27 Apr 2024

Birth*	John was born on 31 December 1795 in Franklin Co., Virginia, s/o John Claiborne Tyree (1763-1839) and Hannah Clay (1767-1846).1
Marriage*	He married Mary Ann Keen, daughter of Capt. Elisha Keen and Elizabeth Napier, on 10 April 1821 in Franklin Co., Virginia. Barbour mistakenly shows John Claiborne Tyree as Mary Ann's husband with a date is 10 Oct 1821.3,2,4
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 17 June 2016 re Barbour's claims. Barbour says John Claiborne Tyree is Mary Ann's husband. Find A Grave has an entry for Pvt John Clairborne Tyree, Sr. (1763-1839) which shows wife Hannah Clay (1791-1846). They claim these two folks were the "John and Anna' who founded the Tyreeanna United Methodist Church in Lynchburg, VA, in 1857. But the Tyreeanna Church website (http://tyreeannaumc.org/, About Us) shows the founders as John Henley Tyree and Anna Phoebe Bransford. Any way you look at it Mary Ann's husband was not John Clairborne Tyree.5
Move*	John and Mary moved their residence from Virginia to Benton County between 1830 and 1835, the 'early 1830s' per Find A Grave. If daughter Hanna's birthstate of Virginia is correct as shown in the 1850 census, then the move had to be afte 15 Nov 1850.1,6
Census1840*	John S. appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Lindsey, Benton Co., Missouri, with a household listed as 01110011-010001 as 40-44 yo John Tyre (indexed Lyre). John, Mary Ann and Hannah are perfect. The others remain unclear at this time.7
Census1850	John and Mary appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Lindsey, Benton Co., Missouri, enumerated 15 November 1850, as 55 yo farmer John & 45 yo Mary A Tyree. Their daughter Hannah C. was listed as living with them. Other person in household, currently unknown, is Jane Berry 27.6
Census1860	John and Mary appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of T42 R21, Warsaw P.O., Benton Co., Missouri, enumerated 12 September 1860, as 64 yo farmer John & 54 yo Mary Tyree. Others in household, currently unknown, are James L. Berry 35, Sarah Berry 18, and Frederick Stammer 15.8
Death*	John died on 18 June 1861 in Benton Co., Missouri, at age 65. He was Benton County's first Civil War casualty. On a trip to Warsaw, he observed Rebel forces assembling, and guessed correctly that they were preparing to attack the regiment of Union Home Guards encamped near Cole Camp. Although a slave holder, he supported the Union and went to Cole Camp to warn them. While enroute home that night he was intercepted by the Rebel troops who had seen him in Warsaw earlier, and he was shot as a spy. (:TAB:)John's warning went unheeded, and The Battle of Cole Camp at dawn June 19th was a decisive Rebel victory.1
Burial*	He was buried at Tyree Family Cemetery in Cole Camp, Benton Co., Missouri. Biography available at Find A Grave.1

