Biography
Ephraim was born about 1801, the son of Elias Tryon and Anne Fairchild. He married Armenia Palmer about 1821. He died before 1865.
Research Notes
In the census of 1810, Leeds & Lansdowne (Rear) Township, Leeds, we find Ephriam with parents Elias and Anne and sisters Jenny and Mary Tryon [1]. He is also found in the 1824, 1825, and 1826 Yonge Township, Leeds, census with a wife and two daughters under 16 [2] [3] [4]. In 1827 there are two Elias Tryons in the census but since Elias Fairchild would only be nine years old, this is likely a mistake and one of them is Ephraim [5].
Ephraim was deceased by the time his brother Elias Fairchild Tryon died in 1865, as two of Ephraim's children, Rosanna (married Stephen Peer) and Jane (married James Knapp) are named as heirs at law of Elias. This mention is made in a Fairchild genealogy.[1]
An Ephraim G. Tryon aquired land in Jones County, Iowa, 1 Aug 1851, through a military grant. Iowa is where his daughter's family (Jane and James Knapp) is reported to live in 1867.

Armenia Knapp 1840–1904 Ithamar Knapp 1841–1927 Abraham Knapp 1843–1864 Rosanna Knapp 1845– Isaac Knapp 1847– Beulah A. Knapp 1850 Ont. Canada –1936 m Albert Roberts WI? Henry Knapp 1860?
The 1851 Canada census has Armena Knapp aged 12 (listed in household of some Chapins, next door), Ithamar/Ithamer Knapp aged 22 (wrong age, but could it be a transcription error?); Abraham Knapp aged 9 (about right age); Rosanna Knapp aged 7 (again, about right age); no Isaac (he could have died young); Bulah Knapp (about right age). But these children are scattered throughout this large household or set of households (there are one, two, maybe three households but all adjacent to each other). I think this is the right line to pursue. It could be that James and Jane were in the process of moving themselves and family to Wisconsin at this time, and several of their children were farmed out to relatives awaiting the move south of the border.
Also found a scan of a marriage between James C. Knapp and Lydia Hasard (the name of three children in their mutual household, so hers by a first marriage?). He was listed as being of McGregor, Iowa, they were married in Canada 25 Oct 1869, father of husband was Thomas Knapp and mother was Vestra Knapp (there is a Vasti Knapp in the 1851 census, aged 77), bride's parents were Humphrey and Elizabeth (last name looks like Fesect?).
