Garry and Carl,
Tye River is located in Nelson County,Virginia, according to a map that we received when we visited the area to see the Walton's Mountain Museum at Schuyler, Virginia.The North Fork of Tye River is north of Montebello, and the South Fork is south of Montebello and there is a gap on the map.You need a good VA State map. From I-81, turn on Highway 56 to Montebello.The river runs through the George Washington National Forest.The map shows Highway 56 running along the river. It is very close or part of the Blue Ridge Mountain area. It seems to cross Highway 29 south of Lovingston.I noticed that someone mentioned Amherst County.I think Nelson and Amherst Counties must be close. You can call Nelson County, Virginia at 804-263-5239 for a map and information.
I have some history on the river if you are interested.The river has been documented in several publications.I will see if I have something on the ancestor that was mentioned.WS
