Abstract:

The line of preachers began with Marvin Earl Tyson, who started preaching at age 26. Then his six sons took up the work, as did some of their children. For those who grew up in Eastern North Carolina over the past seventy years and were a Methodist, the chances are good that a Tyson shared the gospel with, wed, or buried them.
