Various legends tell different stories about the origins of the Tynes Family. See Mark James' thorough analysis at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tmark/Tynes.html. Whatever relation we may have to Scottish Chieftains, exiles under Cromwell, families in Bermuda, Barbados, Isle of Wight, Virginia, or Halifax, Virginia, we have only thus far established a connection to William Tines and his father-in-law Richard Davis of Caroline County, Virginia, Richard from the county's founding in 1727, and William from a debt action in 1741. They moved from there about 1758 to settle in Granville County, North Carolina. Richard wrote his will in June 1760, naming his daughter "Patien Toyns." William was granted 700 acres on Michaels Creek 8 Dec 1760, which was surveyed 27 Jul 1761 for his widow "Patience Tines." Sons Samuel and John, minor orphans, chose as their guardian a neighbor Michael Satterwhite, who served in that capacity until at least 18 Jan 1770.

William Tynes (d.1761) married Patience Davis, daughter of Richard Davis.  Apparently connected to, or an admirer of, Virginia politician Robert Fleming.
. 1. William Tynes married 4 Apr 1778 Levinah Davis, his cousin, died in Camden Dist, SC, 1782
