I have compiled a timeline for Richard TOOMEY/TUMMY from information on this site, FamilySearch and Ancestry. The Richard TUMMY mentioned as a father in 1773/1774 seems to be the best candidate for the one committed in 1785 since he had a son of an age where it is possible he was also committed. I also wonder if he was the Richard TUMMY who married Hannah MASON in 1783 – there is an intriguing 6/7-year gap before any recorded children. Or perhaps there were three Richard TOOMEYs at this time?
