They had a family of five children, namely:...After the decease of old Jacob's wife he was again married to Magdalena Longenecker, widow of Isaac Urmy. Dates of her birth and death could not be ascertained. There was no issue of this marriage. After the decease of his second wife he made his home with his son, John, who resided on the old homestead. A year after the decease of his son John who died in January, 1828, he, in company with his son John's wife and three youngest children, and also his daughter, Mary, and her husband, George Bechtel, and family, moved to Canada. They first came to Waterloo to his grandson, Jacob S. Shoemaker. For some time old Jacob had his home with his son John's widow and his daughter, Mary, but after Jacob S.

Source: "Reuben Bowman, His Family" by Fred Bowman 1948
The Tysons came to America from Germany. Reynier Tyson crossed the ocean and settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania, about the year 1692. Cornelius Tyson came from Crefeld, Germany, and settled in Germantown in 1703. Thus we find that the Tysons were among the earliest of the Mennonite families to cross the ocean. All the Tysons who settled in Pennsylvania and whose descendants emigrated to Upper Canada were descended from either of the above named gentlemen but to trace the true line of descent is impossible at this date. The names of five, all of one family, are recorded, namely: Mary, Esther, Catherine, Isaac and John. They are probably grandchildren of one of the above pioneers.
Mary Tyson, was born on April 7th 1752. She was married to Jacob Shoemaker by whom she had five children. She died on July 12th 1803.
The online account of Ezra Eby's work quotes the following information about the father of Mary Tyson:
Probably this person is William Tyson b: 26 nov 1722 and his wife was Alice Nash.
His will: May 18, 1805. February 19, 1810.
