Notes:

Per affidavit of Richard Eugene Blackburn (courtesy of Mary Frances Smith Fisher, by way of Rozier Dedwylder), Richard had in his possession a deed written by John Tyner on 25 August 1847, in which he made gifts to his six children named as Sarah Elizabeth Blackburn, Mary Ann Hammond, Amanda Robert Tyner, Henry Arthur Tyner, James Marion Tyner and Mary Elizabeth Tyner. Mary Frances Smith Fisher believes that Mary Elizabeth is actually his wife, and not a daughter. She has been unable to locate this original deed to verify.

John married Mary E. "Polly" Sones. Mary was born before 1784 in South Carolina; died before 1860 in Marion County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(Research):The SONES lineage in Marion County Mississippi runs directly to Henry SOANE, JR - a Burgess in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1652-1661 and Speaker of the House of Burgesses in 1660-1661. Thomas JEFFERSON, SR was born in 1653 in Curles, James River, Henrico, Virginia. He died in 1697 in Henrico Co., VA. He married Mary BRANCH in 1677 in Curles, James River, Henrico, Virginia. Mary BRANCH was born about 1660 in Henrico County, Virginia. She died after Nov 1700 in Henrico County, Virginia. Their children were Thomas JEFFERSON, JR who was born in 1677 and died on 18 Feb 1731; Martha JEFFERSON was born about 1679 in Henrico, Virginia; Mary JEFFERSON was born in 1679 in Henrico, Virginia. Of special interest to the SONES researcher, Colonel Peter JEFFERSON (1708-1757), son of Captain Thomas JEFFERSON, JR (1677-18 Feb 1731) and Mary FIELD (1680-1715) married Jane RANDOLPH (1720-1776). They were the parents of Thomas JEFFERSON (1743-1826), who became the third President of the United States. Thomas JEFFERSON's Great-Great Grandparents were Henry and Judith (FULLER) SOANE. The Marion County, Mississippi Sones families are relatives of, but not descendents of President Thomas JEFFERSONTo better understand the connection, among Henry and Judith SOANE's decendants, Judith SOANE (1646-1703), first married Henry RANDOLPH (1623-1673) and secondly (marr 21 Oct 1678 Chickahominy, VA) to Peter FIELD (1647-1707). Mary FIELD (1679-1715), their daughter married Thomas JEFFERSON, JR (1679-1730), Sheriff of Henrico County, Virginia and son of Thomas JEFFERSON, SR (died 1697) and Mary (Martha) BRANCH.
