Tyree OLDHAM Family Page


Tyree OLDHAM was a son of Jesse OLDHAM of Madison County, Kentucky. He was married three times, all the children by his first wife Nancy (______). The LDS IGI list her as a DANIEL, however, this is not known by this author.  Tyree is listed in Clarke County, Kentucky as administrator of the estate of Vivion Daniel.   Jesse was a son of Richard and Elizabeth Bayse Oldham.

The OLDHAM Plantation was once a 1000 acre tract that was purchased by Tyree OLDHAM and Samuel Hayden in 1816 from Henry Clay and James Hughes for $2000. In 1817, OLDHAM bought Hayden's part of the land.clash Tyree OLDHAM, an early inhabitant of Fort Boonesboro (Settlers Names A-G H-Z), brought his family to Falmouth, Kentucky about 1812. OLDHAM built the stately brick home across the river in Shoemakertown about 1825. The construction was superb. The Flemish and common brickwork it contains are reminiscent of Virginia Manor homes.

When the suspension bridge, one of the first in Kentucky, was erected, the OLDHAM Ferry was closed. Tyree OLDHAM's son, Thomas Jeffereson, who later owned the plantation, built a number of structures in town and surrounding area.

The Falmouth Christian Church and the The Doctor's Building are among them. This photo above was taken by Debbie Dennie.

The OLDHAM Cemetery is just off to the right in this picture. Jailey, Thomas, Parmela, Simpson, Harvey, Hanie, and other OLDHAMs are buried here. Most likey, Nancy, first wife of Tyree is buried here.
