Just read the census info - and have a couple of other thoughts. B. Maine?? was it abbreviated.... Alt spelling could place it in MI. An undotted i might be read as an E>>>> Just to touch base - Watson's are double connected to MI Tryon's. Katurah Watson, dau James and Julia (Smith) Watson of NY, married a nephew of Calvin Lewis, also named Calvin... nephew of the Calvin Lewis who married Sally Tryon. In St. Joseph Co., there is a second Watson/Lewis marraige: - A marraige for Charles G. Lewis and Sarah Watson is recorded in book D, page 282. I have the date someplace, but not right here. Katurah and Calvin married in MI, but Calvin was born in Wyoming Co. NY, where his father, William, and "Uncle" Calvin were circa 1830-35, when Calvin, the younger, was born.. The family moved between there and Madison Co. NY a lot. If they are allied, James Watson might also be a line back? What do you think?

Their | parents were Henry Tryon and Ellen Servoss/Service. 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.
