1 Nicholas Tiner b: Abt 1650 d: Abt 1708 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. I. NICHOLAS TYNER lived in Isle of Wight, Virginia. His wife's name is unknown. Note that the name is variously spelled as Tynes, Tinor, or Tyner. He is listed in the 1704 Rent Roll for Isle of Wight Co. as owning 300 acres, and appears in the Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Deed Book I on page 591: "John Watkins and wife Mary, for 1400 lbs. sell to Nicholas Tinor a pat. to Watkins, 23 Apl. 1681. 23 Apl. 1681-2. Ed. Perkins, Rowland Burkley." And on page 629: "Thomas Man, Sr., heir of Tomas Man lately dec., for 200 lbs. tbco. paid by Nicholas Tynes sell pat. of 560 acres on Corowak Swamp sold to Thomas Man by Richard Booth, 9 Feb., 1692-93. 8 Nov. 1696. Boaz Gwin, Philip Rayford." The Virginia Genealogist by John Frederick Dorman, Volume 12, 1968, on page 64, has: "Court Orders, Isle of Wight Co., Va., 9 Dec. 1693; Jno. Monger, Robt. Horner, Ja. Brown, Wm. Gaeiney, Nicho. Tiner, Tho. Clarke, Tho. Underwood, Sr., Peter Frankelyn being summoned on the grand jury and not appearing, sheriff is ordered to summon them to next court to show cause (if any) for their default." The "Abstract of Conveyances" from the Register of Deeds for Chowan County, at Edenton, North Carolina, as on page 92 of the North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol i, has "Nicholas Tyner, to William Williams, 300 acres northwest of ye branch, where Sarah Sowells alias Thomas now lives; April 1, 1707, For 500 lbs. of tobacco. Test., Silas Smith, John Solly." And, on page 98: "Sarah Smith to Tredle Keefe. Power of attorney; without date. Test Henry Emanson, Nich1 Tyner." The Wills and Administrations of Isle of Wight County (Va.), Book 1 by B. A. Chapman, 1938, on page 37 lists "Will of Edward Perkins: Legatees incl. James Tynes, son of Nicholas Tynes. Dtd. 8 August 1686; Rec. 9 Dec. 1686.--Will and Deed Book #2, pp. 262, 264." On page 58, the same book mentions "Will of Sarah Currer, d/o John Currer of Nor. Car., decd., Legatees, Cousin Robt. Cooper et. al. Will and Deed Bk. #3, page 421." Nicholas is a witness to this will. Deed Book 2 (1704-1715), p. 24, says James Gurley in the County of Albemarle and the Province of Chowan sold land to Nicholas Tyner Sr. in Isle of Wight. He gave his wife the power of attorney to handle the sale to Nicholas in his absence. It was dated 12 April 1703.

Nicholas left a will dated 28 September 1708, which was probated 9 February 1708-9. He was listed in the Isle of Wight Will and Deed Book 2, page 489.

Tyner George W.,late of Salem, was one of the early settlers of Henry county, and a successful farmer and business man, holding the responsible position at the time of his death, in 1896, of president of the Bank of Salem. He was a native of Indiana, where his parents were among the early pioneers. His father, Elijah Tyner, was born March 21, 1799, on Little river, Abbeyville district, S. C., and was the second son of Rev. William Tyner, a Baptist minister, who removed with his family to Kentucky in 1803, and three years later to the territory of Indiana, locating near where Brookville has since been built. He removed later to Decatur county, where he died. Elijah Tyner took a claim in Hancock county, Ind., at a time when the only roads were Indian trails, although he was not more than fifteen or twenty miles from Indianapolis. Here he kept a small stock of merchandise in a log cabin, and was a merchant all his life, a large part of which was spent on his original claim. At the time of his death, he was a man of wealth, owning over 1,000 acres of land in central Indiana, all in one piece. He was married three times, and George W. was the oldest of the third wife's seven children.

[p.147] PROGRESSIVE MEN OF IOWA.
G. W. Tyner was born December 3, 1832, in Hancock county, Ind., near Morristown. Here he grew to manhood, and at the age of 22 came to McDonough county, Ill., where he commenced farming and stock raising. The next year he removed to Iowa, and was married October 17, 1855, to Mary Frances Bartlett, with whom he had become acquainted in Illinois. They settled immediately upon the farm in Henry county, which was their home for nearly forty years. After the death of his wife, in 1892, Mr. Tyner no longer cared to remain on the farm, and therefore moved to town and made his home with his sons in Salem. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Tyner: William and John, who died in childhood; Elijah, who resides on the old homestead; Sarah C., wife of Dr. A. J. Rogers, of Hillsboro, Iowa; Melvin, a lawyer, at Pasadena, Cal.; Oliver, assistant cashier of the Bank of Salem; James, a clothier of that city; and Elbert, a farmer living near there.

