Palmers appear in the Dutchess county area. Quakers, I think. I believe Pam ran into a batch of them, because we compared notes about them when I first found Susannah. No direct connections, as I remember. Dan

Susannah (Parks) Palmer was born 1779 and she married Benjamin Tryon May 11, 1800. John S. Palmer married Benjamin's niece, Catherine Tryon. Catherine was a dau of Benjamin's brother Peter and a sister to Benjamin Peter Tryon of Mendon, MI. Palmers show up early in MI history and I am wondering if they were worth following. Vicki

Let me see if I get this straight Benjamin Tryon b. c. 1745 m1 Magtel Van Slack/Schiack in 1771 and m2 Susanna (Parks) Palmer in 1800. Children for marraige 1 - Elizabeth, Stephen, Rebecca, Benjamin and Peter D. Marraige 2 - Lydia. Since Susannah was of child bearing age for at least 20 or so years after Lydia's birth, is it possible they had more children and that they could be some of the "orphan" Tryon's we are tracking? Magtel's grave not being in any of the usual places also concerns me. Any ideas on that, anyone? Vicki

Got your letter a couple of days ago, this is great. I have other siblings to check out. While checking out Peter of Randolph Co, MO, I checked the Randolph Co. will book - he isn't listed there, so either he died intestate or his will is elsewhere. Any ideas? You mention that the Benjamin Tryon who married Susannah Palmer is really a second marraige for both. Are we referring to the Benjamin whose first wife was Magtel? It would explain a lot. Have you seen any indication that there is a connection to CT? Dennis said something to me once about one of the Greene Co, NY people saying his ancestors were from CT, despite what the Greene Co. NY history says.

That makes sense, especially since one of the Tryon - Lewis marraiges seems to be out of Ziba's line - David Tryon, married to Elizabeth Lewis in 1783 in Ashfield, Franklin Co, Mass. She was the dau of Timothy and Sarah Lewis.

Right about now, I'd settle for proving Adelia's relationship to Sally, Benjamin and Peter of MI. The age difference is so large, I sometimes think that she is a dau of an undocumented son of Benjamin Peter. At one point, I even thought about the William Tryon who died in 1833 in Madison Co. NY, since that is where Calvin Lewis resided until about 1835 or so. He had a dau 0-5 in the census. Remember, the only proven fact I have about Adelia is that her wedding was witnessed by Benjamin Tryon. Madison Co. William did not leave a will, at least not in Madison Co. NY, Zebina is the only one there, nor in Onondaga Co. NY. I haven't checked Chenango or Chatauqua Co. yet. Do you know if anybody has been able to identify the parents of Frances Losey or Sarah Ann Stephens? Finding out that Granison Losey adopted one of Adelia's grand daughters, her namesake Adelia Chaffee, and his neighbors at the time were Morgan Lewis (Calvin's brother) and a Stephens, 1st name unreadible, made chills go up and down my spine when I finally thought about it. All lines allied with the Coxsackie group.

You're off by one gen, but then, I wasn't too clear. I am talking about the father of Benjamin Peter Tryon of St. Joseph Co. MI, who was named Peter, and his brother Benjamin. That Benjamin was christened in 1745 in Coxsackie. Their mother was an Elizabeth, last name unknown from my notes.

I sent the group all the info from the land records CD. Hopefully, it will show up in the Tryon union soon. Did you see my letter on the Morgan Lewis connection to Granison Losey? They were in Hinton TWP, which I guess is Mecosta Co, in 1880. Any thoughts on connections to the Losey and Steven's families being nearby? Tryon's of Greene Co. NY married into those families, too, assuming Sally is from that group. Vicki ---------- | From: Lionel C.

Hi Rollie: Thanks for the information. It belongs with Dan Brevik who will get it right in the new data base. I suspect that the typo that you found may have been introduced not by Wes, but by my sister when she keyed the second addition from his manuscript. Someday we can expect someone to revisit his manuscript to proof it against the new data base. Who knows what that will achieve? Glad the second addition helped you. Regards, Dick

Hi Jon: Sounds like, or better said, looks like Wes Tryon made a profound error in the second generation of William T's. Sorry about that! I am sure that our new data base that Dan Brevik is building will be able to repair this problem. It is interesting to me to note that Wes was very careful about making sure of his facts before he published! As a 31 year government typesetter in the GPO, Wes was pretty meticulous. I hope others do not find any similar errors that go so far back into the basic branches of the tree! Glad to know from Dan's note that Wes did get some of the error out in the second edition. He must have been mad at himself for not having it right the first time! If he were still alive, he would be even more perturbed on the second edition unless he decided to go with his best guess. Not like him. Thanks for your help. Regards, Dick

