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.
John Tyler, President of the United States, and his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler, author, scholar and for many years President of William & Mary College, added further glory to the name.
The Tyler family has been represented in Caroline from the formation of the county to the present day. The old deed books of Essex county and the records of South Farnham Parish, show that "William Tyler, of Caroline county," sold a certain tract of land, lying in Farnham Parish, to South Farnham Parish, to Joseph Dunn as early as 1749. This William Tyler died about 1767, and his son William was the administrator of his estate. The County Court of Caroline on November 3, 1767, appointed three commissioners to settle the accounts of William Tyler as administrator for William Tyler, deceased. The County Court record of August 8, 1767, shows that the latter William Tyler was one of the Caroline's Justices of the Peace, and the Caroline county assessor's books. The Virginia Gazette of 1771, shows that he was at that time Clerk of the County Court of Caroline. This William Tyler was of the same lineage as President Tyler, and was the great grandfather of James Hoge Tyler, Governor of Virginia 1898-1902. He was the son of George Tyler & Eliza Hoge.

1749 - Farnham Parish, Essex Co., VA - There is a William Tyler: The old deed books of Essex county and the records of South Farnham Parish, show that "William Tyler, of Caroline County," sold a certain tract of land, lying in Farnham Parish to Joseph Dunn as early as 1749.
1759 - April 12 - Caroline Co., VA - William Tyler served as justice at county court and called a gentleman. He took the oath appointed by Act of Parliament, subscribed the Test and was sworn to a military commission as a captain of the militia. - possibly the son

1767 - Caroline Co., VA - This William Tyler [Tyler who sold land to Joseph Dunn] died about 1767, and his son William was the administrator of his estate.

1776-1781 - Virginia - DAR Genealogical Database lists a William Tyler with the marriages above. He is said to have furnished food and pasturage as his service. This would be in keeping with his age during the American Revolution.
