Thank you Lisa, My search was successful due to your post. I am a descendant of Thomas Pinion (Pinnil), the husband of Susannah.

Sorry Ron, Thomas was her fater n law not her husband.Susannah Tyree duaghter of John and Fannie Vowell Tyree ,married Ellis Pinion Sr and Lived on Lewis Fork. Their son is My ancestor. I have proof . If you check the date ranges you will also see further proof. jlynndagenhart@netzero.net
DeleteRon, that is great! I am glad you took time to leave a comment so I know that something I did helped someone out. So, I guess we are distant cousins! That's awesome! I'll send you a note via e-mail as I am curious to know how you worked back to Susannah, daughter of John Tyree and where her family lines moved to in later times.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful web site. I descend from both Phannie and Hannah. Phannie married Joseph Wallen and Hannah married a Bowen. My Bowen is a Mullato Man. Phannie had a daughter named Hannah and Hannah had a son named Perin. Hannah and Perin married each other and had my gg Grandmother Lucinda who also is listed as a Mullato. Lucinda married George Washington Collins in 1865 in Letcher Co Ky where my Uncle Atwood Collins still lives. I guess John Tyree must have been a pretty good guy to let his daughter marry a Mullato man. lmohr@nc.rr.com.
ReplyDeleteOh what a treasure I found today! I married a descendant of John and Fanny (Vowell)Voul Tyree and am doing research so that I might leave it to our only granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteA postscript to my previous "anonymous" note! David Sr. -> Vowell-> David Jesse -> Louis
ReplyDeleteNorma Tyree wheels4070@yahoo.com
Thanks so much.
How wonderful for your granddaughter Norma! If I have it right, Vowell is David's youngest child by his second wife. I am a descendant of David's first wife. Good to "meet" you and good luck with all your research.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice reply. You and I are relations! My husband and I really enjoyed reading the will of John Tyree. Norma
To all researchers : John and Fannies Daughter Susanna was married to Ellis Pinion/Pennell Sr not Thomas check your date ranges. Also the widow Susannah Tyree Pinion /Penyun Pennell can be traced via census records after her husband Ellis' death.Thomas Pinion was Ellis's Father. Jerry Dagenhart Great Grt Grt grandson of Susaanah Tyree and Ellis Pinion./Pennell.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jerry. I too have Ellis listed as Susanna's husband!
DeleteIs this Tyree family related to the Tyrees of Amherst County Va? My gg grandfather was John Lee Tyree (wife was Sarah). So many Tyrees I haven't been able to prove who his parents were. Barb...Reynoldsburg, OH
ReplyDeleteIf you find John Lee Tyree's father please post. I am also looking for his father. John is my ggg grandfather
DeleteLisa.....is this Tyree family John & Frances, related to the Tyrees from Amherst Co, VA. my gg grandparents are John Lee Tyree & Sarah. Barb
ReplyDeleteBarb, I would not be surprised if they are related, but at this time I could not tell you if they are for sure or not, sorry!
ReplyDeleteI also am a Pinion/Tyree descendant. Thanks for this site and the info!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to link Thomas Pinion to his father, Reuben Pinion. Reuben Pinion was in the Revolutionary War. Thomas was born in 1785 to Reuben Pinion and his 1st wife, Francis Lippe. Thomas had a brother, Stokes Pinion, who was born in 1784. I am also trying to link Thomas to his brother, Stokes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteCindy, I have not done much research on the Pinion family into which Susannah Tyree married. I wish I could help but I have mostly researched her brother David's (my ancestor) lineage.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone following this blog know who John Tyree's first wife was?
ReplyDeleteThanks

My family was neighbors of the Tyree family in Wilkes Co, NC and William Colvard aka Calvert aka Colbert bought the Tyree Old Field Plantation. When he died in 1824, he gave the plantation to his son Wade Hampton Colvard.
ReplyDeleteMy family has lived with the Pinnell/Pinion (variant spellings) family for 380 years. My 7th GG Christopher Calvert and my 8th GG John Pannell/Panewell/Pinil were both born in Northamptonshire, England and were transported to Accomack Co, VA. Christopher arrived in 1636. John and Thomas Panuel arrived in 1641. My family and John Pinnell's later moved to Bute (Franklin/Warren) Co, NC in 1768. Bute Co. was once part of Granville Co, NC before it split. The Pinnell's and Colbert's still live in Franklin/Warren counties, NC.
In 1770 William Calvert/Colvard/Colbert and his family moved to Wilkes and Surry cos, NC along with his brother John Butterworth Colvard and his family.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy family has been connected with the Pinnell/Pinion (variant spellings) for over 380 years.
My 7th GG Christopher Calvert was transported from Northamptonshire, England to Accomack County, VA in 1636. In 1641, John and Thomas Pinil/Pinion/Pennell (variant spellings) arrived at Accomack Co from Northamptonshire.
In 1768 both families were in Bute (Franklin/Warren) Co, NC. The Colbert's and Pinnell's still live there after 249 years.
My 3rd GG Thomas Colvard/Colbert married Vashty Pinnell of Franklin Co, NC before 1799.
The Pinnell's also went by the surnames Penil/Pinion/Pennell in Bute (Franklin/Warren) Co., NC. Bute was once part of Granville Co, NC where the Tyree's lived.
In 1770 a branch of my Colvard family (brothers William and John Butterworth) moved to Wilkes and Surry Cos, NC. William Colvard bought Tyree Old Field Plantation and in his will of 1824, gave it to his son Wade Hampton Colvard.
