William Tolle, son of Diana (Benham) and William Tolle, was born 22 Jan 1813, probably in Amherst County, Virginia. (There are discrepancies about his birth date, and each record is a little bit different showing this date as anywhere from 1809 to 1850.)

He married Phoebe Thomas in Mason County, Kentucky, on 21 Jun 1834. Phoebe, born 6 Feb 1815, was the daughter of Margaret (Metts or Highfield) and Nathan Thomas.

William was the grantor in a deed of Mason County, Kentucky in 1841. He appeared on the 1840 census of Parke County, Indiana. He was in Howard County, Indiana in 1850. By 1860 he had moved to Grundy County, Missouri, and was still there in 1870. There are deeds in his name in Grundy County. Sometime after 1870 he moved again, this time to Clay County, Nebraska. He was on the 1880 census there, and also on the 1885 State census.

William died 13 Mar 1891 in North Platte, Nebraska at the home of his daughter Sarah Jane Prall. His obituary says he was 78 years old, yet his tombstone says he was 82 years, 2 months, and 20 days at death. He and Phoebe are buried in the Eller Cemetery in Clay Center, Clay County, Nebraska. It is now an abandoned cemetery.
