I can give you some information, Martha. Your grandfather was Hubert D (Hubie) Tyree. His parents were John Sam Tyree and Martha J Deweese. Hubie and Mary "Florence" Thomas were married in 1905 and moved to Barren county. The 1810 Barren Co census gives 3 children for Hubie and Florence. The other two came later. The oldest is Cecil P Tyree. This must be the one you call Paul. Your father is listed as Freman T Tyree, so I infer that Travis was actually his middle name. The third child is Thelma O Tyree. Florence and Jasper Eakle are listed in the 1920 Monroe Co census and there are two daughters that appear to have been children of Florence and Hubie. They are listed as Marie and Jean. Marie is indeed one of the names that you gave in your note, but the other you gave was Jesse. Could Jesse be Jean ? Below is a descendancy chart for John Sam Tyree and Martha Deweese. I can take it back one more generation (more or less) but it is a bit complicated and I will leave it alone for now. Following this chart I will talk about the Thomas family. ===================================================================== Descendants of John Sam Tyree 1 John Sam Tyree b: c1861 Monroe Co,KY d: 1947 b: Bethlehem Cem,Mud Lick area,Monroe Co,KY + Martha J Deweese b: September 1862 TN m: August 01,1882 Monroe Co,KY d: May 18,1950 Monroe Co,KY b: Bethlehem Cem,Mud Lick area,Monroe Co,KY 2 Hubert D (Hubie) Tyree b: September 14,1883 Monroe Co,KY + Mary "Florence" Thomas b: August 01,1887 Monroe Co,KY m: March 19,1905 Monroe Co,KY d: April 19,1948 Monroe Co,KY b: Bethlehem Cem,Mud Lick area,Monroe Co,KY Father: Joseph M Thomas Mother: Martha L Fitzgeralds 3 Cecil P Tyree b: c1906 KY 3 Freman "Travis" Tyree b: c1908 KY + Elsie Reecer b: September 25,1908 TN m: Bef. 1928 d: May 09,1933 Monroe Co,KY b: Beech Grove Cem,Monroe Co,KY Father: Walter Reecer Mother: Maudie Moss 4 Nelda "Jaunita" Tyree b: July 18,1928 d: May 09,1933 Monroe Co,KY b: Beech Grove Cem,Monroe Co,KY 4 Travis Tyree Jr b: August 07,1930 d: May 09,1933 Monroe Co,KY b: Beech Grove Cem,Monroe Co,KY 4 Martha Rose Tyree b: 1932 Monroe Co,KY 3 Thelma O Tyree b: c1910 Barren Co,KY 2 Thomas J Tyree b: October 18,1885 Monroe Co,KY d: April 09, 1973 b: Glasgow Memorial Gardens Cem,Glasgow,Barren Co,KY 2 Cora E Tyree b: December 20,1887 Monroe Co,KY 2 Allen "Dempsey" Tyree b: February 12,1890 Monroe Co,KY d: May 01,1959 Monroe Co,KY b: Bethlehem Cem,Mud Lick area, Monroe Co,KY + Mary L Russell b: January 25,1889 Monroe Co,KY d: May 14, 1972 Barren Co,KY b: Bethlehem Cem,Mud Lick area,Monroe,KY 2 Mattie D Tyree b: February 01,1892 Monroe Co,KY ====================================================================== Allen Thomas was the first of your line to be in Monroe Co. He and his wife, Sythia Phelps, were born and married in Virginia and came to Monroe Co sometime in the 1830s. One of their sons, Joseph M Thomas, married Martha Fitzgerald (possibly a daughter of Aiken Fitzgerald) in 1872. Their last child was your grandmother Mary "Florence" Thomas, born in 1887. She was about 18 when she married Hubie Tyree.
