NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.
Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links.

Notes from James Tison:
See "The Forebears and Descendants of Reuban Henry Tison and Rebekah Mary Jane McKenzie", by Sara Gray McCormick, 1966.) Henry Tison (1803-1874) married Rebekah Jane McKenzie. He built Mistletoe Grove Plantation in 1852 near Brighton, Hampton County, SC, and is reported to have led the Black Swamp Methodist Church, Garnett, SC. NOTE: The McCormick book should provide details about this union and its issue.

John Allen was the third son of William MacKenzie Tison and Martha Thompson DeLoach. After Martha Leila's death he married a cousin, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson (1867-1937), nee Lawton, a widow with one daughter, Katherine.

Cornelius Tison (Tyson) (see notes)
The Tison family tree has been kindly submitted by James Sinkler Tison II. Most of the work was compiled by his grandfather, James Chisolm Tison, with updates and additional work supplied by JST II. Their work also contained contained much information on their Fripp ancestral line.
The full compilation can be studied in it's original PDF format on this website at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bean95/ft/frippus/links/fripp-tison.pdf or in standard HTML format here
The above information has been incorporated into this tree and has been supplimented with research from Harold Lawrence, whose tree can be found at Ancestry World Tree:
Notes from the James Tison:
Cornelius Tison (Tyson?) was said to have arrived with William Penn at Philadelphia, circa 1685, and was one of the founders of Germantown, PA. Had a brother, Reynier, who preceded him here by a year or two. Most records indicate that he had a son named Mattheis (1682-1766) who remained in Germantown, PA, and was the second generation of a long line of traceable Tysons in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and elsewhere.Records provided from within the family seem to indicate that Cornelius went to Bath County (now Hyde County), NC, and married a "Miss Mathias" there. However, publically available records contradict this, indicating that he remained in Germantown, PA until his death.
Is it possible that our family records have identified the wrong Cornelius Tison? Cornelius was a very common given name of the era. Or is it possible that we are not descended from the Krefeld Tisons at all? Some of the Tisons who went to PA did indeed migrate to NC, however, there is a Tyson branch founded in Eastern NC in about this era who now recognize that they did not spring from Cornelius. I can't help but wonder if our line, too, came from some other Tison.

Notes from James Tison:
No record of Cornelius ever having had a son named Moses can be found. Will start researching here soon. It could well be possible that Moses did indeed exist; but came from other parentage.
The Tison tree compiled by Harold Lawrence at Ancestry World Tree:
shows Moses as son of Matthias Tison b.1663 in Bath Co., North Carolina; Died Aft 5 Apr 1710
Matthias was a son of Cornelius and Miss Mathias. He married Mary about 1665 and had the following children:Moses TISON b: 1683 in of Pitt Co., North Carolina
Henry TISON b: 1688 in Bath Co., North Carolina
John TISON b: 1690 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Edward TISON b: 1692 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Edmund TISON b: 1694 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Samuel TISON b: 1696 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Thomas TISON b: 1698 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Mathias TISON b: 1700 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Cornelius TISON b: 1704 in Bath Co., North Carolina
Susanna TISON b: 1706 in Bath Co., North CarolinaThis version would put another generation between Moses and Cornelius, but does seem possible. Further research is underway.
Notes from James Tison:
Aaron Tison (16?? - 1710).
Many Aaron Tisons are found in both PA and NC; however, none of them even approximate this date of death.NOTE: James has Aaron's death as 1710 but Harold Lawrence has his son, John's birth as 1749.
There is a conflict here as James Tison has Miss Leath married to Aaron's son, John.
Notes from James Tison:
John Tison, Sr. (????-????). Married a "Miss Leath" at Hyde County, NC.
Public court records in Craven County, NC (New Bern) indicate that an arrest warrant and indictment were issued against him in August or September 1777 for sedition. He reportedly was drinking in a tavern, loudly complaining about conscription practices of the Colonial Army, and offered a toast to the health of King George III and to the success of the British. No further disposition of this case is found.NOTE: Other records show it was John's father, Aaron that married Mary Leath
There is a conflict here as James Tison has Miss Leath married to John's father, Aaron.
Notes from James Tison:
John Tison (1767-1804). Married Elizabeth Stafford. NOTE: I have found corroborrating evidence of this marriage in some Stafford records. I presently have an inquiry in for any further information. Date of the marriage, names of offspring are still unknown.Other sources have John's father as William or Samuel
