My great grandmother, Selitha/Salathia Tye was the youngest sister of your great grandfather, John Wesley Tye. She married my great grandfather, Benjamin Boswell, in 1866. The 1860 Columbia Co., AR census shows her to be 9 years old and born in Alabama. My information shows that John Henry Tye died in 1879 and his wife, Mary, in 1880. I received a lot of Tye information from Carl Ward [now deceased] of Hope, AR a few years ago. He lists two sources of information that show Mary's maiden name to be Gee. Do you know where in Alabama they lived before moving to Arkansas? Celitha and Benjamin Boswell are buried in the Ninnekah, OK cemetery. She died in 1927 and he in 1932. If you find any new information, I would appreciate hearing from you.
