Tosto BoffinThe son of Griffo BoffinThe son of Griffo Boffin and Daisy Baggins, born in the year III 2988 (or 1388 by the Shire-reckoning). Tosto was present with his parents at Bilbo's Farewell Party in III 3001. At that time he would have been just thirteen years old, and was probably among the Hobbit-children who received gifts of astonishing toys. Tosto was a descendant of Otto the Fat, a patriarch of the Boffin family who had lived some two centuries before the War of the Ring. Tosto traced his descent from Otto's second son Uffo (who was Tosto's great-grandfather), so his family were important among the Boffins, but not on the direct line of the family's headship. As such, they likely lived within the Boffin folkland of the Yale in the Shire's Eastfarthing. Tosto's mother Daisy Baggins was a close relative of Frodo Baggins (her father Dudo being the younger brother of Frodo's father Drogo, and thus Frodo's uncle). Tosto Boffin was therefore also a close relation to Frodo, formally being his first cousin, once removed. Notes
