notes:
from the 2022 article "Birth Registration and the Administration of White Supremacy", by Susan J. Pearson:
"Plecker wrote to a superintendent in Lexington warning him that the Tyree children, who had been allowed to attend the white school, were actually part of a “large group of mixed breeds of negro extraction.” Plecker also wrote directly to Mrs. Tyree to tell her that she could neither receive birth certificates for her children marking them as white nor could she enroll them in white schools."
Tyree is on Plecker's list twice, in Amherst (Migrants to Alleghany and Campbell) and in Rockbridge (Migrants to Augusta)
