The information in ( ) is her knowledge, family records or her research.
History of the cemetery, by EULA MAE MCNUTT;
JAMES TYREE (1814 - 1877) bought the land from a MR. BERRY, which was a wilderness. They lived in covered wagons, and first built a big spring house of logs with a room above to sleep in because of wild animals. He then built a large two story log house, which vandals burned in 1986. I made a photo of it when I was there in 1985. JAMES TYREE had two wives and 15 children. First wife MARY ELIZABETH "POLLY" HALL (B. 1815), second wife MARY YOUNG (1836 - 1900). His will is recorded in Scott Co. Va and the house went to the youngest which was MARTHA and she married ISAAC ECHOL NICKELS. He was in charge of the Election ballot box in 1903 at the Fairview Va. School house. He was killed over the box and MARTHA at the time was sick in bed with tuberculosis. She died a year later. When her children sold the land to her sister's husband and children, the WRIGHTS, who still owns the land, one acre was accepted around the grave yard for the burring ground. So it was changed to NICKELS from TYREE CEMETERY. The deed is recorded in the Deed Book 72, Page 135, Scott Co. Va., dated Dec 14, 1921.
JAMES TYREE & MARY ELIZABETH "POLLY" HALL children are;
