I see they spent most of their lives in Fannin Co, GA, though on some census records Tyrus states he was born in NC.He apparently used the name Tyrus in some census records and Smith in others
In 1930 he and Martha were in McCaysville, Fannin, GA
In 1920 they were in Fairplay, Fannin, GA
In 1910 they were in Flint Hill, Fannin, GA with children:Hattie, 22, Thomas, 20, Josie, 18, Julia, 16, Martha, 14, and Elmer, 12.
In 1900, Fairplay, Fannin Co, GA:
FORTNER, Smitt b. Sept 1854 in GA, married 21 yrs, both parents b. NC
wife Martha b. June 1855 in GA, 11 children born, 11 children living, both parents b. VA
dau Larra D. b. Nov 1877

dau Retta J. b. Sept 1881

There are three TARPLEY families on the same census page.
In 1880 they were also in Fairplay with the two oldest children.
Are you looking to trace Tyrus back to his parents, grandparents, etc, or are you looking for information about his children, grandchildren etc?
This appears to be him in the 1870 census for Fairplay, Fannin, GA:
FORTNER, Anna age 55 b. NC
Thomas age 20 b. NC
Smith age 15 b. NC
A few households away is a John FORTNER, 28, Nancy, 25, and children:Smith, 5, Henry, 3 and Mary 9/12.
1860 census for Fannin Co, GA:
FORTNER, Wm. R. age 44 b. NC
Anna age 48 b. NC
Levi age 21 b. NC
John age 19 b. NC
William age 18 b. NC
Elijah age 15 b. NC
Rosanna N. age 12 b. NC
Sarah M. age 10 b. NC
Thomas E. age 8 b. NC
Tyrus S. age 6 b. NC
I believe this is the same family in Haywood Co, NC in 1850:
FORTONER, William R. age 34 b. NC
Anny age 39 b. NC
Joshuway age 13 b. NC
Levi age 12 b. NC
