According to William Ederington's "History of Fairfield County, South Carolina", there was an "old Henry Tynes" who lived at the headwaters of McClure's Creek, up near the border with Chester District. (The will of John Witted or Whitehead appears in Chester District.) It is my guess that this is the Henry Tynes who inherited John Witted's two slaves.
Henry seems to have had at least two sons: John and Henry. The younger Henry was probably not the one referred to in the will, since he was still in South Carolina on the 1840 census. The older Henry does not appear on the 1830 census for Fairfield District, although his two (presumed) sons are living at the headwaters of McClure's Creek. He might have died before then, but I suspect he simply moved to Georgia.
Geographic proximity suggests that Henry Tynes (the elder) was possibly a son of Samuel Tynes, of Lancaster and Kershaw Districts, South Carolina, who was a Tory during the Revolutionary War. If so, then Henry would most likely have been born in the mid- to late 1770s.
