Read More	Isaiah was born sometime between 1790 and 1818, however based on his admission into the Freemasons and needing to be 21 to join, he was likely born before 1806. In 1790, there was a revolt in the town of Cavan, Ireland where Isaiah joined the Freemasons 29 Dec 1825. The revolt was between the Catholics and the Presbyterians in the area. Isaiah's family was likely members of the Presbyterians since in Canada he recorded himself on census records as being Methodist. The Knockbride Presbyterian church records were burned in a fire that destroyed the church in 1821, making researching his family difficult if they lived in this area. Isaiah joined the Freemasons on 29 Dec 1825 in Roosky, Co. Cavan, Ireland. The lodge was No. 753 and the Freemasons met in the home of Edward Mahood from 2 Feb 1792 until his death in 1828. He was also a member of lodge 237 (Irish constitution) located in Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland. Isaiah was recommended for the Red Cross Degree of Knights Templar (York Right) on 28 May 1826; for Master Mason on 29 May 1826; and earned another degree on 2 Jun 1826. These records are held at the Jerusalem Lodge in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. Isaiah immigrated to Canada around 1826 and settled in the Darlington area. He married Elizabeth Hall on 11 Jun 1832 in Cobourg, Ontario at the Anglican church there. The record reads: "Record from the Anglican Church in Cobourg. It reads: This day, June 11th 1832 were married by licence Isaiah Toole of the Township of Darlington and Elizabeth Hall of the township of Hope, by me A.N. Bethune (signature). Both signed their own names." In 1838 Isiah served in the Durham militia and in Dec 1848 he was one of the founding members of the Jerusalem Freemason Lodge in Bowmanville. He was elected as the First Worshipful Master of the Jerusalem Lodge in 1849. Isaiah lived on farms in the Bowmanville and Enniskillen area of Durham from shortly after his marriage until his death. Isaiah died at the home of his son Levi on 8 Mar 1884. His wife has died prior to him on 7 May 1866. His funeral was held on 16 Mar 1884 based on the following record from the Canadian statesman dated 21 Mar 1884. "In consequence of the late Isaiah Tole's funeral sermon being held last Sabbath evening, Rev. G. W. Stevenson's sermon on "The Glory of Age and the Honor due to it," will be preached next Sabbath evening. On Sabbath evening last Rev. W. R. Barker preached a funeral sermon in memory of the late Isaiah Tole to an overcrowded house. The service for the evening in the M. E. Church was withdrawn." As well as the following record from the Canisteo NY Times 1883-1886 - 0259 "The following obituary notice of Isaiah Tole is taken from the Bowmanville Statesman, published in Ontario. The gentleman referred to was an own uncle to Mrs. David Hepinstall and Mr. James S. Hall, of Canisteo: On Saturday last Isaiah Tole died at the residence of his son Levi, in Enniskillen, in the 95th year of his age. Death was hastened by an accident he sustained a short time ago by falling on the ice. His funeral took place here on Monday under the auspices of the Masons, and was very largely attended. Deceased was one of the first settlers in this township, having been a resident for about 57 years; he was very upright and straight-forward in all his transactions with his fellowmen. He had been a member of the Masonic order for over 72 years, had taken 31 degrees and was the first Master of Bowmanville lodge. He was a member of the church of England. He leaves behind him two sons and four daughters all settled but one in different portions of Ontario, one daughter and her husband residing in Michigan. Mr. Tole was probably the oldest Freemason in Canada. Rev. W. R. Barker will preach his funeral sermon next Sunday evening in the C. M. church."
