We are talking about the Peter Tryon who married Sarah Steven's, right? It seems like he had a dau b. Antrim Co. MI according to the MI IGI. Julia was her name I think. I find the Lewis Tryon really interesting. Confirmation of a connection to the Lewis family? As in the Sally Tryon who married Calvin Lewis. As she is a "proven" sister to the Benjamin Tryon of Allegan Co. MI, is that enough proof to count her among Benjamin Peter Tryon's children? I have more info on her, if you want it. I also find it very interesting that Granison LOSEE, Morgan LEWIS and a ????? Stevens all live next to each other in Hinton TWP, Newaygo Co. MI. All 3 married into the Tryon family of Greene Co. NY. (Losee adopted Adelia Chaffee, gr dau of Adelia (Tryon) Chaffee.) Vicki ---------- | From: Jdgernon@aol.com | To: vtitus@ipa.net | Subject: TRYON, Benjamin Peter | Date: Sunday, August 24, 1997 7:36 PM | | This is a belated response to your messages of Aug. 16. Peter Tryon of | Randolph, MO---you have his birth and death dates. He apparently moved to | Randolph in his last years. Previously in Henderson Twp, Knox Cty, Ohio. He | was very active in the Reformed LDS Church. His children were: Gilbert b. 22 | May 1835, Sophia, Catherine,Simon Peter b. 4 Jan 1840, John James b. 20 Apr | 1842, Lewis b. 30 Sep 1844, Clarissa b. 4 Feb 1847, Sarah Jane b. 5 May 1849. | I have marriages and dates for all of these children if you want them too. I | have a copy of Peter's obituary also. | Now, regarding Benjamin and Magtel. For sure Benjamin married twice. | He married Susannah Palmer in 1800 and Lydia was their child. I don't find | other children by the 2nd marriage but there could have been. Remember | Benjamin was 60 years old when Lydia was born. I can't recall right now how I | came up with the fact that Susannah had been previously married to a Parkes. | I think it was a case of the old light bulb coming on. It seemed logical at | the time as I rememeber and clarified some confusion. | Remember that I have anew e-mail address now ---- jgernon@AOL.com. The | old Netcom address is also good until the end of Aug, but I don't check it | very often. I'll be away from Sep 4 to Sep 23. | | Dean