surname Myers¹

27 Sep 2022

Note*

Forebears writes, This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'at the mire,' swampy, low-lying land, a bog, found in such compounds as Hollowmire, Longmire, Blamire. The final 's' is common to short local surnames; compare Holmes, Greaves, Brooks, Styles. A large number of the Myers in the London Directory are of German-Jewish descent, and have no connexion with the North-English Myers. Middle English mine and myre. 'And lette his shepe acombred—in the mire.' Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales., Prologue. David in the Mire, Close Rolls, 24 Edward I. Henricus del Myre, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire. Johannes del Mire, 1379: ibid. Willelmus del Mire, 1379: ibid. Richard del Myre, 1379: ibid. 1609. Thomas Awsten and Katherine Myers: Marriage Lic. (London). Roger Mires, 1642: Preston Rolls. William Mires, 1642: ibid. Richard Myres, of Preston, 1670: Lancashire Wills at Richmond. Hugh Myres, of Docker, 1540: ibid. Thomas Myers, of Preston, 1671: ibid. — A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley Myer’s (Son): v. Myer. — Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison See Meir. — South African Surnames (1965) by Eric Rosenthal (German ) An overseer, or head servant; later, a farmer. — Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith The same as Meyer, the magistrate of a city or town; a very common name in Germany. — An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur In some cases a Hebrew name; generally, however, for Moirs or Moir. — The Norman People (1874) SurnameDB writes, This interesting name is of early medieval English origin, and is one of the patronymic forms of the surname "Mayer", found as Mayers, Myers, Meyers and Miers, the "s" being an abbreviated form of "son of Mayer". The surname is an occupational or "status" name for a mayor, derived from the Middle English and Old French term "mair, maire", from the Latin "maior", greater, superior. In France, and in Scotland, where the surname is usually found as "Mair", the title denoted various minor local officials, while in England the term was normally used only of the chief officer of a borough. The surname may have been given therefore to a citizen of some standing who had held this office, and also perhaps as a nickname to an officious or pompous person. The recordings include the following examples: Trynian Myars who married Ellyin Wright at the Church of St. Martin and St. Gregory, York in 1605, whilst on September 21st 1610, Mathew, the son of Trenyon Myers (same person different spelling) was christened at St. Johns Church, Ousebridge, near York. At various times in his life Trenyon is recorded as Trinian and Trynian and as Myers, Myars, Miares and Myeres. He must have been very confused. Other recordings include Alice Maiess christened in London in 1598, whilst the marriage of Thomas Myers and Anne Parkinsonne was recorded at St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, London, on June 29th 1609. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Herewardus le Mire, which was dated 1212, The Berkshire Curia Rolls, during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. Ancestry writes, Myers - English (mainly Yorkshire): patronymic from Mayer 1, i.e. ‘son of the mayor’. English: patronymic from mire ‘physician’ (see Myer 1). Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Midhir, probably a variant of Ó Meidhir ‘mayor’ (see Mayer). Mayer - English: status name for a mayor, Middle English, Old French mair(e) (from Latin maior ‘greater’, ‘superior’; compare Mayor). In France the title denoted various minor local officials, and the same is true of Scotland (see Mair 1). In England, however, the term was normally restricted to the chief officer of a borough, and the surname may have been given not only to a citizen of some standing who had held this office, but also as a nickname to a pompous or officious person. German and Dutch: variant of Meyer.2,3,4

From residence in such a locality have come the surnames Downe, Downer, Downman, Downes, &c. The H.R. form is Ate-Dune, i.e. ' At the Down.' — Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower SurnameDB writes, This name, with variant spellings Downie and Duny, has two distinct possible origins, the first being an Anglicized form of the Old Gaelic "O Dunadhaigh". The Gaelic prefix "O" indicates "male descendant of", plus the personal byname Dunadhach, the keeper of a fort, from "dun", a fort. The leading sept of this name belonged to the ancient territory of Ui Maine, (Mid Galway and South Roscommon), and the other chief sept were lords of Luachair, a district lying on the borders of Counties Cork, Kerry and Limerick. Another ancient County Galway name "O Maoldhomhraigh" meaning "descendant of the servant of the church" was initially Anglicized Muldowney, later abbreviated to Downey. One, Mulcahy Muldowney was Bishop of Kilmacduagh in that county from 1570-1610. Downey, and it's variants, may also be of territorial origin from the old barony of Duny or Downie in the parish of Monikie, Angus, Scotland, so called from the Scottish Gaelic "dun", a hill, plus the locational suffix "ach". Duncan de Dunny who witnessed a settlement regarding the boundaries of Tulloch and Conon in 1254 was the first recorded namebearer from this source. William Shaw Downie, the infant son of William and Margaret Downie, was christened at Carnmoney, Antrim, on October 1st 1826. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of O'Dunadhaigh, which was dated Circa 1050, in the "The Annals of the Four Masters", during the reign of High Kings of Ireland "with opposition". 1022 - 1166. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. Ancestry writes, Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Dúnadhaigh ‘descendant of Dúnadhach’, a personal name meaning ‘fortress-holder’ (from dún ‘fortress’, ‘fortified hill’). Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Maol Dhomhnaigh, or of Mac Giolla Dhomnaigh (see Maloney). Scottish: habitational name from the Scottish barony of Downie or Duny in the parish of Monikie in Angus (on Tayside), named from Gaelic dùn ‘hill’ + the locative suffix -ach. Bart Vandegrift writes, Here’s some information from our Northern Ireland tour guide you may already know. Downey is pronounced Dooney. It comes from the word down, pronounced doon, which means fort. There were forts all over the island. Downey may mean someone from the fort, so we could be from any part of Ireland. There are a lot of Downeys now living in Cork. Almost all records were burned in a Dublin fire in 1921, so genealogical research is difficult. There is still a 1901 and a 1911 census. Older research is usually done using church tithing records and records of names of tenants kept by landlords.3,4,5,6

