Per affidavit of Richard Eugene Blackburn (courtesy of Mary Frances Smith Fisher, by way of Rozier Dedwylder), John Tyner was the son of Pearce Tyner, who lived in Orangeburgh District, SC and recorded a "gift deed" there on the date of 2 April 1801, in which he named John and Sarah as his loving son and daughter. Thsi deed is said to be on record at the Marion County, Mississippi courthouse.
Wayne Page (pagewayne1@aol.com) emailed, on June 21, 2008, that Sarah Tyner was the daughter of Arthur Pearce Tyner and Elizabeth Richardson.
She might have instead been born in North Carolina. Per affidavit of Richard Eugene Blackburn (courtesy of Mary Frances Smith Fisher, by way of Rozier Dedwylder), she was a sister of Sarah Tyner who married Robert Lott who was murdered at his home on Black Creek by the Copeland Gang in 1844. Mary Frances Smith Fisher notes that her father might be Benjamin Tyner.
Blanche Toole of Sabine County instead shows her maiden name as IRVINE. This may simply have been speculation based on son Armstrong Irvine Blackburn's middle name.
Mary Frances Fisher Smith had in her notes, from Dr. Johnie L. Reeves of Austin, the following obituary:
The Gonzalez Inquirer
Gonzalez, Texas
16 July 1853, page. 3, Col. 1
Microfilm, The Eugene C. Barker Texas History Center, Austin, Texas
Died after a prolonged illness, on the 15th inst., at the residence of Col. W. Means, Mrs. FRANCES BLACKBURN, age 93 years.
She emigrated to east Texas in 1843, thence to western Texas in '49. She was a warm and devoted Christian, having been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church 45 years, during which time she was the subject of many and severe trials, all of which she bore with Christian meekness and resignation. She was indeed, and in truth a help-mate for her husband, he being a minister of the Gospel, also a member of the Masonic Fraternity. She ever manifested a deep interest in the salvation of the souls of her fellow beings. She was an affectionate mother, always endevouring to train her children in the way they should go, and instilling into their minds the principles of the Divine Word. She left a number of relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but they mourn not as those having no hope.
Dr. Reeves notes that if the age of death (93) is correct, Frances should have been born ca 1760 versus 1768, as previously supposed.

(Medical):The child of a direct female descendant of Frances Tyner (Elizabeth Blackburn>Caroline McGrew>Jane Allen>Viola Fullen>Nina Fuller>son Tom McLemore) had their mtDNA analyzed, and it was predicted as H, with only one difference from the Cambridge Reference Sequence, 16519C, which is a fast moving marker. Mitochondrial haplogroup H is a predominantly European haplogroup that participated in a population expansion beginning approximately 20,000 years ago. Today, about 30% of all mitochondrial lineages in Europe are classified as haplogroup H. It is rather uniformly distributed throughout Europe suggesting a major role in the peopling of Europe, and descendant lineages of the original haplogroup H appear in the Near East as a result of migration. Future work will better resolve the distribution and historical characteristics of this haplogroup.
On her Clan Helena website, Amelia Reimer writes that, "Whether just by chance or by the guiding hand of natural selection we do not know, but Helena's clan has grown to become the most widespread and successful of the Seven Daughters of Eve. Her children have reached every shore, settled every forest and crossed every mountain range. Helena's descendants can be found from the Alps in the South to the Scottish Highlands and the Norwegian fjords in the North, and as far east as the Urals and the Russian steppes. Helena was born about 20,000 years ago on the strip of land that joins France and Spain, near what is now Perpignan. She belonged to a family of hunters, who harvested the rich oyster beds in the lagoons of the Carmargue to supplement their diet of meat. Helena's clan arrived in Europe from the Middle East, pushing their way along the Mediterranean, constrained to the narrow strip of land that was still habitable. Not long after she was born, the glaciers that covered the Pyrenees, which Helena could see on a clear day only thirty miles from her camp, began to draw back as, little by little, the summers grew warmer. Some of her clan moved south of the mountains, up the valley of the Ebro to the West to reach the lands of the Basque, where they remain to this day. The most adventurous of her children took advantage of the climatic improvements and journeyed ever northwards to join the great movement of hunters across the plains of France. We know that they reached England around 12,000 years ago because DNA recovered from a young male skeleton found in Gough's Cave in Somerset shows that he too belonged to the clan of Helena. [Same cave as Cheddar Man, but 3,000 years older.] "
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.
