David Tryon Jr was born circa 1784 at Shaftsbury, Bennington Co, Vermont. He was the son of David Tryon and Elizabeth Lewis. David Tryon Jr married Polly Hillman on 6 July 1806 at Alburgh, Grand Isle Co, Vermont.1 David Tryon Jr married Jane Crawford, daughter of Henry Crawford, circa 1810.

David Tryon Jr was born about 1784 probably in Shaftsbury, Vermont. Although his parents married in 1783 at Ashfield, Massachusetts, they were both of Shaftsbury. His mother, Elizabeth Lewis, may have stayed with her in-laws while his father went on to Canada to stake out their home, or it is possible that David Tryon did not arrive in the Manors as early as stated in several sources. Also, his son, John T. Tryon, listed his father's birthplace as VT in the 1880 Kansas census.
It appears that David Tryon Jr was a strong follower of Methodism. It has been a great disappointment to not yet locate the baptismal records of his children except for that of Mary in 1814 in the Dunham Wesleyan Methodist Circuit Steward's book (1806-1882). Even in this record the birth date is incomplete, giving only the year. In a document located within the files of notary Leon Lalanne dated 19 July 1822, David Tryon "the younger" of Caldwell Manor voluntarily donated land in Lot #18 in the 6th Range to the British Wesleyan Methodist Society "with a view to the facilitation of the preaching and the teaching of the Gospel in Caldwells Manor.." for "permanent establishment of the doctrines...in the Reverend John Wesley's Notes upon the New Testament and his four volumes of sermons.." Later, in the 1830's his children's marriages are recorded by the minister of the St Armand Methodist Church. Clarenceville's Methodist Church finally began in 1845, and his branch of the family began attending there. He appeared on the census of 1851 at Clarenceville, Rouville Co, Quebec; David Tryan, farmer, b. US, Methodist, 68, Rhoda, b. US, Presbyterian, 56, Jane, Methodist, 33, widowed.4
