The following family listings is from the “Tyson Heritage” book published in 1981 by Marjorie Morgan Townes. The list was put on computer and some update since then.
The intent of this web site is to continue updating the years of family genealogy listed in Marjorie’s book, starting on page 156 and going through page 205.
The first update after transferring to computer was July 1996. Distribution was available at that time. After some time I completely entered from the book the entire listing as a word document with Microsoft word.
The information has never been totally up to date, it is that which has been provided by various family members. There are some family descendants not listed.
The intent of this website is to give all family members access to view this very large family genealogy, post comments and updates for their family. My intent is to give several family members access to the website, giving them the ability to go on line and enter updates posted in comment. It will require the younger generation to continue.

History:
After a waiting period of about five years after applying for emigration to America the waiting was over. Thomas received approval to emigrate to America with twelve of his thirteen children. Eliza Hannah the oldest child married to John Bradshaw would followed their parents to America in 1883 and became the founding of many descendants. . Eliza, John and some of their children are buried in the Tyson cemetery on Blue Ridge road, Wake County.
In preparations, Thomas set about to sell his dairy and all belongs and in 1881 they bid farewell to relatives and friends and left Natland England to settle in Wake County, North Carolina just west of Raleigh where he purchased about two hundred acres to start a dairy. The cemetery is located on the second farm Thomas purchased after the city of Raleigh advanced near his dairy. It was an appropriate opportunity to sell at a profit and relocate.
The listing transferred to computer has been more to continue updating the descendants of Nathan Tyson. Thomas and Sarah's eighth child born December 12, 1869, twelve years old when he arrived in America. Nathan would stay with his father on the relocation to Blue Ridge road and eventually purchase the farm from his father.
Nathan would later, in the 1920s, sell and purchase sixty-eight acres further up Blue Ridge road at the junction of Durleigh road. His thinking at the time, the junction at the roads may be a good place to open a country store, which he did some time later. Some family members had a grocery store in Raleigh. It ran in the family, my father would much later rent the store and then build a store across the street on his property.
Also, at the junction Nathan donated land to build a church, Pentecostal Holiness, that existed some seventy-five years until the national headquarters sold the land to BB&T Bank for a branch bank .
The following is a list of Thomas's thirteen children with comment, followed by Nathan and Lillie's twelve children. This is twelve family lines we are trying to update.
This website did not accommodate the entire family listing back to Thomas. It is however available as an email download on request.
THE Thomas TYSON HERITAGE
THOMAS & SARAH TYSON FAMILY
Thomas Tyson,Sr. married Sarah Brocklenbank
Born: Feb. 2,1827 Kendall, England Born: Sept. 8, 1837
Died: Oct.30,1908 ca. 1850 Died: Nov.20, 1907
Their Children, Seven Sons, Six Daughters.
I. ELIZA HANNAH: Born: ca. 1854 in England; married John
Bradshaw, also a native of England. They followed her parents to America in 1883. Some attribute her death to tuberculosis; others say she died of pneumonia. She is buried at Tyson Family Cemetery alongside her parents and two infant children.
II. Edward: Born ca. 1856; known as "Ed"; went to Virginia to
work in the coal mines where he met and married a girl named Sara. Her maiden name is unknown. They later moved to Kenoshia, Wisconsin where it is said he managed a rope factory and farmed. It is believed he died and is buried there, date unknown.
III. William: Born ca. 1858; known as "Bill"; never married. He followed the family trade of farmer and dairyman. It is understood that he went to Wisconsin sometime during mid-life where he owned and operated a sizable dairy and farm in Saint Croix Falls. When he retired he moved to California where he died in January of 1946, and is buried there.
IV. Sarah: Born Dec.12,1860; married Sion Blake (a musician) whom she later divorced. She reared her only child, Beatrice, alone. When Beatrice was grown, Sarah married her widowed brother-in-law, John Bradshaw, and helped him rear his children to adulthood. Then they divorced and she resumed her maiden name of Tyson. She died at 86 years of age and is buried in Montlawn Cemetery, Raleigh, NC.
V. Thomas, Jr.: Born April 3, 1862; married a widow, Annie Finch Davis, with seven children. There were three children born to this marriage. Thomas owned and operated a general store on the corner of Oberlin and Fairview Roads in Raleigh. He also operated a farm nearby. He and Annie are buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Ralegh,NC.
VI. Elizabeth: Born Jan.4 1864; also known as "Lizzie". She married Graham Tarpley of the Wendell-Zebulon area of Wake County. They had a son and daughter born to them. There was also an adopted son, Thomas, about whom little is known. Lizzie was a deeply religious woman, faithful in prayer and Bible study. Her husband was a railroad engineer.
VII. Richard Harrison: There are conflicting records of his year of birth. Research points most logically to Oct. 15, 1867. However, the 1900 Census shows 1866 and his tombstone reflects 1869. He was known as "Dick" and was the only son given a middle name. He was named for his grandfather. He remained single until after his parents' death, attending the farm and dairy. In 1917 he married Elizabeth Smith and they had three sons. He was first buried in the Pleasant Grove Methodist Church Cemetery, but was later moved by his wife to Montlawn Cemetery in Raleigh. She is buried there beside him.
VIII. Nathan: Born Dec.12,1869 (the 1900 Census shows 1870); was eleven years of age when he came to America with his parents. He was a man of many talents but only one calling. He followed his father's trade of dairyman and farmer. He was also a builder and merchant, but his true calling came at age 40 to minister the Gospel. He spent the next 40 years preaching. He married Lillie Spikes and they had thirteen children. Both are buried at the Trinity (Tyson Chapel) Cemetery, Raleigh, NC, which he founded.
After the church property was sold and the church demolished, on September 21/2005 the entire cemetery was relocated. The Tyson family members were moved included, the Son, Richard Nathan/ Wife Bessie Marie, (Spence) and Joyce Tyson, married to Richard Edward to the Tyson cemetery on Blue Ridge Road. On the corner of the original farm owned by Nathan.
IX. Janie: Born Nov.14,1872; married Charles H. Emory by whom she had eight children. She was a saintly woman. She raised flowers and made handicrafts which she sold for pennies, nickles and dimes, after walking from Blue Ridge road to Raleigh, so she would have money to contribute to her church and to foreign missions. She was very loving, kind and humble. She, her husband, and several of their children are buried in the Tyson Family Cemetery on Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh, NC.
X. Joseph: Born April 9, 1874 (1900 Census shows 1875); known also as "Joe". He was a merchant in Raleigh. He married Roxie Eubanks and they had seven children born to them. After his death at age 34, Roxie married Carte Baker by whom she bore two children, Blanche and Dwight, both of whom died in their first year. When Roxie and Carte divorced, she resumed the Tyson name. Joseph and Roxie are buried at the Tyson Family Cemetery along with several of their children.
XI. Benjamin: Born Feb.14,1877 (1900 Census shows 1876); also known as "Ben". Never married. He was a farmer and blacksmith. Came to America as a young child age 4. He died at 38 years with Bright's disease. Buried in Tyson Family Cemetery.
XII. Lucy Annie: Born August 28, 1879 (1900 Census shows 1878); married Thomas Hillard Emory who was a farmer. They had six children. Lucy was a beloved lady for her gentleness toward everyone. She and her husband are buried in the Ephesus Baptist Church Cemetery between Raleigh and Cary, NC.
