Hopefully I am finally getting into an area of my Tyree research where someone will be able to respond - nothing on my other queries. I have worked my way back from what I now know to be : Amanda Jane Tyree, d/o John Israel Tyree and wife Margaret "Peggy" Helton. In trying now to track the Tyree tree back to the immigrant, I hope, I see on various web-sites that John I. is the son of a Satterthwaite Tyree and Malinda Elizabeth Standiford; BUT: since it appears that most/all of the birthdates come from those WFT thingies, and not to be relied upon, I am wondering if what I found today on 1880 census is Malinda ("Belinda"), widowed, born ca 1812 in KY and with a dau of same name (Belinda), age 40, living next to John Israel Tyree, in Missouri. And is Malinda/Belinda a sister of John or his mother, having had him at a young age???? I keep switching her back and forth and really do not know where to put her.... Has anyone traced Tyree back to the immigrant - what nationality?