If I lived in a world where it was survival of the fittest, I don't think I would make it till breakfast. Adelia Chaffee, dau of William Henry and Jane (Edgcomb) Chaffee was adopted by Granison Losey/Losea, right. In the 1880 census, Granison's neighbors are Morgan Lewis and a Stephens, right? I didn't catch it, until I remembered that Stephens was an alternate spelling for Stevens. What we might be looking at is more relatives of the Greene Co. NY group of Tryon's!!!. Morgan Lewis is a brother to the Calvin Lewis who married Sally Tryon, a possible dau of Benjamin Peter Tryon. (The Benjamin Tryon of Allegan Co. is identified as her brother and Dan/Don are pretty convinced that the Benjamin Peter is his father). Another of Benjamin Peter's son was named Peter. He married Sarah Stevens. He was in MI for a while, if I'm not mistaken, because the MI IGI lists a child for the family in MI. We can kind of guess that he was still connected to the Lewis's - he named one of his sons Lewis Tryon. You know how I also was mentioning a Jones connection possibly in St. Joseph Co. MI. Guess who one of Peter's children married? Three guess's and the first two don't count>>>> Vicki

Jon- Thank you for your welcome comments. You have introduced some new material that may clear up a mystery or two. > > There were several William Tryons born in Connecticut in the mid 1700's that > Wesley Tryon confused in his "Tryon Family in America." Correct. However, you appear to be referring to Edition 1. Wes did publish an expanded version (Edition 2) which corrected some, but not all errors. Let me try to bring you up to date and then see where your new material fits in. > > I discovered the errors when trying to identify the parents of my 4th great > grandfather, William Tryon, the father of Anna Tryon, who died in 1821 in > Farmington, CT.

Father. TRYON, William, died Nov. 17, 1832, age 46 yrs. TRYON, Rowena, wife of William, died Aug. 6, 1865, age 77 yrs. TRYON, Margaret J., daughter of Oswell & Betsey Ann, died Sept. 27, 1851, age 9 yrs. TRYON, Jasper, son of Oswell & Betsey Ann., died June 5, 1833, age 10 mos. TRYON, Oswell, died July 29, 1850, age 41 yrs. TRYON, Betsey Ann, wife of Oswell, died Jan. 31, 1896, age 86 yrs. This is William (ca 1752-1825) and one of his sons, William (1786-1832). Oswell is son of the second Wm. There is no evidence of Anna (Hurlbut). This is the William we agree is son of Thomas.

There were several William Tryons born in Connecticut in the mid 1700's that Wesley Tryon confused in his "Tryon Family in America." I discovered the errors when trying to identify the parents of my 4th great grandfather, William Tryon, the father of Anna Tryon, who died in 1821 in Farmington, CT. THe first problem with the Tryon geneaolgy is that there in no information on the descendants of Thomas, the fourth son of the first William Tryon and his wife Mary Steele. There is a manuscript in the library of the Connecticut Historical Society that shows that Thomas had two sons, Thomas and William. Son Thomas m. Abigail and d. 1749. His children are Thomas b. Jan. 23, 1727/8, Timothy b. Aug. 2, 1729, Abel b. Jan 19, 1734/5, and Eliud b. Jan 28, 1740/41. Abel chose Lt. Josiah Robinson of Wethersfied as guardian in 1748. Son William m. Phbe and lived in Glastonbury. He was still alive in 1798. His children are William, Jemina, Charles, Ezekiel, Michael, Thomas, Mary, and Phebe. William was b. abt 1752 and died at age 73 on August 31, 1825 in Glastonbury. This is the William that Wesley Tryon confuses with my William. The Glastonbury William did not marry Anna Hurlbut on May 9, 1784. According to a Bidwell genealogy, he married Sarah Bidwell May 11, 1777. There children are Sally b. abt 1780, Jesse, b. 1783, William, Jr. b. 1786, Prudence b. 1788 and Isaac b. 1791. My William is the son on Benjamin and Rebecca Hurlbut. He was born in Wethersfied Sept. 3, 1752. He served throughout the Rev. War period before finally getting married and settling in Farmington. His children are Sally b. 1780, Anna b.1788, Prudence, and William. The genaelogy also says that Willam, the son of Abiel and Hannah Northway, b. March 12, 1747/48 m. Sarah Bidwell. This must also be an error. This message is simply an attempt to correct possible errors in the record of the Tryons. Any comments would be much appreciated. Now, I still don't know who the parents of Anna Hurlburt are. She is not in the Hurlbut genaelogy. Jon Harden
