Mona Saw your post on the Johnson list. My great grandmother was Charlotte Johnson married to George Alvis Florance. But, I was interested in your line of Tyree. We are at a brick wall with my husbands great grandfather George Washington Snider. He was born ca 1844 I think in Indiana. And, also lived in Missouri and Kansas. We do have a letter from his sister Lydia Tyree who was living around Nevada, Missouri. We know that his mother Matilda married a Jonah Ruberson and that he supposedly had a half brother by the Joe Ruberson. We suspect that George was the son of Matilda as he was born in 1844 and she married Jonah in 1848. One record showed that another lady, cant remember the name right now was his mother. This would have made Matilda his step mother. We do know from the letter that Lydia had a son by the name of I. V. George also had a son by that name, but he later changed his name to Jack for some reason. Jack was my husbands grandfather. We suspect that I.V. must have been a family name. Also my mothers maiden name was Montgomery. The family lived in Franklin County, Virginia, where they were members of the Old German Baptist church. Her branch later moved to Kansas. If any of this connects with you would love to share information. Nadine in Kansas
