He was married three times, but the identity and parentage of his first wife have not been established. Tobias and his first wife had four children: John, Nathaniel, Sarah, and Daniel.
On December 29, 1748, at the age of forty he married his second wife, Parthenia Emley (Imlay) who was only twenty-two years of age at the time. She died on February 13, 1750, about a year later.

Three years later, Tobias married again. His third wife, a young girl of sixteen, was Maria Lefferts, the daughter of Leffert and Jannetja (Conover) Lefferts.
