Got your letter a couple of days ago, this is great. I have other siblings to check out. While checking out Peter of Randolph Co, MO, I checked the Randolph Co. will book - he isn't listed there, so either he died intestate or his will is elsewhere. Any ideas? You mention that the Benjamin Tryon who married Susannah Palmer is really a second marraige for both. Are we referring to the Benjamin whose first wife was Magtel? It would explain a lot. Have you seen any indication that there is a connection to CT? Dennis said something to me once about one of the Greene Co, NY people saying his ancestors were from CT, despite what the Greene Co. NY history says.

I have posted your mail on the TRYON-L mail list, | and have forwarded | to to Vicki and Don as well. | | Welcome! | | Dan |
