history

The sex starts his secure and uninterrupted regular series with Lucas Toll, whose mother after Wittenberg had fled and 1544 at the Leucorea studied, finally Magnus von Holstein as its firm-Junker after Oesel came in 1560 with ibid Medel. Belehnt was. The thesis of Klingspor that it concerns a genuinely aristocratic family from Holland related to the Brederode is considered unproven. More probable, albeit also unproven, is an earlier presence on Oesel, where namesake Tolle , Tülle or Tule have been documented since the 14th century.

The descent of the above Lucas Toll zu Medel, who had been an episcopal land clerk since 1554 , was divided into numerous lines.

From the Arromois line, the Swedish major Carl Friedrich von Toll († 1741) received the Swedish nobility naturalization in 1723 with introduction to the aristocratic class at the knight's house (no. 1777). The aforementioned grandson, the Swedish lieutenant colonel and heir to Etola Carl Friedrich von Toll (1766-1837), was enrolled in the nobility class of the Finnish knighthood in 1818 (No. 113). The line died out in the male line in 1871 .

From the Kusenöm line, the Swedish major and heir to Aminne, Olsböle and Kourla became Carl Friedrich von Toll (1718–1784), together with his cousins, the brothers Erik Ludwig von Toll, Swedish staff officer, Carl Gustav von Toll (1741–1817), Swedish lieutenant and Johann Christopher von Toll (1743–1817), Swedish chief hunter and later lieutenant general . Introduced to the nobility class of the Swedish knighthood in 1772 (No. 2078). Last Named was in the Swedish 1799 baron lifted and 1800 when the baron class of chivalry introduces (no. 314), still in the Swedish 1814 count conditions raised and in 1815 at the Count class of chivalry introduces (no. 127). The Swedish major, chamberlain and chief adjutant of King Philipp Adam von Toll (1782–1865), son of the aforementioned Carl Gustav von Toll, was promoted to the Swedish baron status in 1813 and introduced to the baron class of knighthood (No. 314 B).

In October 1855 the entire family with Senatsukas (No. 7867) received the Russian recognition for the use of the baron title . As a result, for the brothers, also belonging to the line Kusenöm, the Prussian captain a. D. and Oldenburg Chamberlain Ernst von Toll and the Prussian lieutenant in Dragoon Regiment No. 19 , later Major General Hans von Toll (* 1859) in Berlin through the highest cabinet order in 1873 the Prussian approval to use the title of baron. The former also received the Oldenburg recognition in the same year.

From the Medel line, the heir to Alt Harm and Habbat Christoffer Friedrich von Toll, along with his nephew, the Russian lieutenant and heir to Wissust and Tilsit, was enrolled in the Estonian knighthood in 1746 , the latter also enrolled in the Livonian knighthood in 1747 . Already in 1741 Ebbe Ludwig von Toll, heir to Arromois and Paunküll, was enrolled with the Oesel Knighthood and also in 1746 with the Estonian Knighthood.

The descendants of the brothers Georg von Toll († 1731), heir to Karky and Wesselsdorf and Friedrich von Toll († 1720), heir to Karrinöm and Wattel were also enrolled in 1741 and 1746 with the Oesel and Estonian knights. The Russian general Karl Wilhelm von Toll (1777–1842), who belonged to the Wesselsdorf line, was promoted to the status of Austrian baron in Schönbrunn in 1814 . In 1829 he was promoted to the rank of Russian count. Tolstoy had set a literary monument to him in his main work War and Peace .

One line of the sex emigrated to Argentina .

Friederike Luise Schwarzlose (1827-1897), adopted daughter of Ludwig Ernst Philipp von Toll (1775-1851), was raised to the Prussian nobility in September 1846 with the addition of the Toll name and coat of arms. She married the Prussian major Leopold von Versen (1791–1868) in October 1846 .
