Surnames: Brand, Butts, Tyson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GUB.2ACE/479.2 Message Board Post: Allen: Saw your posting on NCGREENE and wondered if the Penny Brand is in the same family as the second wife of William M. Tyson. Her name was Amanda Brand. I have tried for a long time to find the parents of Wm M. Tyson, born 1835. Wm Tyson married 1st Sarah ___, 2nd Amanda Brand and 3rd, Mary Jane Butts. On his death certificate, his parents were said to be John Tyson/Lovie Turnage and haven't found this combination in Greene/Pitt Co. either. Know anything of this family? Billie
