosana, in Virginia, (mother of his first child, David, 1793) and then moved to Belmont County, Ohio sometime after 1808. Late in life, he moved in to Stark County, OH in 1833, to live near his son and son-in-law.

1820 Census shows he was then married to Catherine Duffy, who was at the time 60 (b. 1760) who is listed as having "2 sons, 17 & 14, at home) She is shown elsewhere as mother to the kids listed in the following paragraph, plus Hugh, Michael, and Nancy. (It is unclear how many were actually born to his first wife, Rosana.)

I know he was married again after her to a Joanne Coleman, who also died before him.

He is buried in the little Columbia St. cemetery in Springfield, OH, and his was the first military funeral ever conducted in that county. There is a DAR plaque on his grave.

At his death in 1835, docs show he had a pension from government of $8/mo (applied for in 1818). That year his many kids were gathered to hear the will read (oldest son David, [1793-1853] was executor of the estate). Present were: David, Nancy, Jeremiah, Cornelius Jr. (b 1808, Virginia), Sarah (Toland) & John Babb, Morgan, Owen, Neil, Cornelius (error, or a second Cornelius Jr....I don't know-2 diff moms?), Catherine (Toland) and John L. Mouder.
