What it says

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.