Note*

Heraldry:      Curran's Heraldry writes, Arms: Gules three lions passant guardant in pale per pale d'or and argent. Crest: Issuant out of a cloud an arm embowed brandishing a sword argent pommel and hilt d'or. Motto: Lamh Laidir An Uachtar "The Strongest Hand Uppermost". The O'Downeys were of some importance in early mediaeval times, when there were two distinct septs of O Dunadhaigh. That of Sil Anmchadha, of the same stock as the O'Maddens, several of whom are described in the "Annals of Innisfallen", "Four Masters" etc., as lords of Sil Anmchadha, became submerged as early as the twelfth century: their descendants are still found in quite considerable numbers in that county (i.e. Co. Galway). Though the prefix O is now quite obsolete in English in the case of Downey, in the Irish language O Dunadhaigh is sometimes Mac Dunadhaigh in Co. Galway. This, of course, would be anglicized as MacDowney. MacDowney, however, which is actually found in Ulster, though a rare name even there, si the anglicized form of quite a different surname: namely, Mac Giolla Domhnaigh, usually rendered MacEldowney in English and sometimes simply Downey. Families named Downey in Ulster are presumably of this origin. MacEldowney is essentially a Co. Derry name, seldom found elsewhere. There's more.      Edward MacLysaght in Irish Families: Their Names, Arms and Origins, writes...Gleeson, Downey, Noonan and MacFadden are all given the arms of O'Brien, though none of these spets had any connexion whatever with the O'Briens or with each other.2,7

surname Blair¹

Note*

Forebears writes, Of territorial origin from one or more of the places of the name. Stephen de Blare was witness to a charter by Dovenald, Abbe de Brechin to the monastery of Arnbroath between 1204—1211 (RAA., I, 74 bis), Brice de Blair and Alexander del Blair witnessed an agreement between the burgh of Irvine and Brice de Eglunstone (Eglinton), 1205 (Irvine, I, p. 3). Alexander de Blare witnessed a charter by Fergus, earl of Buchan before 1214 (CAB., p. 408), and also a charter by Randulf de Strethphetham (REB., II, 3). William of Blare who witnessed a charter by Malcolm, seventh earl of Fife (Laing, 8), is probably Sir William de Blar, seneschal of Fife, 1235 (RD, p. 102). Alexander de Blare, miles, witnessed charters by Christina Corbet and her husband in favor of the Priory of St. Andrews, c. 1241 (RPSA., p. 263,278). David de Blare of Perthshire rendered homage, 1296 (Bain, II, p. 204). Thomas of Blayr of Rodyok had a safe conduct to travel in England, 1460 (Bain, IV, 1311).

They claim the chief-ship of all the Blairs in the S. and W. of Scotl., though that honour is challenged by the B.'s of Balthayock, co. Perth, who date back to the beginning of the XIII. cent. B.L.G. Blair, in Scottish topography, signifies a moss or heath, and as there are many localities so called, there may be several distinct families. Imp. Gaz. Scotl. Some etymologists make the word signify a battle-field. — Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower A cleared plain, and as this was often the ground selected for combats and battles, Blair came to signify a battle. The family are descended from William de Blair, 1205. — The Origin and Signification of Scottish Surnames (1862) by Clifford Stanley Sims (1839-1896) (Celtic.) Local. From Blair or Blar, which originally signified "a cleared plain,"but from the Celts generally choosing such plains for their fields of battle, blair came to signify a battle. There is a small village called the Blair near Lochord, about two miles from Lochleven, in Fifeshire, Scotland. It signifies a spot where a battle was fought, "locus pugnœ." Here, it is supposed, an engagement took place between the Romans and the Caledonians, A. D. 83. — An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur The Blairs, of Northumberland, are probably derived from the Blairs of Ayrshire, who are of great antiquity (L.); and in a similar manner the Aynsleys probably hail from the south of Scotland. — Homes of Family Names in Great Britain (1890) by Henry Brougham Guppy SurnameDB writes, Recorded as de Blare, Blare, Blayr, and the more popular Blair, this famous Scottish surname is locational. It probably originates from Blair House in Ayrshire, although the area of Mount Blair in the former county of Forfarshire in the far North East is also a possibility, as are the various Blair villages in Perthshire and Dunfermline. In all cases the derivation is from the pre 9th century Gaelic word "blar", meaning a field or plain but more specifically a battlefield! The surname is well recorded in the records of Scotland from the early 13th century with examples including Brice de Blar and Alexander del Blair who witnessed an agreement between the burgh of Irvine and Brice de Eglunstone in 1205. The the recording of one William of Blare who witnessed a charter by Malcolm, seventh Earl of Fife, is probably Sir William de Blar, the seneschal of Fife, recorded in 1235. Thomas of Blayr, given as being a merchant of Rodyok, had a safe conduct pass to travel to England in 1460. The surname is also very numerous in the province of Ulster, Ireland. Among the many recordings of the surname from in the early surviving church registers is that of the marriage of Bryce Blair and Jonet Mowatt on April 1st 1669, at Edinburgh, Midlothian. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Stephen de Blare, which was dated 1204 - 1211, a charter witness, during the reign of King William "The Lion" of Scotland, 1165 - 1214. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. Ancestry writes, Scottish and northern Irish: habitational name from any of the numerous places in Scotland called Blair, named with Scottish Gaelic blàr (genitive blàir) ‘plain’, ‘field’, especially a battlefield (Irish blár).2,3,4

