Hopestill Tyler

What Mollie wrote about him in The Holbrook and Low Families, and her claims about him checked against the records.

1. His brother Samuel bought fifteen acres and a house from him at Mendon.

2. Mollie names Charles A. Dana and Theodore Roosevelt's second wife among his descendants (Brigham bears out the Roosevelt descent, but Dana's was not found).

   Job Tyler has many descendants, and a number of notable ones, of whom I am able to mention only Charles A. Dana, who descended through Job's son Hopestill. From this son also, came Theodore Rosevelt's second wife

Checked against the records

• Possible
  Charles A. Dana descended from Job Tyler through Hopestill

  Not traced. Dana is not in the index of Brigham's Tyler Genealogy (1912). His mother was a Denison, and Brigham records Hopestill-line Tylers marrying Denisons, but no chain has been found.

• Proven
  Theodore Roosevelt's second wife, Edith, descended from Job through Hopestill

  True, by Brigham's Tyler Genealogy: Job > Hopestill > Daniel > Daniel > Capt. Daniel (m. Mehitable Putnam, daughter of Gen. Israel Putnam) > Gen. Daniel > Gertrude (m. Charles Carow) > Edith Kermit Carow, who married Roosevelt in 1886. Her children are descendants; his daughter Alice, by his first wife, is not.
