Biography

"Tryonville is a village in the eastern part, containing a population of perhaps 150. The first settlement here was made by the Tryons. They kep a few groceries on hand for the accommodation of their mill hands, but the first considerable stock of merchandise was brought by E. B. Lee about 1848. … James Tryon kept the first school.

"Tryonville Methodist Episcopal Church, the only religious society in the township, was organized in 1833. Its original membership was small, including James Tryon and wife, David Tryon and wife, and Mrs. Harriet Matthews. James Tryon, who was chiefly instrumental in effecting the organization, was its leader forty years, the present leader, David Titus, being his only successor. Services were held in the schoolhouse until 1870…" ^[1]

"David and James Tryon, brothers, originally from Litchfield, Conn., about 1828 removed to the site of Tryonville from Rome Township, where, about three-fourths of a mile below Centerville, they had been operating a fulling and carding-mill. They came with the intention of lumbering, and had purchased two 500 acre tracts, 136 and 137, and some adjoining land well forested with pine. They made the first improvement of note in this portion of Steuben, and at one time had three saw-mills in operation on their land here. They are yet [1885] living near Tryonville.^[2]

Treasurer of Crawford County Oct 1859 to Oct 1865.^[3]
