Toncray, Silas Tracy

Silas Toncray was a Baptist minister and jeweler. He was born in Williamsport, Maryland in 1795 and grew up in Kentucky where he was apprenticed in silver smithing. His sister, Maria Toncray Watkins, begged him to join her in Little Rock where, according to her, "there is no religion." Isaac Watkins was Toncray's brother-in-law. His sister Maria's (Isaac's wife) writings are some of the few that have survived from territorial Arkansas. He and his wife Orpha moved there in 1824 and organized a church at Third Street between Main & Scott Streets (Pope, p._ ). He also helped create the Little Rock Association, the first association of independent Baptist congregations in the state. See the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture for more information about the early religious activity in Territorial Arkansas. Toncray was one of the best known silversmiths of Arkansas in the era of 1819 through 1870. Click here to see a picture of Silas Toncray's silverware mark. He apparently created several silver pieces for the trousseau of his niece Jane Eliza Mills who married William E. Woodruff in 1827. (Historic Arkansas Museum, The Legacy of Silver: Silver from the Permanent Collection). Click here to see a picture of a lovely tablespoon made by Toncray between 1824 and 1829. (www.memphishistory.com) After traveling to Memphis in 1829 to settle the affairs of his deceased brother, Daniel, Silas and Orpha decided to remain there and opened a silversmith shop. While living in Memphis, he also established a new church on Main Street where he preached mainly to local blacks. (www.memphishistory.com) According to a source, the church continued under the black congregation after Toncray's death in 1847, but whites forced the church to close in late 1856, the year that a race riot hit Nashville and a rear of slave rebellion swept that region. (Tennessee State University Digital Library).
