History: The first member of the Tyler family to come to Virginia was Henry Tyler, of Shropshire, England, who with his wife and family, settled on a small estate in "Middle Plantation" near Williamsburg, which was granted him for transporting six persons to the colony.
This family has given many illustrious sons to America, among them John Tyler, Sr., Speaker of the House of Delegates, member of the Convention of 1788, Judge of the General Court of Virginia, Governor of Virginia, Founder of the "Literary Fund" in Virginia and Judge of the United States District Court.