In Richard Eugene Blackburn's affidavit, he states that Sarah Tyner was the sister of Frances Tyner who was the wife of Gabriel Blackburn, and that she died in Columbia ans was buried in the graveyard on the farm. Mary Frances Smith Fisher believes her father to be Benjamin Tyner.

Source Nora Gentry LOCKLIN, 1987: "At Howard Payne College, Maude did not like the food in Robinett Hall, and her college days were few. Another reason was that she was in love with David Simon GENTRY, a Howard Payne student from Goldthwaite, eleven miles from Mullin. David was born 30 June 1874 in Grayson County, Texas. Before Grandaddy Tyson would give his girl away in marriage, he rode his horse, Old Button, to Goldthwaite to see what was generally thought of this boy David Gentry. One man told him David was worth a whole cow pen of other boys. Maude and Dave were married in Mullin in the Tyson Home, 7 November 1894. Granny Tyson thought that you should not bother to ice a cake, so she baked several plain pound cakes for the reception and the dance. The bride's dress was of cream colored solid cashmere, made basque style and trimmed in lace. The bride wore a beil and white gloves. The first night the couple slept in the side room of the Tyson Home."

Jacob Jansen was born in 1632 and baptized October 22, 1634, at Etten, North Brabant, Holland. The son of Johannes Marinessen and Wilhelimina Hoannes Adriense, he became the progenitor of the Van Etten/Van Atta family after he came to America.
In the mid-1600's, Dutch colonization in America was at a high level of interest, a circumstance that was to lead to Jacob's arrival in the colony at New Netherlands (New York). That story began with a man named Adriaen van der Donck, from Breda in North Brabant province. He first came to New Netherlands in 1641, and was initially involved with the development of a settlement colony at Yonkers. In early 1652, van der Donck was back in Holland. Prospective settlers for those Dutch colonies, or servants for those already established in New Netherlands, were hired or recruited in the mother country, generally in the area from which the colonial leader came -- in this case van der Donck from North Brabant.
Van der Donck at that time was seeking farmers for his Yonkers colony in the neighborhood of Breda, his birthplace. Among several he recruited were Aert Pieters Tack and Jacob Jansz/Jansen from nearby Etten, according to papers dated May 15, 1652. The two were contracted for six years. Such contracts ranged from two to six years. Passage money in these cases was usually paid by the employer. In New Netherlands, bed and board were furnished in addition to wages, which for farmhands ranged from 100 to 150 guilders a year, depending on age and experience.
Yonkers was just north of New Amsterdam (New York City). Jacob Jansen apparently made the crossing to America in the year 1652, but it is not clear whether he was at Yonkers or whether he was diverted to Esopus, first settled by the Dutch that year. Esopus, named for the Indian tribe in that area, was on the west bank of the Hudson River, about 75 miles north of Yonkers. Jacob worked as a farmhand for Aert Pieters/Petersen Tack at Esopus about 1658, and was referred to as "head farmer of Tack". Relations with the Indians were not good at that time, and the New Netherlands director-general, Petrus (Peter) Stuyvesant, urged an agreement which the settlers there signed, May 31, 1658, to erect a palisaded village and demolish their separate dwellings.
A brief war with the Indians, known as the First Esopus War, began after soldiers and settlers senselessly shot three Indians in September 1659. An uneasy peace treaty was signed in July 1660. Despite the tense situation, the community kept growing and was named Wiltwyck by Stuyvesant in 1661. Then, in June 1663, Indians attacked the village, massacred a number of residents, took others as prisoners, and burned many homes. The record states that Aert Tack was never seen again. A second peace treaty was concluded with the Indians in May 1664, and later that year an important step was taken by Jacob Jansen. But before that, English forces seized New Amsterdam, September 8, 1664, and 17 days later Wiltwyck came under the authority of the Duke of York. The state of New Netherlands and the city of New Amsterdam were both renamed New York. The name Wildwyck fell into disuse, and the town was again generally referred to as Esopus.
