Taffelmeyers/Tofflemires Here and There, With Associated Families, Peggy (Bone) Colella, 1979.

From the Tofflemire book:
John Jacob was apparently known as John, maybe to distinguish Him from his father. The Draper Manuscripts say he had one arm but it has not been determined how he lost it. He fought in the war of 1812 but according to his service record he was not wounded.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 448-449:
Edgar J. Tofflemire is a well-to-do farmer in the town of Colchester South, County of Essex. He is not only a respected citizen of the community because of his own merits, but also as a descendant of a family whose ancestry in Essex ranks with the oldest.
     The first representative of the Tofflemire family in the County of Essex was Charles Tofflemire, a native of Germany, who crossed the Atlantic when a young man. His first location was in Pennsylvania, and he went thence to Kentucky, where he and his family were captured by Indians. They were taken to Detroit, where they were ransomed. Charles Tofflemire subsequently brought his family to Canada, and they located in Gosfield township, County of Essex, on the place on the lake shore now known as the Jacob Wigle farm, which tract Mr. Tofflemire received from the Government. There he passed the remainder of his life, and he is buried in the place. He had three sons, William, Charles and Jacob.
     Jacob Tofflemire, great-grandfather of Edgar J., was born in Pennsylvania, and grew to manhood in Gosfield township. When he took up agricultural pursuits on his own accounts he settled on a farm at Olinda, and there he passed the remainder of his long life, dying at the age of ninety. He engaged in farming on an extensive scale, and was quite prosperous. Jacob Tofflemire married Ruth Jacobs, and they became the parents of five children: Abram, the eldest, was taken prisoner by the Indians, and never settled down after his escape; Henry lived on part of the homestead; John lived for a time on part of the homestead, and later moved to Kingsville, Ont.; Charles became the grandfather of Edgar J.; Susan married Archibald Brown, of Gosfield.
