Ellen was born 7/13/816 in New York State. She died 12/13/1884 at Brush Creek (now Taylorsville) Allamakee Co, Iowa. I have very little information on the Watson Tryon family descendants. My original information came from a Harris family history compiled in 1934. Susan Louisa Tryon married Thomas Harris. She was born in China, New York, which is in the southwest corner of Wyoming County and was possibly renamed Arcade. The Tryon Family moved to Iowa after 1853 when Ira was born and before 1880. Earliest date showing any of the family in Iowa is 1866 when Addie Tryon was born to Erastus Tryon and Louisa Sweet. 1860 Allamakee Co, Waterloo Twp, Iowa, census: H. B. Tryon, age 43, farmer, b Maine; Ellen, 44, housekeeper, b New York; Erastus, 17; Mary, 15; Watson, 11; Louisa, 8; Ira 6 (children all born same place, unreadable, should be N.Y.). Also living with the family: William Suvoso (unclear, a guess), 22, farm laborer; Frederick Krumph, 34, farmer, b Martinburg (unclear, a guess); Dority Krumph, 24, housekeeper, b Wasser Damakt ???; L.N. Krumph, 2, b Iowa; William Krumph, 3/12, b Ia. 1880 Allamakee Co, Iowa, census: Ellen Tryon 64. Henry is not listed, indicating he died prior to 1880. From another source: .....An IGI posting states that a Henry Tryon married Ann Service on 22 Oct 1840 in Glen, Montgomery Co, NY. There once was a Tryon household in Montgomery Co back in 1790, but none afterwards. Surrounding counties are loaded with Tryons. 1850 census of Wyoming Co, Town of China, NY has this family (and only this family): Henry R (orB) b. 1818 NY Ellen b. 1817 NY This is the only Tryon household Watson b. 1849 NY ever in Wyoming County. Erastus b. 1842 NY Nancy b. 1843 NY Mary b. 1845 NY Listed in the 1850 census with the Henry Tryon family was George Ehle, age 7, b N.Y. I am seeking information on this family as well. Does any of this look familiar to you. Any help would be appreciated. DeLoris Jensby
