Hi G:

I have a TYSON who married my great aunt, but don't have any dates or ancestors
for his.  Jerry Miach TYSON, probably born about 1880,  married Mary Lou GIST (d.
May, 1992 according to her daughter, but I think this is too late.)  They had two
daughters: Carrie Ann TYSON (11/26/1910-1997, m. William Hiram FUNDERBURK - 3 boys
& 3 girls)  and  Bessie Lou TYSON (b. 8/4/1913, in Benjamin WYNDHAM - no
children).  The families of both Carrie and Bessie lived in Williamsburg CO., near
Greeleyville.   Do you have Jerry in your files?
