Served as a lieutenant in Revolutionary War. His name appears on the MA rolls from 1775 to 1783, and also in Capt. William Willett's NY Levies. On May 25, 1789 he received his commission as Captain. In 1795 and 1804 he was a selectman, and in 1802 an assessor. He built a house at Bloody Brook and married Susanna Spofford on February 9, 1777. On September 22, 1791 he married Hannah Hopkins of West Springfield, MA. These two women bore him at least 16 children. The great grandson of William and Hannah Tryon was William Tryon, who became private secretary to Ralph Pulitzer of the "New York World". He noted William and Hannah had a tavern on Seneca Turnpike about three miles west of Manlius Village in the 1820s. The tavern probably was run by one of their sons since the Tryon residence was on Enders Road.