Politically, Mr. Tyner was a republican, but was never an office seeker, having held only local offices. His interests were rather in his home and business than in quest of public honors. For a number of years he was treasurer of the Hillsboro and Salem District Fair association, which owed much of its success to his tireless efforts. During the winter of 1895, a few months before his death, he united with the Congregational church of Salem.

Mr. Tyner's death occurred August 19, 1896, after a tedious illness which he had endured with great patience. At the time of his death it was said of him: "He was a man whom we all loved and admired. In his dealings with his fellow men he was honest, and strived to keep the golden rule; as a neighbor, none could excel him; as a business man, he was a skillful manager, shrewd investor and a splendid financier. As a citizen, he was modest and retiring, leading a life of the utmost simplicity, abhorring anything affected. His greatest pleasures in life were to do acts of kindness for his family"

WILLIAM S. TYNER was one of the early settlers of Kansas, though he lived in the state only a few years, but founded a family which has become especially well known and prominent in Osage County

The Tyners were an old and prominent family of Indiana. William S. Tyner was one of seven sons and was born on a farm in Rush County, Indiana, September 20, 1820. His parents were John and Nancy (Sailors) Tyner, both Indiana people. William S. Tyner was a cousin of James N. Tyner, who served as postmaster general under President Hayes.

The early education of William S. Tyner was acquired in the district school of Bush County. When he was nineteen years of age his family removed to Wabash County in that state. In 1842 William Tyner married Mary Washburn of Indiana. Six children were born to their union: Milton, deceased; Helen, Mrs. Hiza Wilson of Michigan Valley, Kansas; Jonas of California; Willis H. of Lyndon; Arminda; who lives on the old homestead in Indiana; Edgar, deceased; and Melvin of Arcadia, Tennessee.

The Indiana home of William S. Tyner for many years was a 160-acre farm. There he and his wife reared their family. In 1869 he followed two of his older sons, Milton and Jonas, to Kansas, located on a farm of a quarter section in Douglas County. In Douglas County he became prominent as a citizen and did much to build up that country in the years following the war. He was very active on the farm and in community affairs until the death of his wife in 1884. He then returned to Wabash, Indiana, and lived retired until his death. William S. Tyner was always favorably impressed and an enthusiastic advocate of the advantages and opportunities of the great State of Kansas. This was true despite the fact that he had weathered the storms and vicissitudes of early Kansas farming. He endured the troubles of the grasshopper year, the drought, and practically all the other hardships which the people of that time had to endure. Though a loyal republican, William S. Tyner was no politician and never held an office. He was an active member of the Grange and both he and his wife were devout Baptists and active in church work. During his residence in Kansas he identified himself with the upbuilding of schools and churches and lent a helping hand to everything for community good.

Willis H. Tyner, a son of this old time settler, is one of the foremost citizens of Lyndon in Osage County. He was born on a farm near Wabash, Indiana, January 14, 1852. He attended school there and worked on a farm and was about seventeen years of age when he came with his parents to Kansas. After several years in this state he returned to Indiana. Mr. Tyner married Rebecca Moore of Baldwin, Kansas, but a native of Illinois. Her parents were Leroy and Sarah (Eliott) Moore, who on coming to Kansas located at Ottawa. Leroy Moore was deputy sheriff of Franklin County two terms and had also served as sheriff for two terms in Mercer County, Illinois.

When the plague of grasshoppers swept Kansas during the '70s, Mr. and Mrs. Willis E. Tyner went baek to Indiana, where he rented a farm of 160 acres. Later he rented 300 acres near Wabash, and lived there for twelve years, enjoying a steadily increasing prosperity. In the meantime he had not forgotten Kansas, and his admiration for the state grew apace and finally brought him back within its limits. Mr. Tyner bought eighty acres in Junction Township of Osage County on One Hundred Ten Creek, and when he retired he had 117 acres of fine farming land which he sold. In 1903 he bought 160 acres near Lyndon, and lived on and managed that place until 1909. After renting his farm he moved into the city of Lyndon, and became the active business partner of L. T. Hussey, now state fire marshal. They were engaged in the real estate and insurance business under the name of Hussey & Tyner, and they were also closely associated in much public-spirited and welfare work. Mr. Tyner served as township trustee of Valley Brook Township for two years, in 1909-10, and was a member of the town council of Lyndon from 1909 to 1915. While township trustee he and Mr. Hussey, who was then mayor of Lyndon, did much to acquire a Carnegie library for the city. While in the council Mr. Tyner was interested in the adoption of the light, water and sewer system, and he also helped to extend the lines of the electric light plant to Quenemo and Malvern, two towns now lighted from the municipal plant of Lyndon.

Mr. Tyner is an active republican, served for nine years as trustee of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge and is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He and his wife are members of the Christian Church. To their marriage were born two children: Cora Belle is now Mrs. S. B. Reed of Barton County, Kansas; Nora May, now deceased, was formerly Mrs. Calvin Leonard, of Quenemo, Kansas. Mrs. Leonard is survived by two daughters, Cora and Ruth.
