He is the eldest son of Caleb TRYON and Catherine FRYE of North Crosby and, almost surely, the grandson of Lucas TRYON of Middletown, Middlesex, CT who is a 5th generation descendant of William TRYON (of Wethersfield. CT and Bibury, Gloucs, Eng.) and Mary STEELE and, maternally, of John BIRDSEY and Elizabeth HARRIS. > They had at least two children: > James b about 1869 > Victoria Adelaide b 18 Oct 1871 m 25 Sept 1892 Charles Edgar McGUIRE > b > 24 Apr 1871. These are my wife's ggrandparents. I have 5 more children recorded from the 1871 and '81 censuses of North Crosby. One of them, Charles E. ended up in Saskatoon as a newspaperman and a younger brother brother, G. Fred(erick) went as far as Calgary where he died and was brought back to Saskatoon for burial from the home of his brother. Maxwell Tryon, descendant of another brother, lives in Saskatoon, but I have not yet contacted him (sort of waiting in case some Westerner wanted to be first<g> Ann??). I have on-line friends who have just sold their condo in Kingston and, as part of their retirement travel plans, are moving next to Saskatoon. To help introduce her to research in Saskatoon <g>, I've asked her to look into Charles's family. > Is this any assistance. Yes, you just filled in a few critical blanks. Everything will help to flesh out the family. There is a TRYON Family discussion group which is somewhat??<g> preoccupied with the American Family (really because most of us came to wherever through the States), but, at least one major contributor has direct links to Quebec TRYONs and NS WOODS. My gf Edric Milbury (see my sig below) cam directly from Portland, ME to Montreal. Dan Brevik is preparing to publish a web page of The TRYON Union. He is using The Master Genealogist (TMG) for Windows 3.0 into GED2HTML and running into hickups because of the size, quantity and complexity of TMG files. Your wife has two cousins on the list, descended through George's half-brothers, who have provided much of the data gathered on Caleb's descendants and I am cc'ing them with this message. They are Anne Margerison of BC and Raymond Tryon of Utica, NY. At present, I am co-ord for the gathering of Canadian lines--except for Pam Wood Waugh's QC family--and forwarding data to Dan. I have the data on the family in the following formats: 1) GEDCOM from Personal Ancestral File(PAF) 2.31 (LDS Church program); 2) Descendancy chart of line from William of Wethersfield in Word Perf for Win 6.1 and other Tryons whose lineage has been resident in Ontario; and, of course, 3) The data files in PAF 2.31 format. We make extensive use of WinZIP/PKZip to transfer data on-line and are able to accept most WP, Family Tree Maker (DOS/WIN), Brother's Keeper and a few other's files. I have ordered PAF3.0/DOS as an improvement on 2.31 and the price is very right (US$15 + 2). Thank you for your message and I'm looking forward to introducing another cousin to the Family. > We have access to the B/M/D records of Ontario here in Edmonton from > 1869 > to the early 1900's I'll let you guage your input after or if you wish to examine the data on file.
