Notes:

Though the Tobler almanacs issued after his death in 1765 have been attributed to his son John, the publisher's preface to the South Carolina and Georgia almanack for 1764 (Savannah) states that Tober's calculations had then been completed for publication up to 1800. The later almanacs contain no indication that John Tobler Jr. is the author.
