    In 1801 John Toomy was one of five Toomey men who signed the Petition for the Creation of Roane County. In 1807 he received a grant for Lot No. 4 by right of occupancy, the only lot carved out of McMahan's original gift of 25 acres for the establishment of a town to the Commissioners of the Town of Sevierville. (Grant 1265 and "The Sevierville Story 1795-1995" by Beulah D. Linn, pp. 7-8.) In 1808 he was commissioned as 1st Major, 11th Regiment of the Tennessee Militia. ("Records of Commissions and Officers in the Tennessee Militia 1796-1811" compiled by Mrs. John Trotwood Moore.) The lawsuit of John Toomey v. William Porter, begun in 1807 over a dispute of ownership of this Lot No. 4, and reaching the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1815, mentions that between 1810 and 1812 during a lengthy continuance, that John Toomey died.