surname McKee¹

Last Edited

27 Sep 2022

Note*

Forebears writes re surname MacKey, Gaelic MacAoidh, 'son of Aodh,' which see. Nothing certain is known of the origin of the northern Mackays beyond the fact that they were early connected with Moray, and may have been a part of the ancient Clann Morgunn. The Inverness-shire Mackays are usually called in Gaelic Mac Ai, that is, MacDhai, or Davidson; they formed a branch of Clan Chattan (Skene, Highlanders, p. 421). In 1326 there is entry of a payment by Gilchrist M'Ay, progenitor of the Mackays of Ugadale, to the constable of Tarbert (ER., I, p. 53, and intro., p. Ixxiv). Gilchrist Mac ymar McAy had a confirmation from Robert I of certain lands in Kintyre, to be held by him and his son, a minor, also named Gillichreist or Gilcrist, granted at Mayreth (Monreith) in Galwida, a. 1329 (RMS., I, App. I, 99), Odo Macidh was canon of Argyll, 1433 (Pap. Lett., VIII, p. 468). Several payments were made to Robert Makgye (Macgye, Macye, M'Gy, Makgy, Magy), the king's jester between 1441-50 (ER., v). Gilnew McCay was tenant of Arnskynnel Beg in Kintyre, 1506 (ER., XII, p. 707), and Niniane Makke and George McKe of Myretoun are mentioned in 1538 (RSS., II, 642). Patrick McKe was burgess of Wigtown, 1575 (RPC., II, p. 503), and Daniel M'Cay was retoured heir of Iver M'Cay of Arnagiae in the lands of Arnagiae and Ughaddell and in the office of coronator 'insufae et limitum de North Kintyre 1662 (Retours, Argyll, 71). Percy Wallace MacKaye (b. 1875), an American dramatist and poet. The unique Gaelic charter of 1408 was granted by Donald, lord of the Isles, to Brian Vicar Mackay of Islay (facsimile in Clan Donald, I, opp. p. 1). In Islay and in a lesser degree in Kintyre the a of Mac is prolonged, the C becoming prefixed to the surname, thus MacAoidh becomes MacCaidh on the east side of the island next to Kintyre, MacCaoidh in the middle as at Laggan. It is MacAoidh in the Rhinns. M'Akie 1559, McCa, McCaa, McKa, and McKaa all 1684, MacCey 1719, Maclye 1781, Mackal 1619, Maickie 1600, McKeiy 1618, Makhe 1538, Makie 1558, Mackkye 1588, Makkcee 1506, Makkie 1600, M'Ky 1663, Maky 1513, Makky 1567, Meikkie c. 1649; Makcawe, McCei, Mackaw, Makay, M'Kee, McKey, McKeye, Makkay, Makkaye, Makkey, Makee, Makkee, Macky, McKy, McKye. -- The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948) ... ]Skene observes, that "there are few clans whose true origin is more uncertain than that of the Mackays," ii. 287. Some derive them from the family of Forbes, co. Aberdeen, others from that of Mackay of Ugadale in Kintyre, and assert that they were planted in the North by William the Lion, when he took possession of Orkney and Caithness. Skene however believes them to be of Gaelic origin and indigenous to Caithness. The old form of the name is Mac Aaiodh (Aoi) ' the son of Hugh,' or, as others say, 'the son of the Guest.' -- Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower ... The surname McKay is of Scots origin, coming from the Scots Gaelic MacAoidh which means ‘son of Aodh’. The original meaning of the first name Aodh remains uncertain, but the most probable translation is ‘fire’. This would thus have been a nickname, referring probably to the temperament (or possibly the complexion or hair-colour) of the holder. Another possible translation of Aodh is ‘inspiration’. This original first name is another possible origin for some instances of the popular first names of Hugh and Hugo. The McKays originally came from the far north of Scotland, and from Inverness-shire. The origin of the main northern McKays is obscure, but they may well have come from the legendary Clann Morgan. The Inverness-shire McKays usually write their name in Gaelic as MacAi. This further complicates the origin of the name, for MacAi in Scots Gaelic is a form of MacDhai, which translated as ‘Davidson’ (the Scots Gaelic Dhai being similar to the popular Welsh first name ‘Dai’). As is usual with names that have been translated from the Gaelic through the ages, there have been countless variations on this name in the records. These range from Mackhe (1538) to Macky (1513) and M’Akie (1559). This variation gave rise to the ancient Stirlingshire name of Mackie, and thus Mackieson. This popular form means ‘son of the son of —’. The more common Macpherson is not the same-this comes from the Gaelic Mac an Phearsain, meaning ‘son of the parson’. The earliest mention of any version of McKay comes in the 1098 Manx records. Here one Cucail Mac Aedha is mentioned. However, it is not until 1326 that we find the more recognisable name Gilchrist M’Ay, who is listed by George Black, the eminent expert on Scottish names. The American colloquialism ‘the real McCoy’ (meaning ‘genuine’, ‘best of its kind’) originated through a mix-up over a brand of whisky called McKays exported to the US in the 1880s. The company slogan was confused with the name of an American boxer named McCoy. Scotsman James Mackay explored the Missouri River and pushed on to the Pacific coast, drawing up the map later used by the famous Lewis and Clark expedition. The enormous multi-national company International Telephone and Telegraph (IT&T) was founded by Clarence Hungerford MacKay (1874—1938) who supervised the completion of the first trans-Pacific cable between the United States and the Far East (1907). The largest clipper ship ever built, the Great Republic, 4,555 tons, was produced by master Boston shipbuilder Donald McKay (1810—80). Not only did he make them big; he made them fast. His boatyard’s ship Lightning had a top speed of 21 knots and established a long-standing record of 436 nautical miles in 24 hours. The only two towns named McKay are in Australia and the United States. Australia has a MacKay Lake, Canada has 2 (one spelled MacKay) as well as a McKay river. Australia has a MacKay mountain and a McKay mountain range. With about 25,000 namesakes MacKay and McKay form Scotland’s 18th most popular surname. Thus about one out of every 208 Scots is named MacKay or McKay. (The name is not common enough throughout England and Wales to be counted separately.) MacKay and McKay are notably popular in and around both Edinburgh and Glasgow; in each an estimated one in about 240 families bears the name. Around the world this surname is most common in Wellington (one in 562 families), Canberra (one in 622), Vancouver (one in 694) and Auckland (one in 732). The United States has 11,000 MacKays and 41,000 McKays-in combination making this their 527th most popular surname. -- Peter Verstappen.2