As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace, and after the publishing of the banns, he was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten) later, the von became Anglicized to "Van." His wife was Annetje Gelvins, interpretation of old Dutch records by experts reveals. Her name was written in several ways, including Annetje Adriantse Gelvins and Annetje Adriantse Kam. These led genealogists to say that her father's name, therefore, was Adrian and his last name Gelvins or Kam.
The nature of a number of difficulties involving her first husband, Aert Pietersen Tack, emerges through a sequence of court cases beginning in 1662. There were several problems with employees over wages, and that November (1662) he mortgaged the grain crop to be harvested the following year. Tack apparently left before the fall of 1663, either as the result of the Indian raid or under cover of it. His wife harvested the grain and was enjoined by creditors from using the harvest (except that which the court ordered her paid for her work in harvesting). In May 1664, further evidence of Tack's indebtedness, in this case, for cattle appeared. In July, the court took steps to condemn Tack's property for his absenting himself, and to sell it to satisfy a list of creditors.
In October of 1664, Jacob Jansen sued for wages due him. The following month, Jacob himself was sued to collect a debt of wheat which he admitted but explained that he couldn't pay due to being sick with fever. He was granted time until the Tack estate was settled, when he presumably could collect wages due him. In January 1665, Annetje Ariaens requested relief from her debts because her effects had been sold "on behalf of creditors of her absconded husband". That same month, Jacob again requested the court that he be paid his wages from the estate in the amount of "388 guilders heavy money in wheat". He was told he could be paid after prior preference creditors were satisfied. Jacob was still having some financial problems in March 1666, when he was sued for not having paid his house rent of one schepel (about ? of a bushel) of wheat per month for 13 months. As late as March 1668, when he was sued for wheat due on the purchase of a house and lot, he could not pay because his wife's estate had been sold to satisfy her former husband's creditors.
After that, his financial situation apparently improved. In 1670, there is mention of Jacob Jansen Van Etten as a resident of Horley (Hurley), near Kingston. In September 1669, along with some changes and new villages nearby, Esopus became Kingston, the name that has remained since except for a brief time in 1673-4 when the Dutch briefly regained control and the town was temporarily named Swaenenburgh. But things quieted down after that and ended a turbulent 23-year period from its founding that had included two Indian wars and three changes in national allegiance.
Jacob Jansen Van Etten, according to one old account, loved to tell his children about the narrow escape of his grandmother Maria from the Spanish soldiers in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1570, when she was five years old. The Catholic Spanish killed several thousand Protestant Dutch. Maria's father Erick had the rest of the family hide in a small cubbyhole closet in an attic corner farthest from its small window. Erick, it is said, killed pet cats and splattered the blood over a dummy corpse. When the Spanish soldiers saw this, they thought their associates had already been there, so they moved on.
Old records have disclosed that Jacob was a petitioner for a minister for the old church at Esopus in 1676. Jacob Jansen was one of those who signed a petition for control of local affairs, January 26, 1684, mentioned in Old Ulster II (257-262), which so angered Governor Thomas Donger that all the signers were arrested and fined. Jacob Jansen Van Etten took an oath of allegiance to England in 1689 in Ulster County, N. Y. by order of the governor .
He then resided. at the town of Hurley. Jacob Jansen Van Etten died in 1690 at Hurley, survived by his widow, five sons, and four daughters.
In 1718, the property of Jacob Jansen Van Etten was divided among his children by conveyance from his widow to each of them. About that time, the sons and their families were seeking new homes in the then sparsely settled Country along the Hudson River, and in the Delaware River valley, first in northwestern New Jersey and a little later on the Pennsylvania side.
The son of Louis Van Schoubroek and Mary Susan Shelburne. He married twice more after the death of his first wife, Matilda Dandy, once to Aimee Perot...they had several children and lived in Natchitoches Parish. He also married Alice Coleman and had issue with this marriage (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 98).
Maria was widowed at the time of the 1930 census, and living with her son, Van.
