jrankin wrote and asked about Mary Tryon. Wes Tryon wrote: "She was the fifth daughter of David Tryon and Susan Bevin Tryon, was born at Middletown, Conn, July 15, 1745. She married John P. Kentner, of Middletown, June 2, 1774. He was born in 1757? and died in 1836. There were six children: Arnive Kentner, John Peter Kentner, Jeremiah Kentner, David Kentner, Olive Kentner and Amos Kentner." The Tryon line from David Tryon to this day is well documented in Wes Tryon's book "The Tryon Family in America" which I published in 1984. It is still available for $25 plus $5 S&H if checks are sent to me at 474 E.Crystal Downs Dr., in Frankfort, MI 49635. Hope this information will be helpful. Richard Tryon
