Wife of Col. Ebenezer Tyler of Attleborough. In the autumn of 1775 her household and her parents' lost six people in under three weeks. By date (Attleborough VR deaths): her brother David, 12 Sept; her brother Ezra, 21 Sept; her mother Mary (White) Read, 23 Sept; her son Leander, 26 Sept; her sons Rowland and Habijah, 1 Oct. No cause is recorded.

Her younger brother Daniel, born in November 1757, was very probably the hymn-tune composer Daniel Read (1757-1836) of New Haven, whose tunes "Windham" and "Sherburne" are still sung (inference; the evidence is set out on her father's page).

Mollie Pfeiffer recalled her lost will as saying "To my granddaughter, Hannah Read Tyler, I leave a silver spoon." That is tradition; the will has not been found.

Open questions

  • Bristol County probate, 1822: is there a will, and does it name the spoon?
