HANOVER COUNTY
1720 David Tyree and Michael Satterwhite, young tithers from Half Sink, a plantation in New Kent County, St. PaulÕs Parish, were called to clear roads in York County. Their families were said to have moved at the same time to Hanover County; several Tyree sons were to bear the given name of Satterwhite over the years. In 1731, David Òa weaver of Winston Mill SwampÓ bought land in Hanover County, St. PaulÕs Parish, known as GrahamÕs, on south side of Totoponomy River, next to Winston Mill Swamp. In 1732 David bought from Henry Stokes the fork between the Chickahominy and Upham Brook; the 1036A had been sold to Henry 4-23-1681 by Mrs. Francis Izard. In 1734 David Tyree, ÒfatherÓ, was witness to land sale to Richard Tyree, St. Paul's Parish. Aug. 1, 1747 David Tyree bought 200A in Henrico County from Henry Stokes on north side of Upham Brook, a branch of the Chickahominy Swamp. In 1763 DavidÕs widow, Elizabeth, was given pmt. for support of her son; she also processed land in 1764.
Richard Tyree of James City County with his wife Mary bought 200A in Hanover County, St. PeterÕs Parish in 1734. On Jan. 4, 1734 Richard Tyree of St. PeterÕs Parish, New Kent County, took land sold by Samuel (X) Ruther of St. PaulÕs Parish, precinct #5, James City Co. In 1734 Daniel Tyree was witness on land sale to Richard Tyree, St. PaulÕs Parish (witness a brother? more likely an uncle? -- but does the use of the name Daniel Tyree suggest a relationship with the Daniel Tyree imported to Charles City County by Major Abraham Wood in 1663? -- see Chap. II, p. 5). On 9-10-1755 Richard Tyree took 509A, 225 of them formerly granted Thomas Rolfe, 204 never before granted.
James Tyree b. c. 1725 Henrico, bought, Aug. 3, 1752, 113A on branches of Chickahominy Swamp from David Whitlock, adjacent to his fatherÕs 200A. James sold his share of 113A inheritance to his bro., William of Henrico County, Aug. 31, 1767 and moved to Blissland Parish. The 1767 sale was witnessed by Izard Bacon and N. Wilkinson. Some years later (1797) Jones Tyree made deposition (answering questions about the boundary of subject property) that he lived with Izard Bacon 1790-1791 and said he remembered a marked oak no longer standing.
Francis Tyree was listed 1787 Blissland Parish as son of James; he. died in 1809 Blissland Parish (see New Kent County).
William Tyree bought 113A from David Whitlock, being 1/4 of 454A that David Whitlock had purchased from Wm. Bacon. William inherited his fatherÕs 200A, which he sold (his wife Elizabeth releasing her dower) Oct. 2, 1752 to Edmond Bosman. Oct. 2, 1752 Elizabeth Tyree, wife of William, relinquished her right to dower on 200A in Henrico County on north side of Upham Brook.
1725 Benjamin Tyre of Blissland Parish, Hanover Co., contracted to teach James Curnute to knit and weave Ò@ 400 of tobb per yeareÓ. The venture was unsuccessful, Benjamin kept James Curnut for only two months, for which he received 67 (?tobb). He later served his parish by keeping children (one at a time) in his home: 2 were Robert and Lucy, orphans of Sarah Tyrie.
David Tyree in 1784 transfers 200A to his daughter-in-law, Sarah Richardson, land
left her by her father, John Richardson who died in Cumberland County in 1753. In
1784 David TyreeÕs will leaves land to sons Samuel (who sells to his share to his
brother Benjamin) and Benjamin. Nov. 7, 1785 Henrico County: David Whitlock,
executor of Benjamin Tyree, decÕd, agst. John Bowles and Charles Britton debt;
Benjamin Bowles undertakes for debts. May 4, 1786 legal pleas are withdrawn; to be
discharged by pmt. of 103 pounds 10 shillings with interest from Jan. 16, 1785.
Samuel Tyree sold his inherited land to bro. Benjamin.
Benjamin Tyree, m. Sarah 1763; in 1763 Benjamin Tyree was placed in St. PaulÕs
Precinct #17. In 1784 Benjamin and wife Sarah bought 128A called GrahamÕs on
s. Side of Totoponomy Creek from James Anthony (this cross family purchase of
GrahamÕs seems to verify the family relationships). 1786 Benjamin TyreeÕs will
leaves 15 negroes and land on Totoponomy Creek to his wife Sarah Richardson
Tyree, dau. of John Richardson. In 1787 John Richardson, executor to Benjamin
Tyree, sold 128A in Hanover to Bobby Winston (of the adjacent neighboring
family under DavidÕs early purchase of 1731). Sarah went West with some of her
children and died 1813 in Scott County, Kentucky.
The above identified pieces of land are well inland into todayÕs Chickahominy
swamps. Our immigrant William Tyree inherited his grandfatherÕs land (some of
which is swamp today) lower down on the Chickahominy River (is there a logical
connection between Scottish weavers and swamps?).
