Toohey Family

The Toohey family who lived along the Roman Line were enemies of the Donnellys. James Toohey hid Margaret Thompson from William Donnelly on the night that Will attempted to abduct her. James fought with Keefe, a friend of the Donnellys, over the incident. James joined the Vigilance Society, was present when the Society searched the Donnelly homestead for Thompson’s missing cow, and he allegedly took part in the mob that murdered the Donnellys.