Forebears writes re Leatherberry, (Teutonic) belonging to Leather- barrow (Westmore-land, &c.) [for the first element see under Leather: the second is for Old English be(o)rg, a hill] Forebears writes re Leatherbarrow, This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Leatherbarrow'; v. Leather and Barrow. One Leatherbarrow is a hill by Windermere Lake. 1581. Nicholas Letherborow, Warwickshire: Register of the University of Oxford. 1582.

[for the first element see under Leather: the second is for Old English be(o)rg, a hill] — Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison A hill near Windermere. Ferguson, p. 204. — Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower SurnameDB writes re Leatherbarrow & Leatherborrow, This curious surname is of combined Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a locational name from Latterbarrow in the Furness district of North Lancashire, on the west side of Windermere. The component elements of the name are the Old Norse "latr", lair of a wild animal, and the Olde English pre 7th Century "bearu", grove, wood; hence, "lair by the wood". Locational surnames, such as this, were originally given to local landowners, and the lord of the manor, and especially as a means of identification to those who left their birthplace to settle elsewhere. Regional and dialectal differences subsequently produced several variations on the original spelling of the name which, in the modern idiom, is found as Leatherbarrow, Letherborrow, Litherborough and Letherbury. In 1582, one Anthony Leatherbarrow, of Aughton, was noted in the Wills Records of Cheshire, and on December 2nd 1593, Walter Leatherbarrow and Elizabeth Maudsley were married at Aughton by Ormskirk, Lancashire. Cicely Leatherbarrow of Wigan, Lancashire, was entered in the Cheshire Wills Records in 1618, and on January 15th 1683, the marriage of Agnes Leatherbarrow to John Upton took place at St. James', Duke's Place, London. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert Leatherbarrow, which was dated January 2nd 1542, christened at Aughton by Ormskirk, Lancashire, during the reign of King Henry V111, known as "Bluff King Hal", 1509 - 1542. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.2,3
