About Tyree Glenn
Not Tyree Glenn
Will dated 4 Dec. 1774, probated Feb. 1775.
Tyree was 35 years old.
Wife, Sarah; sons: Jeremiah and Thomas to have home plantation and island land.
All my children: Suckey, Aggy, Jeanney, Jeremiah, Thomas.
Reportedly born in Hanover County, Virginia, where he married Sarah Shelton, the couple may have also lived in St. James Northam Parish, Goochland, VA, since several of their children are reported to have been born there. A search of those parish records may confirm it.
According to Dawn Beskins, "Tyre Glenn and his brothers Wortham, William and Beverly, all moved their families to North Carolina from Virginia around the same time (1766), together with a James Glenn, who was probably their uncle. In the Regulator's War (1767), a pre-revolutionary rebellion in NC against the crown, 'Tirey Klann' (Tyree Glenn) was arrested and forced to give oath of allegiance in Salem, NC. So was James Glenn.

Tyree Glenn received his first land grant in Rowan County, N. C. before 1769. On 10 May 1769, he purchased 225 acres on the west bank of the Yadkin River in Rowan County. [Need primary source, from https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/m/o/n/Mark-Mondt-KS/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-...]. Surry County formed in 1771 from Rowan County.
Tyree died when he was just 35 years old.
His Will, filed in Surry County, NC, is dated 4 December 1774 and probated in February Court, probably 1775. [Copy attached to this profile from Ancestry.com, North Carolina, Wills and Probate Records, 1665-1998 for Surry County]. Tyre Glen, "being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory," requests to be buried in a "Decent Christian burial" and asks that as much of his estate be sold as needed to pay his lawful debts. He bequeaths to his "dearly beloved wife" Sarah "all that I possess, and then after her decease he wishes for his sons Jeremiah and Thomas Glen "the land where I now live and the Iland [island] land to be divided as follows, "beginning at my flat landing and running in a due west course to the Back [this could also be a family name of adjacent landowners--Bach or Beck?] line," with Jeremiah to have the upper end of the said land and the Island land and Thomas to have the lower end with the plantation. After Sarah's death, the remainder of his estate (including any inheritance from his or his wife's parents) to be sold and divided equally among "all my children: Suckey, Aggy, Jeanney, Jeremiah, and Thomas." He appoints as executors William Bryant and Thomas Adaman. Wit: Samuel Gentry, Joseph Stuart, Benjamin Stuart, and James Glen. Proved and ordered to be recorded - no date but in Feby Court.

Tyree GLYN (GLENN) was given an inheritance in the will of his father, Jeremiah GLYN (GLENN) of Louisa Co., Virginia, 28 Nov 1774. Tyree himself died only a month later in North Carolina, before his father's will was probated. [Information received from Fred Odom (fredodom@@cox.net)]
"Sarah Shelton Glenn must have also died within a few years, because Thomas and his brother Jeremiah and sisters Agnes and Jean were taken in and raised by their oldest sister Susanna ("Sukey") Glenn (~1760-1834) and her husband Rev. John Blackwell, along with the ten Blackwell children. On 11 Feb 1778, court documents state that John Blackwell, guardian to children of deceased Tyree Glenn, conducted inventory of the Glenn estate. Agnes, Jean, Jeremiah, and Thomas Glenn are named as wards of Blackwell. Agnes Glenn also ended up marrying a minister, Joseph Royal ("Joroyal") Barnett, about 1780. They moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina, and were very outspoken in preaching against the institution of slavery as being morally wrong, as Rev. Blackwell did also. The other Glenn sister in this family, Jane (or Jean), married Micajah C. Barnett, brother of Rev. Joroyal Barnett." [Source: Dawn Beskins, https://wc.rootsweb.com/trees/126273/I8862/-/individual]
