Compiled genealogy of the descendants of Job Tyler of Andover and Mendon, read in the archive.org full text. Prints transcripts of many records: Job Tyler's 1659 deposition against John Godfrey, his 1662 conveyance to Godfrey (witnessed by Robert and Mary Lord), his retraction of the Chandler slander, and the Roxbury church entries.

Gives the child lists used for Job, Samuel, Capt. Samuel, Ebenezer and Rowland Tyler. For Rowland (no. 701): "married (1), March 28, 1804, Sally Ginn, born February 20, 1784; died March 12, 1834; daughter of William H. Ginn, a shipbuilder of Ellsworth, Maine." That parentage conflicts with Mollie Pfeiffer's Ginn chart (Capt. James Ginn and Ann Riggs).

Some internal conflicts: Ebenezer Tyler's birth is "Mar. 25" in his own entry but May 25 in his father's child list; Hannah (Read) Tyler's birth is given as July 7, 1744, against 26 June 1744 in Lothrop.

More from vol. 1, used for the Tyler pages:

  • Capt. Samuel Tyler (pp. 67-68): bought land of Matthew Short for £100 on 13 June 1715, aged twenty; "far the most important early Tyler of the locality"; captain of the First ("South Town") company of the Attleborough train band, 9 Apr 1757 (Massachusetts Archives); selectman 1724, 1728, 1732, 1737-39, 1747-51 and 1753; representative to the General Court 1737, 1745 and 1747-49; will dated 16 May 1759, proved 11 June 1759; "all his three sons becoming Revolutionary veterans, one being a lieutenant, and another major-general of militia; five of his grandsons also served in the Revolution, thus making eight all told, from this immediate family, of the ten Tylers furnished by the town to that cause."
  • Col. Ebenezer Tyler (p. 111): "three times deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts"; will dated 7 Aug 1804, probated 2 July 1811, with his wife and son Samuel as executors, Samuel "to have all lands, buildings, etc., and to pay debts and legacies," and the other children "were left small sums of money, having received some portions of their shares previously."
  • Rowland Tyler (no. 701, pp. 220-221): "born in Attleboro, Mass.," 2 Feb 1780; "married (2), Mrs. Daggett"; "After marrying Mr. Daggett's widow, a tavern, built by Mr. Daggett about 1820, came into his possession. There he kept the 'Tyler Stand' tavern"; a deacon of the church; "The children were born in Dixmont." His twin, Dr. Abijah Weld Tyler, drowned in the Penobscot River on 22 Aug 1807.

For King Philip's War (research/king-philips-war/), vol. 1:

  • Job Tyler: "In 1676 the birth of one of his grandchildren was recorded in Roxbury, and he may have returned there on account of King Philip's war, as Mendon was burned and the inhabitants fled"; at Rowley Village by 1680 (1:12-13).
  • Mary Tyler, Job's daughter, "married (1), November 18, 1662, Richard Post, of Woburn ... killed in Mendon, Mass., July 14, 1675, by the Indians" (1:23-24).
  • Hopestill Tyler: "In 1675 when the inhabitants fled from the Indian raid he went to his old home in Roxbury, for his child Martha ... was baptized there, and the next year his son John was born there. By 1681 he is at Andover" (1:26).
  • John Tyler: "He doubtless spent some years of his youth in Mendon with his father, with whom he must have fled at the outbreak of King Philip's War to Rowley Village, and later went to Andover" (1:33).
  • Samuel Tyler: "this 'Samuel Taylor of Rowley,' reported 'slayne,' was in reality Samuel Tiler of Rowley ... it is also quite clear, that Samuel Tiler must have been wounded in that bitter fight, and left behind; and so, later, reported dead" (1:35-36); "in 1682, he was still of 'Rowley Village', when ... his brother Hope deeded him his fifteen-acre house lot at Mendon" (1:36). That the "Samuel Taylor of Rowley" of the slain list was Samuel Tyler is probable; the wound is Brigham's surmise, recorded nowhere.

  17. For King Philip's War (`research/king-philips-war/`), vol. 1:
  18. - Job Tyler: "In 1676 the birth of one of his grandchildren was recorded in Roxbury, and he may have returned
  19. there on account of King Philip's war, as Mendon was burned and the inhabitants fled"; at Rowley Village by
  20. 1680 (1:12-13).
