I was glad to find your post of January this year. Here are some more tidbits I'd like to share.
The connections to Christopher Tye are interesting and fun to know too. The Tye name has seemed to hold its own fairly well since showing up in the Colonies. However there is the John Tye or Tyr, etc.name at James Cityof course and it's possible that it reflects somehow on the Richard Tye family. There are many Tyre/Tyree, etc. families but they seem to be a different group.We do have the arrivial date for Richard Tye in 1642 and this is the Richard who married the widow, Joyce Boyce, not long after his arrival.
“Adam Cooke, gent., patented 1,000 acs. Charles City Co., November 5, 1642, for transfer of twenty persons..... among them was Richard Tye.” Source: Nugent, "Cavaliers & Pioneers of VA.," p. 138, Book 1, Part 1, p. 846.
The following appears to be a possibility to the parental origins of Richard:
"1607 TYE, Richerd (sec) Marriage Wife: Agnes SMITH
Marriage Date: 25 Nov 1607 Recorded in: Walesby, Lincolnshire, England."

This "Richerd "and Agnes would be of the right age to have fathered Richard who came to VA in 1644. The younger Richard was born about 1620-25. We don’t know if he came from Lincolnshire. In fact many more Tyes came from Suffolk. It is interesting to note that Richard b.c. 1620 had a probable grandson, Anderson Tye, who named a daughter Agnes. She died as a child.
