Biography

Joseph was the third child and only son of Joseph Tryon and Sarah Gibbs.^[1][2]

Joseph married Mary Smith in Litchfield May 23, 1817. Officiant was Rev. Lyman Beecher.^[3] NOTE: the couple named their first son John Smith Tryon, and Joseph's last will and testament was witnessed by an Ira Smith, who was perhaps a brother-in-law. Both point to wife Mary's name being Smith, not Hoyt.

Joseph died in Litchfield on November 5, 1846.^[4] He is buried in the Bantam Cemetery in Litchfield.^[5]

NOTE that baptismal records in Litchfield list children of Joseph, all baptized together, as Ann Miranda Tryon (later Taylor), Mary Ann Tryon and John Smith Tryon. This was in 1822.
