Dear Sharon:Thanks for your reply.I haven't done much on this line lately, but I was interested to see you were looking in Charles City County.As you probably know, the progenitor Richard TYE was from there.Once again, I think there's a lot of misinformation regarding Richard.I have NEVER found any documented proof that his wife was Ursula, and in fact, his wife at the time that his children were supposedly born I can prove was NOT named Ursula.Here's what I have:
I.Capt. Richard TYE b. <1623?>; d. 1658/1659 acc. to Charles City County Court records.He m. Joyce (___) Boyce, widow of Cheney Boyce (Boys)in 1644 acc. to Charles City County Court Records.She married 2) John COGGIN/COGAN in 1659.
By 1663, the Charles City Court records show that John COGGAN was disposing of property of Capt. Richard Tye "for the estate and education of the Orphands of Capt. Richard Tye," so they were definitely still minors in 1663.Unfortunately the records don't give a list of the names of the orphans.The later records were largely destroyed in the Civil War.There is supposedly one transcription of some 1670s records that is rare and I think the VA Archives has it.
I believe Lambeth TYE was some relation to this family.He was born abt 1665, because in a 1681 deposition in Henrico Co. he gave his age as about 26 years.He's too young to be a son of Capt. Tye, but he could be a grandson.
I actually think this is the line we should be pursuing for a possible family to our John G. Tye of Kentucky.This family lived near the Washingtons.
I think it's probable that the MD Tyes are also related, but we just can't be sure which branch to which our John belongs -- YET! :-) Thanks and I hope to hear from you again.Gail
