I wonder if this Henry is connected somehow to mine? Besides the Henry name - like in Henricus, he is in Wyoming Co. NY, where Sally (Tryon) Lewis in-laws removed to after Madison CO. NY. In fact, there is a Calvin Lewis in China TWP in 1840 which I think are Sally and Calvin. They removed back to NY for a brief period of time circa 1840; can't figure out why they went there, but probably stayed for birth of first child. A couple of reaches -- 1. Watson surname seems allied allied to Tryon's. (Allied to Ingrams who married Hopkins who married Tryon's.) 2. I wonder if Perry is actually Terry? Like in Drusilla's married name. Just throwing this out for argument's sake.

Ann Service on 22 Oct | 1840, in Glen, Montgomery County, NY | This is one week after your data and I suspect there's a connection. | There once was a Tryon household | in Montgomery county back in 1790, but none afterwards. Surrounding | counties are loaded with Tryons. | | The 1850 census of Wyoming Co, NY has this family (and only this family) | Henry R b. 1818 NY | Ellen b. 1817 NY | Watson b. 1849 NY | Erastus b. 1842 NY | Nancy b. 1843 NY | Mary b. 1845 NY | | but there is no mention of Susan Louisa, born 1849, instead there is | Watson who was born that year. | This is the only Tryon household ever in Wyoming county. | | There is a Henry Tryon household in the 1860 census in Chautauqua | county, near Wyoming Co, but I have | not yet collected that census information so do not know if it is the | same family. | | There is a "Sarah Louisa Tryon" b. 1849, in a Tryon household in Buffalo | 5th Ward, Erie Co, NY, in | the 1850 census. Parents seem to be Marshall Tryon and Cleora his | wife. The ancestry of this family | is pretty well established. | | I'm sorry, but at this time I have not been able to form a connection of | Henry R's family with the | rest of the Tryons, and really haven't a clue. If you have any further | info, even if just rumors, | please forward it and maybe it will provide a hint. And I certainly am | interested in receiving what | you have on Susan Louisa's descendants.
